I can’t seem to make my bookshelf feel “right”

I can’t seem to make my bookshelf feel “right”

To be honest, I’ve never really felt like I connected with my bookshelf (if that makes sense 😅). I have so many things that I love, but whenever I try to put everything together, I always end up feeling like something is off and wanting to redo the whole thing.
I reorganized it again today and I’m still not sure how I feel about it. I really love the first shelf, but from there… I feel like it kind of goes downhill 😂
is there anything that immediately stands out to you that you would change?
Or am I just overthinking it?
I’d really appreciate any suggestions!

Slowly growing my bookshelf

I've been working on this shelf this past year and adding (mostly) used books to it. I'm not the fastest reader, so it's been a gradual growth.

20, my first bookshelf and most of my books!

Just got them out and organized roughly. It’s a varied lot, and only recently have begun to curate it to be better.

I like history, politics, political philosophy, non-fiction and fiction that’s, in my opinion, ‘worthwhile’.

Thoughts? Any books here you like or have read? Any recommendations??
