Litsy is going wonky, so my original post seems to have gone missing. Trying again.
I am rearranging my bookshelves and need inspiration to help organize all my unread books to make them easier to find. Right now all my TBR books are scattered across multiple shelves, in stacks, on my desk...basically everywhere. It makes it hard to find books to fill reading challenge prompts
Show my your TBR bookcases! I need ideas! #tbrshelfie
MaGoose Only 20 unread books?! My, my, the author must be a newbie bookster. I have several thousand unread books, mostly on my Nook, but some actual print books. 😃 😄 4y
alisiakae @MaGoose I actually edited that pic to say 200, but Litsy isn't working properly for me this morning. Not sure why! 4y
TheSpineView I MUST file alphabetically by author. It's a thing, what can I say. Then the books I plan on reading first are on my library cart. 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Mine are all over too...the ones I‘m hoping to read sooner end up on my mini bookshelf/nightstand...and then as I create openings there, I pull in others from the larger shelves/piles mix. 4y

alisiakae @Riveted_Reader_Melissa This is what I have been doing, but lately, a book comes to mind that I want to read, and then it takes me days to find it on one of my shelves. 😂 4y
Sarahreadstoomuch I don‘t really have a great organization system (I know, I‘m a librarian, it‘s embarrassing) but I do take them all off the shelf once a year and reassess if I actually still want to read each book. Then I put them back, with the ones I‘m most excited about seeing again toward the top. 4y
jb72 My bookcases are total chaos. I am of no help at all. 4y
alisiakae @jb72 😂 😂 😂 4y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I feel your pain!!! 4y
Gissy Mine are all in boxes because I'm moving but I packed them in the way I will like to organize them, by genres. However, there are some books that I will organize in special way like the penguin special editions. 4y
janeycanuck I get so confused by people who mix read and unread books. All my unread paper books are together, organized by year I acquired them and then by height within each year. Then I can stand and look at everything I haven‘t read yet when I‘m deciding what to read next. 4y
alisiakae @janeycanuck That is impressive organization! I‘m still on the fence as to how I am going to reorganize my shelves. I‘m waiting till popsugar puts out the 2020 RC, so I can select books for prompts while I rearrange my shelves! 4y
janeycanuck @4thhouseontheleft it works for me... and hopefully, you figure out what works for you, too! 4y
