It is true that book always enjoys more attention than its faithful supporter-bookshelf. This book, however,is a tribute to this essential piece of furniture in our life, presenting creative bookshelf designs from around the globe which would provide fresh ideas for readers. An illustrated foldout was carefully made to introduce a brief historical development of bookshelf. -- Publisher's web site

When I was 23, my husband and I bought a trailer. It was a 5 year plan at the time to save for a new home. 1 recession later and a lot of serious life changes turned those 5 years to 15. This November we finally got the home and land that we‘ve craved. At 38 years old, this is my first “real” bookshelf. It‘s such a small thing probably to most. But I am so proud of us and the team that we are! Decorating this shelf seems almost symbolic!

julesG Congratulations! Enjoy filling it with your favourite books and books you look forward to. 1y
Chrissyreadit Congratulations! I hope your home is filled with books and love! 1y

Finished (for now)
This arrangement feels darker… it‘s nice to have it all tidy and dusted!

Now if I could just lay my hands on my missing script I‘d be happy! Also if the tradie would come soon that would also be great… starting my work week by going into time debt isn‘t my idea of a good time.

thereadingpal Such pretty shelves! Hope you find your missing script 2y
julesG I love your shelves! 2y

I started with a plan but it got lost…

Screaming but quietly because it‘s after midnight & I live in an apartment building. Maybe saying YOLO this afternoon and going to the art gallery instead of completing my “to do” list was not my best idea… (I‘m shocked 😂 I‘d say why am I like this - but nothing motivates me like the last minute & nothing sparks a clean up like knowing a tradie will be here to judge me in the morning)

thereadingpal How was the art gallery? Beautiful shelves btw 2y
Chrissyreadit Love your shelves! 2y
Ruthiella I do the same if a tradespeople is coming over! I don‘t want them judging my housekeeping! 😂 2y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @thereadingpal, really good! There was a new, free exhibition called Who Are You : Australian Portraiture and I was keen to see it! Thanks ☺️📚 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Chrissyreadit ☺️📚 thank you! 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Ruthiella, it‘s partially that I‘m a chaos queen so am forever in need of a tidy up - but I‘ve also just had a lot of “oh look at all your books / knickknacks” and it‘s never felt super complimentary (I figure they are just not used to colour and don‘t read but still) 2y

Ever since my Instagram got hacked (& is irretrievable) I‘ve been feeling a bit 😩 so I decided to rearrange my most often used backdrop as I start again…

So this is how I started and now it‘s 1.30am and I‘ve lost control of the rainbow. I should probably go to bed or make myself a hot chocolate and turn my music down.

kaysworld1 I'm sorry to hear that. When mine hot hacked they told me to send a picture of myself with a code they sent me, crazy I know but I got mine back. Hope you can sort something out for yourself xxx 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @kaysworld1, I‘ve done that a bunch of times and been unsuccessful. Although not with a code, it‘s like a video selfie with your face at different angles. Glad to hear that the system isn‘t entirely broken - if you were able to get yours back. (edited) 2y
Leftcoastzen I‘m so sorry that happened to you! I‘ve never had an insta ,but some people are just awful! I‘m sorry so many people are mean or evil on social media, it is so far away from the good intentions that started these entities. 2y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Leftcoastzen, thanks! It is puzzling behaviour because what are they getting out of it? Obviously something because it‘s a widespread issue. I loved my account because it was like a photo journal of my life stretching all the way back to 2012. 2y

I decided to redo my living room bookshelf. It is now only non-fiction books. It's so very "adult" to me. ?

I don‘t think I‘ve posted a pic of my shelves since adding a third bookcase a few weeks ago. So glad to have my books more organized and not have to have each shelf double stacked. Books are roughly organized by genre and/or type. I have so many unread books, that my one major New Years resolution is to read from what I already own.

ljuliel Very nice and neat. I like your Beatles/ Ed Sullivan poster on top. 🎸 🎶 4y
Kimberlone @ljuliel thank you! I love the Beatles 4y

BeckyandBooks 😍😍 I love pictures of bookshelves, and am always jealous/envious because I don‘t have the room for shelves like this. 4y
InkintheMargins That is a great resolution and something I need to focus on as well to pare down my TBR. I have ZERO restraint when a book catches my eye. I always rationalize that I will read it someday anyway. Lol. 4y
Kimberlone @BeckyandBooks this is the first place I‘ve lived that I‘ve been able to have shelves like this! I had my books stacked in crates for the longest time. I love being able to see them displayed like this now! 4y
Kimberlone @MadDashReading Same here! But now that I have three full bookshelves I‘m really going to try to limit myself this year! 4y

Suet624 My dream is just to have another bookshelf. I don't care where it is. Attic, basement, bedroom, please! Anywhere! My boxes of books need a place to sit and breathe after being in the dark for so long. :( :)

Best Christmas gift ever!
I‘d been outgrowing my bookshelves for a long while, so my hubby bought me a new bookshelf just for my cookbooks! It arrived yesterday and I‘ve had a lovely morning organizing it.... (a bit of a “busman‘s holiday” for this bookseller!)

Mine is personal significance! Oddly enough, if it‘s organized any other way, I get uneasy.🤣📚❤️

Soscha Mine are “Jammed in in double rows wherever books can fit.” 5y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I'd say mine is personal significance as well. Or maybe organized chaos. Lol. 📚 5y
candority I do height and personal significance! 5y
See All 6 Comments
Aims42 I hadn‘t realized that I may be a tad OCD with my bookshelf organization until now😂 First by genre, then by height, BUT not tallest to shortest, it has to be mixed up 5y
Zelma Mine is by height/type- hardbacks, trade paperbacks, smaller paperbacks all grouped together. but with the exception of reference grouped together. (edited) 5y
rabbitprincess Stacked and double-stacked! I also sort roughly by genre, but room on the bookshelf is the primary consideration 😬 5y

I AM IN AWE OF THIS LITTLE SHELF‘S ABILITIES! Two rows deep on each shelf, and I was able to fit ALL of my paperbacks that didn‘t have a shelf home, onto it; plus some. Mostly horizontal (FTW!)

Still have some organizing to do, but I had to take a moment to congratulate the I shelf I had major doubts in 😂😍🙌🏻♥️

Alrighty, friends! I received the pictured shelf for my birthday. It's much smaller than I anticipated, even though I did my dimensions.. - insert self judgment face-

The top will be reserved for my new printer and décor... but the bottom two need to fit the majority of my monstrous TBR list... How would YOU guys do efficient shelfing? Books stacked on top of each other, or two rows (one front, one behind) just normally stacked? (spine showing..)

MotionChickness Or maybe I do the middle shelf for my printer which leaves me much more space on top to stack?? 5y
Hestapleton I stack horizontally! Gives you much more room. 5y
MotionChickness @Hestapleton Thanks!!♥️ That makes the most sense, but wanted to check with everyone on the off chance there might be more room doing the standard book-shelfing 😂 I‘m at work or else I‘d test the theory myself. 5y
Insightsintobooks I agree, horizontally would give you more room. 5y
Crazeedi I recently bought a bookshelf I thought was bigger than it actually was, it's now my cookbook shelf😊 5y

It was a slow work day so why not totally rearrange my bookshelves? They used to be alphabetized by author‘s last name, but I wanted something more aesthetically pleasing. Andrew and I even managed to get rid of quite a few books we knew we no longer loved. Still a work in progress but loving it so far!

Taking a break from prepping for my sister‘s bridal shower to show you a #shelfie of my latest bookshelf configuration! Had to clear out three shelves‘ worth of space for my brother‘s books, so mine are more squished together than previously.
