Next...First of all, your husband is a sweetie pie! Next, I hope you like Bleak House, which is one of my favorites. The first couple of chapters are a bit slow, but stick with it, it is so worth it!<br /><br />Finally, bookshelves -- I have a bookcase in the kitchen (is that weird?) which has cookbooks, food essays, food memoirs, and some travel books. I have another bookcase which has all my Harry Potters and children&#39;s fantasy, children&#39;s classics, then some other classics, mostly Dickens and Austen and related books. Then I have one bookshelf with books I&#39;ve read and another with books I haven&#39;t. Plus lots of books in boxes in the garage, waiting patiently for built in bookshelves. I can dream, can&#39;t I?Karenlibrarianhttp://karensbooksandchocolate.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-30343931531742994652010-08-16T09:10:55.453-04:002010-08-16T09:10:55.453-04:00I organize my books by author and then in sequence...I organize my books by author and then in sequence to either when they were written or if it is a series by series. I have a TBR shelf and then after they are read they go to the shelf with their author. I have shelves in my family room, library and bedrooms. I love displaying mine on bookshelves and have to admit that I am now filling up the bookcases in the bedrooms of my children who have moved on out of the house :). It gives me so much more room to grow!.

I was so ecstatic! We turned one whole room into a library, with bookshelves around two walls (the other two walls have a big window and closet, so no shelf space) and then four bookcases down the center of the room so it really does look like a library. And yet I still have books spilling into other rooms. As for organization, I keep my children&#39;s and some young adult books upstairs, separate from the library. I have some young adult series in the library (like Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia), then everything is divided into non-fiction and fiction. The non-fiction takes up two big bookcases and are organized chronlogically since most of them are history books. Then random non-fiction are organized at the end. My fiction books are organized alphabetically right now and are divided into read and TBR books. Once I get my TBR shelves tamed I may reorganize that. We also have a really nice hardbook set of the Great Books that we keep in the living room. And I keep a few favorites on a shelf in my bedroom.Lindsey Sparkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654365166738983077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-52796098925849005842010-08-16T01:22:34.490-04:002010-08-16T01:22:34.490-04:00Your husband sounds like an angel!

And your mum too!<br /><br />Some of my books are in my bedroom (like 100), others are on a bookshelf that is at the hall (200) and others are on a bookshelf in the garage (200) with some other books of my mum and brothers (old textbooks). I am desperated to buy a new bookshelf!<br /><br />I loved your post... it would be wonderful if you&#39;d give a video-tour or photo-tour of your bookshelves (even if I get green in envy!).<br /><br />I can&#39;t wait for more book.posts and for the next Thursdsay Treat.CaRiiToOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235918193299700180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-57987111683205453342010-08-16T00:04:36.364-04:002010-08-16T00:04:36.364-04:00Your book collection makes me want to start my own...Your book collection makes me want to start my own book collection!

Just fyi. :D<br /><br />Jason and I have a strange way that we&#39;ve organized our shelves. We each have different cases for our own books (ie books I don&#39;t want to read but he does is on his shelf, and vice versa). Then we have a shared shelf for the &quot;both of us&quot; books. We have short stories, plays, nonfiction, poetry, mythology, and language material all separated out, as well as my Harry Potter collection, and then I have a shelf that&#39;s solely devoted to my Just-Me-TBR, and Jason has a shelf solely devoted to a 50-book set mostly consisting of ancient philosophers.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-7513348592330578352010-08-15T18:26:10.858-04:002010-08-15T18:26:10.858-04:00is there a blogger that doesnt own the Billy bookc...is there a blogger that doesnt own the Billy bookcase ;) We have two ourselves.
