If you can afford and have space buy a few big book shelves that reach the ceilling and then make it an actual library like in Beauty and The Beast maybe even have a ladder!

Afraid. Almost all those books are going to end up being in the dump (they are not made of good quality materials). This is pure consumerism. If you have a tablet/phone/laptop is better to exchange social media time for online book reading. Stop damaging the earth just to presume. 🙏🏼

@@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHYso you btch a lot and comfort people about your personal insecurities in other words? There’s a word for that type of person. I don’t like those. Anyway, I’ve found it’s the content that affects the value I get from the book. Doesn’t matter how many times I read it. If it struck a chord, I’ve got it all the first time. If it didn’t, I can read it multiple times and keep forgetting major parts. And I think your funds are your business and you should stop projecting like people don’t know they spent money like obviously it’s intentional lol so pointing it out is not a big deal

I had over 2000 books once, before I had to sell most of them when I moved house. Father-in-law built shelves for me. Fiction shelved by author and non-fiction cataloged in a database by the Dewey system. You can take the girl out of the local library staff but you can't take the library out of the girl.

[@nikkis7375]

I understand why people want this for sure! I’m not afraid to say I love stuff and collecting stuff haha but with books I mostly read on my phone bc of my disability makes it nearly impossible to hold physical copies of books, so the only physical books I keep are ones I haven’t read yet (probably won’t be able to anyway) and books that are my favorites that I want to see in my space ❤

[@doctorwholover1012]

Protip for big book collections with lots of series; have a shelf or 2 just for the 1st book in every series, with a post it (or nonadhesive note to preserve the paper) tucked in the first page that says which crate in the attic/under the bed/etc you've stashed the rest! Helps with freeing up space for individual books which you need priority access to, and i usually do it once a series surpasses 3 books, so i have a trilogy shelf, but as soon as the 4th book hits, i upgrade it to this system 😅

[@AnnEast85]

I don’t see a problem! 🥰

[@xxLonniExx]

The problem is that those books are living a hard live, lol. They need good shelves.

[@ASTR0TALKSPHILOSOPHY]

you're paying thousands of dollars for high quality shelves, not even some millionaires could afford that. Consumerists, I invest 96% of my money.

[@eldersong]

Shelves dear, I mostly use Ikea 'Billy' bookcases, affordable, moveable and able to absorb books by the metre. Additional adjustable shelves to so all those paperbacks can be put on 4 shelves on the bottom rather than 3. Finally you can take them with you if you're renting. NB: I passed the 1000 mark a few years ago and have about 1200 now. Have fun xx

[@BrandonGates]

I easily have 1000 books, but most are from my dad. He moved a couple hours away and I stayed in the house I grew up in. He had also inherited collections from his two brothers, my uncles, one moved to Australia and the other to Florida from NY. I never really realized how many classics and just great writers filled my shelves up until the past few years. I would come back from a book store with some new books and would find copies already existed on one of my many book shelves.
