BTT: Storage
This is a good question for my sleepy brain! I love arranging and rearranging my books too. It's oddly relaxing. :-)I recently got new bookshelves for my room, and I’m just loving them. Spent the afternoon putting up my books and sharing it on my blog . One of my friends asked a question and I thought it would be a great BTT question. So from Tina & myself, we’d like to know “How do you arrange your books on your shelves? Is it by author, by genre, or you just put it where it falls on?"
Mine are in split by genre if there are enough to warrant it. I have small SF, classics, and plays sections, slightly bigger fantasy, general fiction, and children's/YA sections, and a Mercedes Lackey section that is the biggest (not by much). :-) Within these they're arranged by author. CDs and DVDs are on a bookshelf too, arranged by artist and title respectively.
My books share space with a few dinky ornaments. I have a little archer dude made out of scrap metal that sits in front of Mercedes Lackey's Arrows trilogy and some wee owls that go by Owlsight/Owlflight/Owlknight. I couldn't resist.
I don't have much non-fiction, it's on two shelves - one for big books and one for small. Books on the same subject are together and arranged by height lol.
One day I'm going to arrange the lot by the colour of their spines, take a photo, and then put them back. :-)
Happy BTT everybody and thanks for visiting!

Ooh you has an organised! Mine used to be in alphabetical order, but now they in rough order of how much I like them/how much I read them. Except for my exceptionally annoying ones that are too tall to be positioned where they should be and have to go on the bottom shelf. And the Virginia Andrews ones that I am slightly ashamed of (but not ashamed enough to throw them out) which are hidden behind a sign. Plus there's the fact that I now have about ten more books than my shelf can hold (not that I'm complaining - I like to think it gives it a scatterbrained-intellectual kind of feel). I've sort of given up lol.
I like being organized too. Your little archer dude sounds cute; you should snap a picture.
I wish I could be oganised! A rainbow bookcase sounds greatthough! Lol
The colour organisation seems to be fantasy for many posters out there!
LOL I have thought of arranging books by color. =) Hope you have a great day.
Sounds like a good system. I love the Oscar Wilde quote, too.
I have to admit, I do love arranging and rearranging books. I, also, enjoy just browsing to remind myself of what I have. I'm not quite as organized when I store my books though.
You'll have to give me lessons in organisation.http://zetor-mogsblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/booking-through-thursday_19.html
I used to have a system, but no more, I just put the book some where on the shelf.www.thesocialfrog.com
Arranging them by color would be cool.
I'd love to put some ornaments on my shelves, too. When I find the right ones..
Man you're organised! That's insane! Mind you, my scrapbooking stuff is just as organised really, so I don't suppose I can talk. :P
I like the archer dude. He is awesome.
