As the title says, they just drive me nuts but I heavily prefer hard covers. I also do not like having my books toward the back of the shelf. I am fully aware that it would protect them better from dust and fading but I just can’t contain my crazy.

Second to last photo is my “bookshelf” with no books, I just wanted to share because I think she’s stunning. Also was curious how those on this sub feel about “decor books”. I got most of my older books as gifts with this as the intended purpose and I ended up loving it as I can still read them and share there beauty as well.

A great bit of knowledge on these here shelves

Now my mission is to fill it with books and stuff 🤗 worthy mission!

Had so many books I had to spread them out a little 😅 I like to separate each shelf on my main shelf by genre, so I have fantasy (my favorite), horror (next favorite), classics, and then miscellaneous fiction/nonfiction (featuring some of my favorite childhood books) and lastly historical.

Not recent, but the last time it was clean lol. There’s a roll top desk to the left of the doorway that holds my nonfiction & Anne of Green Gables collection.

Many of these books I've saved from my childhood (mainly the ones on the short bookcase). All the others I've slowly collected over time. Bonus picture of my kitchen books.

We’re hoping this will prevent us from buying more books. Probably not though

I didn’t have enough shelf pace when I purchased these (👀) so I had them just stacked next to this case. Then my Mamaw suggested to just put the books inside and assured me that it won’t get too hot as we have AC and that it should get enough airflow as it’s not tightly sealed. The shades are down almost all of the time so there’s no direct sunlight but I’m still worried about them.

Currently doing Reorganizing and would like ideas on how I can reorganize my bookshelf. (At the bottom I have a to-read pile which I have been going through from books I have saved over the years) I don't have a lot of space in my room to store many items.

It’s a dream to eventually have a library like his eventually

Can’t wait to see how it grows over the year!

I have one more unit to install but don't have enough to fill it just yet. I wouldn't normally put plants near books but it's the best light in the house, so I take them down periodically to water and fertilize.
