One of my big goals for bloggiesta was to get my books all onto shelves in a workable way. When we moved into our house, many of my books fit onto these three shelves. And yes, they are arranged by color. I straightened these guys out this weekend:

I also had a book shelf in my living room that houses my soon-to-be reviewed titles and my currently checked out library books. There are also a couple of recently purchases titles up there (I need to reread The Hunger Games and Catching Fire before Mockingjay comes out). I reorganized those bad boys this weekend so it matches the scheme on the office shelves.

This weekend, we added another member to our bookshelf family to our bedroom. My husband reads in bed at night, and he puts his books down on the floor. Not usually a problem, except when you have cats who like eating paper. So, in addition to a place for him to store his books, it was the perfect spot to organize my BEA haul.

And there you have it, a look at my home library. Most of the ARCs don’t stick around: they go to my work where I give them away to the kids I work with. So while it looks really full, the first set of shelves is my “real” personal library.

. . . and don’t books look prettier on a shelf in color order? It’s inspiring to me.
