I asked, and y'all wanted a bookcase tour, so here it is! I borrowed my sister's camera rather than try and do it with my crappy webcam/cell camera, so it's actually a decent quality!
For those of you too lazy to watch the video - or who did and want to creep better on all of my bookcases - here are some pics:

Now, for somebody that has 3.5 bookcases, I don't seem to own a lot of books, especially compared to other bloggers. (I own roughly 300 books.) I'm a big fan of purging my bookshelves - if I finish a book and I don't think I'll reread it, I put it to the side and try to find it a new home. I'd rather have my books loved than sitting and collecting dust, ya know? Some I give to my sister/my friends/my sister's friends. Some end up at the local exchange bookstore (you can trade in books for credit to buy other books!) and some end up being donated to the library. Some I just give away, like the giant box of ARCs I just got rid of or the 100 or so books I got rid of this past summer. It also helps keep my room clean.
Do you like my organization system? (I hate doublestacking!) How do you keep your books organized?
Nice shelves! Thanks for the book tour, as I love seeing how others organize their books! I have my bookcases divided by hardcovers, paperbacks, TBR, favorite authors, and ARCs.
ReplyDeleteMy HC and PB shelves are organized by author's last name, just like a library. I blame that compulsion on several years working as a bookseller! *L*
I am another one who doesn't have a ton of books comparatively. I tend to pass them on, I want to share my love of reading.
ReplyDeleteThat and I have an obsession with ebooks - so I have over 300 on my Kindle, but physical books I tend to giveaway unless they are my absolute favorites.
I cannot believe I saw Divergent by Veronica Roth on your to-read shelf that you will read eventually!!! Drop everything now and read it!! I LOVED it SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
