Your Book case
Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2018 1:52 pm
What does your book case look like? Is it neatly sorted with all the backs in a neat and even row and authors sorted alphabetically, or are they all sorted according to height or colour perhaps? Or are you like me and have more of a system of "If I can cram in one more book here, I will!"
I've noticed that's quite different for a lot of people. Some people even have room for decorative objects in between their books and it looks great. Full disclosure: I don't. In my bookcase, if the books aren't tall enough to take up all the space to the next shelf, chances are I'll have other books lying on top of them to fill that space. Not because I think it looks good, cause it doesn't, but because I am running out of bookshelf space to store my books in. When I first got my bookcases I also had an idea that I would sort them alphabetically... The reality of it is... that that's not happening. I do however make sure that if there is a book series that they at least stand together and if I have other books of the same author I try to get them to be in the same spot though that's not always successful. And yet.. I somehow always know where my books are.
So that made me curious. How do other HOLers sort their book cases? Or 'not sort them' as might well be the case too. And are you good at remembering where your books are?
