Welcome to Litsy!

Today is my birthday (61st it's hard to believe), so of course I had to go buy some books for my ever growing, slightly groaning TBR shelves. I liked Blake Crouch's Upgrade, and I already have Dark Matter, Stardust is the only book by Neil Gaiman that I haven't read (I tried watching the movie and stopped 30 minutes into it), and Dreadful just sounded like a fun book.

Got this today at a book sale at a local book store.

Bit of a rainy day but the Brooklyn Book Festival is on!

Great as always, even in the rain. Came home with 5 new books for the TBR pile!

Despite what my girlfriend would say, going to the used bookstore and only purchasing 4 books shows an enormous amount of restraint on my part. I could have easily walked out with a dozen, but I have to wait until I purchase a new bookcase because I've about reached the limit with my current set up.

@Eggs thanks for the tag💕 #WondrousWednesday
I organize by genre/subject(nonfiction and fiction blended together), by author within genre, in the order I read them or in series order; unless I have to stack them because of shelf size due to following the ceiling (which is a giant pain-the-ass for me). In that case, I find size order more appealing. My husband (the shelf builder) loves the mix of stacked & vertical books; I've made peace with it🤣

After MUCH trial and error, I‘m finally happy with my book storage arrangement. Once I stopped trying to keep read favorites separate from TBR, it became easier to let each shelf be its own little collection. These two are in the middle of a tall bookcase and are probably the most “camera ready” of the set.

You know how you plan to buy one book and come out with many? I only wanted Titan's Day, then I saw the Palahniuk book and it sounded interesting, then the book by Jeff Vandermeer (who I've never read but wanted to try), then the new fantasy series by Van Loan sounded very intriguing, so I left with 5 instead of 1. But for only $6.69!! Who can blame me?!

Book read to Henry ☺️ 📚

I forgot to post my #bookhaul from Friday's visit to the used book store. Good picks for under 20 bucks.
