I have this book in the shelf I bought second handed. I finally opened it tonight just to realize how dirty it is. I'm not sure I want to read it anymore. Yes I even try to wash it with a wet cloth.. Should I toss it ?

I'll risk being treacly bc I think I'm among like minds: my books are friends (and sometimes enemies). I remember the experience of reading them, & where/who I was at that time, it's a nice way to access good memories. I have lived in literally scores of places (9 states, 3 countries, 2 continents)- but I drag these babies around with me all over the country/world for a reason.

Someday, instead of having shelves in every room of my house, I’ll have a library. Until then … organized(ish) by room. (Kitchen, kids’ rooms, and guest rooms not pictured.)

Stay caffeinated my friends!

Constantly in flux. Got some more shelves in the basement now and will probably share a pic of that once finished.

I have new book shelves being made currently and they should be installed next week. Fingers crossed. I am trying to decide how I want to organize the books once they are up. Obviously now I have books 3 deep on my one small shelf and more in boxes and totes which sucks.

I cant decided if I want them organized alphabetically by author or by genre. I see some of y'all doing it by color and my OCD cant with that. I need my book series together. Which do you feel is easier to navigate for yourself?

My inner sanctum.

Looking for a cute rug, but so far we are two happy wives with our reading nook.

My home library isn’t super huge. My current book count is 370, but My goal is ofcourse 1k one day if I can make em fit that is lol. 🥰

Presenting my small and cute book collection! Some are from my childhood and some are my mother’s. Most are recent as I took up reading rigorously from the past two years.

Thoughts and recommendations please :)
