Which was your favorite way to organize your bookshelf? Also, yes I know there's more than 10 ;) bonus for y'all!
I organized by genres
Unread: in order of purchase
Read: in order of date that I finished it. :)
I organise them by how much I like them , top shelf has my favourites working down to the bottom shelves of ones I like least . In each shelf they are aligned by height
When i tried alphabetizing my title i went by series title for the ones i had series for so Maze Runner books would still be together, etc.
CZcamsFanatic That's a great way to do it!! Thanks for sharing 📚❤️
smart
I might actually try this..
That’s a great idea!
Even though rainbow bookshelf satisfies my OCD, it also bugs it so much. Like how can you separate a series😭
omg yes I really feel you😣
Exactly!😂That is exactly why i am having such a hard tme with my bookshelves right now!😅
Ikr. It’s literally such a struggle
@@JoelleGrace Im going to organize by genre, so I can keep all the series together and most of the time the authors together .
@@allibunn9537 yeah I think that is a good idea! I am not very good at arranging by genre though so it would probably be a little scrambled!😂 i love the idea though! Maybe I should practice!🤪
i can't imagine how long this must've taken, Grace! Props for the tenacity and the creativity--love how your shelves are looking right now
Caught Between Pages Thanks so much Vendi!! Quarantine got me doing these crazy projects hahaha :) hope you're doing well!
My shelves are such a mess right now! I need to redo them! I like having full Author shelves myself so I have been wanting to do something like that I think!
The Bookish Mom now is the time!❤️📚 Organizing by author is great, that's how most bookstores do it 👏🏼
I do a combination. I organize by genre (and separate my TBR), and then I organize by size within the genre. It works for me and lets me keep series and often authors together :).
Anneli World That sounds like it would look really lovely 📚❤️ combining methods is the best!!
Honestly I’m so chaotic , I organize my fiction books that are series on one shelf , finished series at the top and they go down that way. On another shelf if have all of my horror books which are organized by author , another shelf is classics , stand alone fiction. Also organized by author , then my non fiction is organized by color.😂
Art with Rstardoodles You combined a bunch of methods!📚💗 Honestly whatever works best for u is how u should do it. I loveee having my books organized by read/unread and then by genre, so I have sinced changed my shelves back to that since this video :)
I organise my standalones by color and have a separate shelf for series. I still group same coloured series together. I have a visual memory, so it works for me. Also I try to group them by height. I really like the look of my shelf but sometimes I wish I had a physical tbr. It kind of gets overwhelming to pick my next read 😅
Vienna Books So cool, you combined a lot of methods!:) I bet your shelf is beautiful. And yeah, tbr shelves can be helpful when picking out your next read!
It makes me si happy when I see someone with The selection idkw lol
Brooke Poling aw yes I love that series!💙 so fun
I love the look of organizing by color but I'd never know where my book are. lol. I think personally alphabetizing by author or genre or a mixture of the two is going to be how I do it.
Yeah, that's my problem with color too. I know some people say they are very visual and think of a book's color with the title! Author and genre are a great way to organize if not :) that's how i do it!
I have my shelf chronologicaly but I’m having them in order of when I read the books! 😂😂
Ohhh I like that! I didn't think of organizing that way. Cool!
mine are like that right now but im so tempted to change it even though i did it yesterday!!
Me too! I LOVE IT :)
I hate having the pages facing out in the bookshelf but that idea of using it to selecting the book you're reading next in a random way....... That I love! 😂
My favourite way of organising my bookshelves is just at random. This way whenever I get new books I don't need to spend a lot of time re
-organizing the shelves, I just put them wherever they fit :D
Hahah it’s a love-hate method!😂📚📖 and random organizing is a beautiful way to do it - simple and easy. Hope you are enjoying your current read and have a wonderful day ❤️❤️
Love this. Reading a lot more during this quarantine!! (After lysol wiping all my books lol). I organize entirely by SIZE. I like to see that slant!!
Kylie Klunder Thank you Kylie!! Heck yes for the slant. Enjoy reading more, I definitely am too 😝👏🏼📚
Thank you so much for these tips Grace, your self is the cutest. You are the best bookstagrama ever❤️❤️❤️✨xx!
Harry Thomas Pictures Thanks so much Harry!!
Thanks for this video! I like the order by publisher house idea, and order chronologically by story time period.
I currently separate my books in a few ways. First I separate my fiction from non fiction (because non fiction only takes a small shelf). Then I separate from read and unread books. Under read books it is random, and under unread it is mostly random but separated by standalones and series. I think I might try the publisher house idea!
The Mae Cave im so glad you liked some of the ideas! :):) I love hearing about how different people organize their shelves. Happy organizing!!📚💗
I implement a lot of these methods for my shelf. I separate my TBR and read books. My TBR shelf is organized by color. I separate my read books by age group and genre. Since I can fit two rows of books on my shelf, I put my contemporary YA books in the front row, organized by color. And I have a shelf dedicated to my favorite series.
Lydia Walker That sounds super organized, I bet your shelves are beautiful! I didn't think to include organizing by age category, I put all my childrens books on top of the shelf but kind of see that as a separate thing. Very cool!!
Hi, I'm from Italy. The situation here is so hard (for the virus). Hope you are fine. :) I love your channel ❤️💚
araniel 00 Hello! I'm so sorry, I hope you and your family stay safe 💗💗 thank you so much!
i organize mine by color! This was super fun!!
starbornreader Color looks so beautiful:) 📚 thank you!!
omg tysm!!!! this was so helpful and creative 😭💗
I'm so glad! :) thank you for your kind words, wishing you a wonderful night :)
I'm getting new bookshelves today and this is very helpful cause I'm so lost on how to organize them
Emma Wittie oh that’s cool, I’m so glad! ❤️📚 I hope you found a way to organize that works for you :)
Thanks you so much for this,now I have the perfect way to keep my bookshelf organised😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Of course, I'm so glad! :)
I’ve wanted to reorganize my shelves to make them look nicer for a long time (right now I have them by author last name and read/unread), but I have 5 shelves full and I’d absolutely rip my hair out having to shift them all. Every time I move houses I cry 😂😂😂
Awesome video! I really like organizing my bookshelf by genre I think it’s just easier for me.
Mlove squad Thank you!! I am totally with you, genre is 100 percent the best way for me ❤️📚
Love these kind of videos
Thanks so much! ☺️ happy holidays :)
I have a combination or a different kind of arrangement. My series are together, my stand-alones are together. They are arranged by size & all the authors are together. If I do a bookshelf tour in the future, I can show a clearer picture. 😄📚
By the way, I saw a Nicholas Sparks book (Dear John). Though it isn't my favorite, I am still happy to see a book by him since he's one of the authors that revived my reading interest. 📚😊
Ohh that's cool, series and stand alones! It's so interesting seeing how different people do it.
And yes! The only book I've read by him is A Walk to Remember, I loved it. I can't wait to read more of his stuff :)
One tip for sorting your books faster: use a quick sort algorithm. All books starting with a M or lower on one side and all bigger then M the other side. Repeat with either heap, now choose E and S as pivots. Repeat until you have a lot of heaps, but in alphabetical order. Put back on shelves and give pat on owns back.
Thank you for this video ❤ I'm from Italy, and the situation isn't the best but you make me smile and you and your books are beautiful 😍❤ I'll try to organize my bookshelf in some of these ways; at the moment it's by goodness :)
Piera Antonia La Rocca my heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you so much for such a kind comment!!💗💗 I hope you have fun with organizing your shelves 📚💕
@@happyreading9298 thank you so much ❤
I SEE LUNAR CHRONICLES, AND MATCHED, AND THE SELECTION SERIES!!!!LOVE THOSE BOOKS❤️❤️❤️
Omg yes!! Both are such amazing series :):)
For me, I'm doing a mix of many different styles. There is an indie/author i follow or gifted me a book section. Then books i really want to read and under that all the books i want to get to. Thanks for the suggestions!
I always think doing a mix is best :) then you can really personalize it! Hope you are having a good day, thanks for watching!
My shelves (though a mess) are done by height mainly, but I keep series and authors together. If I have like two different heights in a series or author, I'll do the stacking/tetris thing with the books that are a part of the less (?) seen height!
That sounds like a good way to do it! 📚 I stack books horizontally to make more space on my shelf in general 👍🏼☺️ hope you enjoyed the video!
A checkers shelves look interesting! Ooh I have to try to organize the bookshelves secretly - to choose and read a secret random book sounds very appealing!
I mainly organize my bookshelves by author - not alphabetically though, all the works by a particular author are just having their own cozy place :) But all of my all-time favorites are sitting on one shelf! And sometimes I place my books in kind of a pattern: something like - this book looks good together with that one, and so on... :D And also, yes, the unread books are usually separated from the ones I've already read :)
I'm happy that you and your family are safe!! Everything is good with me and my family too, thank you for caring so much! 💗
Great video, Grace! 🙂 Please, stay safe!
Cam Asahi I hope you have fun trying out a secret bookshelf!! And oh cool, sounds like a mix of a whole bunch of methods! I'm so glad to hear you and your family are safe and healthy and I hope it stays that way. Thank you so much!❤️❤️📚📚
I did try a secret bookshelf! Haha I knew that I might very possibly end up with something I wanted to read for a long time but haven't for some unknown to me reason picked it up yet! In the Light of What We See by Sarah Painter. The cover did catch my eye when I saw it in the Bookstore, the plot I thought is very interesting once I read the book synopsis. I'm happy with what my Bookcase, thanks to you, had chosen for me! :D
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️📚📚
Really helpful video! Thanks
glad to hear that. Of course! :)
Thank uuuuu 4 this video the black & white chequered idea helped a looottt thank uuuuuu Grace & i dont reAlly have that much black & white books but I doo have quittee a few black & brown books so ill do 1 checkuered shelf then rainbow wa
Y 4 da rest soz 4 da rant but thanx this was fierce helpful😁💛😁
Respect for how long this must have taken. Beautiful job! New sub!
This is such a cool idea for a video!
Aw thanks so much! It was so fun to try out all the different ways :)
I like to do mine by genre then series, then I determine what to put next to eachother by what is similar to a certain series. Like I would put all the Rick Riordan books next to an author that has a similar voice and pace, as well as story taste. That way if someone read the Rick Riordan series and want to read something similar they could look to where those are shelved and find something of close taste :D
It’s 12 pm and I’m getting the urge to rearrange my bookshelves oops! Maybe I’ll film it and shared it LOL 😆 you totally got yourself a nuke subscriber!
Pygmy Puff Reads Hahaha omg me 😂😂 relatable. I hope you have fun re organizing your bookshelves and awe thank you so much!!:)
I just got a bookshelf for Christmas and I don't have enough books to actually organise my bookshelf. However, once I get enough books I wanna organise them the following way:
→ height/weight: light books on top and heavy ones on the bottom
→ series/collection: I mostly read classics and I collect them in different collections, therefore this would work very good.
→ alphabetically: author and within that by title
This does mean, that I would split books written by the same author, but I keep collections together
Sounds like a wonderful plan to organize everything! ❤️📚 bet it will look great :)
I do mine by genre. Easier for me to find and keep series together. I don’t care if looks pleasing. I just need to find what I’m looking for
I like the idea of turning your unread books backward! I might try that (though that will be most of my books 😅).
Yes it’s a cool way to pick your next read!! And aw same, half of my shelf is unread books 😂 what can ya do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 📚💗
@@happyreading9298 I reorganized my shelves that way after watching a couple more of your videos. 😅 I actually really like it! And it will hopefully make for a good CZcams video. 😉 Oh yes, I watched your bookshelf tour video. But you still have read many more books than I have. XD I am curious though... Have you read The Daughter of Smoke and Bone series yet? It's my all-time favorite series and I would highly recommend it. 😉 Love your videos!
@@shannonaardsma4782 awe! I’m so glad you like it, I hope you have fun with your new TBR :) and I have not read the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series yet! Laini Taylor’s writing style is beautiful, I can’t wait to read more of her stuff. Thank you for the rec, I’ll have to move it higher up the TBR list 📚💗
@@happyreading9298 I think you'll enjoy it! 😁 Have a wonderful day! (:
Currently my bookshelves are very random but I think when I get more book shelves I'm going to be organising by colour also have a series shelf so I don't need to split up series.
That’s a wonderful idea! I never though of a series shelf. I hope you have a good time organizing 📚💜
I organize by content I guess I have kids so kids and middle grade are at the bottom middle is YA and top shelves for adult and then each content grade is alphabetical by author is good practice for the little ones
If you do a rainbowshelf.... How do you categorize the books that have multiple colors in the cover/spine?
For example...
I have a book and it's yellow and purple but it's about 50% yellow and 50% purple... So i also can't be like.. "oh its more yellow then purple so I will put it in the yellow category"
Or I have I book with 2 different colors with red on the top and blue on the bottom... But the red is like 30% of the cover en the blue 70%....wil you put it with red because it's the top color or with blue because it's bigger percentage of the cover/spine
Or I have a book with more then 2 colors and the colors kind of flow/mix together, so there is not one color that stands out.
I have a lot of this kind of books and I'm not sure what to do with them..
Ps. Sorry for my English... It's not my first language 😅
Yeah, I had that issue with rainbow bookshelf too. I decided to try the books with multiple colors on the spine in different spots and honestly just put them wherever they looked good! And if a book is 70 percent orange and 30 percent green, I put it with the orange. If it’s half and half, I tried both places and picked whichever looked better! Also, some colors are more common in books that others, so the rare colors that had multiple colors would go with whichever color needed more books.
Set multiple colored spine books to the side and organize your other books first. Add the books with multiple colors in at the end wherever they look best. You can also put them in their own section like you would books with grey, white or black spines. Hope that helps!
Hi
Loved your video.
Could you please tell the name of the music at 1:30.
😊🙏
My bookcases have different height shelves so I first organise by height. Then I group series together, then keep authors together (not alphabetised just together), then I put them on my shelves with my faves easiest to reach. Since I started reading manga and graphic novels I do keep them together now too. I'm thinking of separating my non-fiction and fiction books but haven't figured out how that's going to work yet, it's just awkward with the heights being important. I am planning to buy a bigger bookcase soon so maybe I'll do it then. The funny thing is when I write it down it sounds more complicated than it is. But I've always organised my shelves like this so I just basically do it without thinking about it, automatically. Also? Why do people own all the books on their TBRs? Like 50 or more books they haven't read? I just write down the books I want to read and buy them one at a time or maybe a couple at a time, read them and then buy the next ones.
Sounds like a wonderful system! There’s so many different ways to do it. And hm, probably could say the same thing for owning books you’ve already read - once you’ve read them and if you aren’t going to reread them, why keep those? Because it’s a collection and makes you excited to read! :) everyone has a different system that works for them!
@@happyreading9298 Fair enough. To each their own :D
I want to do it by colour SO BAD but what about the books that are in series ? I can’t physically separate them
Omg I understand that struggle!! It's hard to decide hahaha
The song, While organizing Rainbow, the song . . .
pLUmbElLa?!
may I suggest organising your shelf by vibes.
The books I like the least are always on the bottom shelves
You seem like a nice person, I would've appreciated though if you would be more focused in what you say when you introduce another way to to organize your shelf.
"another method to organize your shelf is ... - this is my personal favourite..."
instead you say "so the next way - I love it so much, I will change my shelf back to that when I'm done with this video ...." makes the viewer a little unpatiently. You could add all these informations *after* you named the method. To me this video would seem a little more organized and I wouldn't have skipped parts.
You have a great voice, and I'm just a random person on the internet, but perhaps you can make use of my feedback.
Hahaha thank you for the feedback but I do enjoy making personal, conversational videos and less strict videos - however, it's always good to keep rants to a minimum so I appreciate the constructive criticism!
I have always wanted to do a rainbow shelf but I always have to have series together so it’s a struggle for me to try rainbow
Sparklight 0 yes i totally understand that! It was hard for me to separate my series too. You can always test it out and see how u like it :)
HappyReading
Omg Hi! Hope you are doing well
I just got a new bookshelf and my books are a mess right now. So I’ll probably give rainbow a try!
@@sparklight0964 thank u, hope you are doing well too! And awesome, sounds like a fun project :)
i don't think i could ever do mine by alphabetical order... i need my series together!!
I found it the rainbow way so beautiful but I would hate it that series are not together it would drive me crazy 😳
Gr8
I would like to organize my books by genre but the problem is I only read fantasy books 😂🤣
Unicorn Girl hahaha😂 fantasy is my fav!😍 dang, how do you currently have them organized? :)
HappyReading i have them currently organized by read and unread
Unicorn Girl that’s a great way to organize. I love having my unread books separate so that it’s easier to pick what to read next! :)
I love alphabetical and size. It doesn't help I have a book that is R in author but its a small book
Those are great methods! 📚 and awe dang, I hope you find a system that works for you :)
Mine are alphabetical by authors last name. I can confirm it takes forever
He confirms!! I can imagine it would take a while 📚 that’s a great way to organize though!
@Tonya D I just added 7 books and it took almost 45 minutes
@Tonya D I've been thinking about it forever but cant think of a way I like!
You remind me of Laura Moreno
Step 1: get bookshelf
After watching this .
Please 🙏
Marry me .!
Lol I am creepy lol 😂
There's too much wasted space with those bookshelves. Can't you add at least an extra shelf? I prefer buying the 7ft high DVD/CD Storage units at IKEA. Only 6 inches deep and perfect for paperbacks and most hardcovers.
Color organisation is the worst way to organise your books! I wouldn't find anything!
Hahaha you right you right, it's not practical at all! It looks pretty though hahah and it was fun to try out! Definitely went back to organizing by genre after :)
@@happyreading9298 not only that! Colour organisation separates book of the same series and by the same author! I like to keep them together!
