Rearranging shelves & Un-hauling books
How many times have I said that I should rearrange my bookshelves and ended up not doing it ? Way too many times š Ā Well happy news, I finally DID IT!!Ā šš¼šš¼Ā I also managed to un-haul quite alot of books.. which kinda surprised me.
I thought it would be fun to share my new shelves organisation with you guys, the last time being when I got my new shelving in March 2020.. as you could probably guess, I got a load of new books in the last year: finally filling my shelves and kinda āoverloadingā it in the set-up it was in, running out of place to shove them..
Ā
First, letās have theĀ Ā« Before Ā» picture. All the books had been filled originally vertically, and then as I got them out of my āUnread pileā I just kinda shoved them horizontally wherever it seemed to fit.Ā Which is not a good look
Ā
I still donāt have a particular style of organisation here, however, all the books that I have from the same author are now together (rather than series only). I also wanted to separate my french from my english books, instead of being mixmatching everywhere, having all the same language in one squareĀ (exception with Ruth Wareās, thereās one I got in french in the pile, etc).Ā
I also gained an extra square for books as I took one of my two gaming ones, and decided to expose them on the top instead; having the second one being solely my amiibos. The last three on the bottomĀ (Big books/table-thing & doggie square)Ā as been left un-touched.

Un-hauled books;
As iāve mentionned before, Iāve grown quite dissapointed of recent French books that I found.. so itās no surprise that all but one are in french. I also took the opportunity to let go of some books that I read ages ago that I donāt quite remember, and donāt feel like iāll be reading again ā for a total of 13!

Whatās your current shelf organisation, do you have one?
Have you gotten rid of any books lately?
I currently organize my books just by favorites and authors. I also have most of my mass paperback below because I prefer showing my bigger books. I don’t really have a system but I organized them by genre for years before getting bored. I’m moving next month so I have few boxes of books I plan to unhaul before that.
Ooff yes, That would be a good thing to unhaul before then so you can only pack the ones you do want š
I mainly had them only sorted by read/unread. Now however I have added French/english too, and I created a shelf strictly for my hardback.. which is my favorite sofar! whenever I can, I also put the color together :p
