I have a couple of series, if I don't stack them, I run out of room on my shelf. :-) It does make it annoying getting the middle and bottom ones out.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508705863477611189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398017144064278390.post-31577122589097714792013-06-14T15:48:58.486-05:002013-06-14T15:48:58.486-05:00Just stack them on top of each othere.

Organised to the extent that my partner has one large bookcase, my daughter has another and I have one, then we have another shelf for communal books, another for non fiction and one for old and collectable books. On each of those shelves books tend to just get thrown in, in no particular order. Every now and again I decided to tidy things up a bit and organise titles, usually by genre or time period first then author, but they don't stay that way. I also stack them in, you do what you have to.

Can books really look cluttered? I don't think so. :-)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508705863477611189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398017144064278390.post-921686055791245732013-06-12T23:22:10.712-05:002013-06-12T23:22:10.712-05:00I'm afraid, right now, in our home it's wh...I'm afraid, right now, in our home it's wherever they can fit.

It's soooo pretty.<br /><br />I usually don't keep my books, except for the ones I know I'll read again like Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. So typically, once I finish reading them, I post them on Paper Back Swap. If a couple of months go by and they haven't been mailed to another reader, I take them to Half Price Books. <br /><br />For me, there's soooooo many books that I want to read, I doubt I'll re-read the ones I've already read, so I just send them off to a new person.Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326659540055130033noreply@blogger.com
