✨ how to aesthetically organize bookshelves ✨

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

The fact that you took the books off your shelves and put them off for each category is DEDICATION

[@nikkikerr4626]

I never thought of organizing my bookshelves like a book store. I love the way that looks.

[@books-on-a-wire]

I need to get more baskets lol. I use baskets for my mass markets and novellas. I've been flipping them backwards for years as I read them. You have my favorite shelves, they are goals lol.

[@samanthaaiello]

We love categories. Maybe not traditional genres, but we do love categories. I also love to decorate in the theme of each category/genre. For small books that are in a series (think Series of Unfortunate Events), we stack those. Outside of that, it’s totally an aesthetic arrangement. For our kids’ books, it’s exactly like you said. Bottom shelves belong to the kiddos. Within that, we try to keep chapter books together, picture books, larger bedtime-esque books, etc., in their own spots. Within the chapter books, we do have more division: graphic novels, Greek mythology (yes, we have enough to need it’s own section lol), educational/non-fiction, and any large collection (Minecraft, Dav Pilkey books, HP) together.

Not only does she roast our shelves but she teaches us how to have better shelves🥰

Love the ivy!

Yes! I never understood why people hate on non traditional or aesthetic organization. "Real readers know their shelves" I had mine backwards for years and in the end all my friends thought it was fun because it was a game 🙄 but lol. They'd pic a book at random and make me guess the book. Not only do I know where my books are, I know how the pages look so... why not be backwards 🤷‍♀️. They're different now but I did convert a few people.

[@TheAvocadoToastBudget]

Yesssss!!! I’m so excited for this video! I was just staring at my bookshelves yesterday trying to figure out how to organize them in a way that brings me joy 🥳👏🏼

[@RivetingReads]

I’m so impressed how you did an organization demonstration for each 😍

[@happily_ever_april]

mine are read books backwards and I love the muted tones. along with a lot of plants lol

[@ericab1302]

Realising I've done all of these at one point or another... I know backwards books are controversial, but it really helped me get through my tbr/get excited about books that have been on my shelves for a while - you get so used to seeing things that you don't really notice them anymore so 'hiding' them was refreshing. Had a TBR section and I'd randomly pick from it if I was having a hard time deciding and it was really fun 😊

[@AbiofPellinor]

*so* many good ideas!!! I'm starting to run out of space on my read shelves and stacking them vertically is something I've done out of desperation (when I had a lot less shelves) rather than for aesthetics. I might have to have a play around with this on my shelves now!

[@GwendolynKensinger]

I love your shelves. They always looks so pretty.

[@JesseOnYoutube]

your look is GIVING as always

[@dgs788]

I organize by genre and then by height per shelf

[@asparagusisreading]

Okay last comment I promise. I currently have my main bookshelf organized as read/unread rainbow. The only spines visible to me are the books that I have not read. They are in rainbow because I noticed I remember and find my books easier that way. My wall shelf above my closet is favorites rainbow, which is books that I read and LOVE in a rainbow with the book's spine or cover visible to me. It's nice looking over and being like "wow, look at that rainbow and oh my goodness what a good book."

[@somberhoney]

I don't think I could change up the way I organize my books, I like how they are split up too much. I have five categories: my four favorite authors get their own section, then I have stand alones, series where I own all the books, series where I don't own all the books, and finally everything else. Within the everything else I break it down further into stuff like poetry, nonfiction, classics, books on writing, etc. but they all go on the same shelves with each other.

[@amandabrow]

Baskets as a genius idea

[@caseysacco]

This was so helpful, definitely saving it for future reference!

[@asparagusisreading]

1:05 I would like to put in a special request for a BOTM reading vlog

[@AutumnJen]

I love your shelves. ❤

[@Kristin_35]

Oh boy did I need this video lol , thank you 💙

[@livslibrary]

Going to be organizing my shelves pretty soon & I’m excited but also still don’t know how I want to organize. 😂

[@silvermoonanime]

What are those bat figurines you showed off when discussing knick knacks and Funkos?

[@hardbackhoarder]

They are mystery Pop Mart Yoki figures!

[@bookafterthoughts966]

My main organization is by colour and size. Then I have all my read books turned around so only my unread books are visible

[@thesunflowersimmer]

So weird but cool...for my needs my rainbow shelves ended up being white into red to orange to yellow to pink to purple to blue to green to brown to black. The way my spines were it just worked and you wouldn't be able to picture that looking good but I promise it was beautiful

[@hardbackhoarder]

i bet it looked like a sunrise!!!!!

[@niknakpaddywack121]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning happy Thursday morning and I loved your channel and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you and you are amazing Supporter

[@ottoismy1dog]

Too many Books OR not enough Book Shelves ?? Who else has a Shelf Of Shame ?? (is it just me?) Is reading from the bottom shelf, like drinking from the bottom shelf ? 😂 I have questions 😂

[@kylerbooks]

I am definitely a height, series than genre organization... so basically no organization lol

[@asparagusisreading]

"If you are Funko person, you have a LOT of Funkos." WHY ARE YOU SO LOUD??

[@ZeeZeeDreaming]

My shelves will never be very organised!

[@asparagusisreading]

IS THAT DEMI LOVATO IN THE BEGINNING?

[@hardbackhoarder]

Absolutely 😌
