The Pie Shelf Used To Be My Grandmothers - Tumblr Posts

So for me I have three shelves because when I get to many, then I donate my books to local schools and libraries, with thrift stores as my last resort. But I feel like I have it separated very nicely.

Top shelf is hard bound original fairy tales, personal books (scrap books, journals, sketch books, old yearbooks) and finally childhood story books that have sentimental value.

Second Shelf is my misc shelf, Textbooks, Ancient Mythology, single Short stories, Anthologies and then what comics I buy singles of. Behind those books I have my collections of Sheet Music, Dime store Novels and Cookbooks.

Final Shelf I have all my series, if I have it in a series of 2+ books this is where it goes, sorted from left to right ascending to descending.

For the other shelves I sort them by height in each specific genre so the shelves all have the tallest books on one side than the smallest books in the middle while growing back to Tallest of another genre back to the other side.

I put the books I'm currently reading on the very top for easy access. And yes I do double stack my bookshelves. One in front one in back, they are pretty wide shelves.
