Welcome to Litsy!

This is my #top24of24! I was a bit stingier with the 5⭐️ this year, and only 8 received that (upper left quadrant plus Dead Bastards and Cue the Sun in bottom right). The rest are 4.75⭐️ and 4.5⭐️. Nine of these are nonfiction, which is about normal and pretty close to my reading NF/F split. Can‘t wait to see even more of these as the year winds up! 👏🏻📚

Just two weeks until the end of the year, it‘s time for our tradition to share our #Top24of24.

This is mine so far. And yes, if you look good it are actually 25 books 😉.

I‘ll tag a few people to get things started, please share your favorites and tag a few more 💝

100%!!!

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.

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.

And here are the keepers from the boxes in my previous post 📚😁

There are similar sized stacks of books that I already own, so lots of sharing for the Little Free Libraries around town!!!

Literally… I even had a book with me at my dad‘s funeral!
