It’s time for me
to share bookcase #2! If you didn’t see bookcase #1 in all of its fantasy
glory, you can check
it out on the blog.

| Actual footage of me staring at my shelves. |
Because I can’t
see my shelves as often as I’d like (because we all know us book collectors
love to just stare and drool over our collections), I took some pics of my
bookshelves. Just so I can remember them later. I thought I’d share these
photos with you guys, as I know the second-best thing to staring at our own
collections is staring at another book collectors’ shelves. ;)
On days that I
don’t have other posts planned, I’ll share photos of a bookcase. I currently
have five-and-a-half-ish bookcases that I’m planning on sharing. This will be
bookcase two. It primarily holds my TBR books, but I also have some other stuff
on it. However, I also realized that I forgot to share what bookcase #1 looks like
all together, so I’ve shared a photo of that as well.

Bookcase #1 (Because I forgot)

Now, the rest of this post will just consist of bookcase #2 photos.
The very top shelf
on this bookcase contains the YA dystopian books I’ve read along with my Hunger Games merchandise. Sorry for the
blur.
Behind the dolls,
you can see what dystopian/sci-fi books I have. These are mostly the “popular”
dystopian books. I put them up here so A) they’d take up less space elsewhere,
and B) they go with The Hunger Games aesthetic. Kind of.
The shelf below the
top one holds TBR books. I’ve got Leigh Bardugo, Dan Wells, Lauren Oliver, and
Kimberly Derting books just waiting for me to read them. Some of these books
have been on this shelf for YEARS. I did just unhaul a lot of books that have been on this shelf for a long time. Before, this shelf was double-stacked.
More blurry
photos, but the next one down has an interesting story. The pile of books on
the left include books that I wanted to take back with me to NYC so I could get
them signed at events. Unfortunately, I couldn’t fit them in my luggage. I
thought about having my mom mail them to me, so that’s why they’re sitting
together on a shelf normally reserved for my TBR books. The pile on the right
is just more TBR books.
Behind those books
on the same shelf are even more TBR books! Again, some of these have been on
this shelf for a very long time. *cough* The
Immortal Rules *cough*
Below that shelf
are more TBR books. There’s Sarah J. Maas, Sabaa Tahir, Leigh Bardugo, and even
Marie Lu titles just chilling on this shelf. Waiting for me to get my act
together and read them.
Yay! More TBR
books! Some of the ones in the middle stack are actually ones I thought about
getting rid of. That’s why they’re stacked all willy-nilly. If I don’t read
these titles in the next two years or so, they’re probably going to go buh-bye.
My last shelf does
not actually contain TBR books! Well, there are a few that are TBR books. Okay,
so basically everything from Messia West’s Hover towards the right-hand side
are all TBR.
Behind that mix,
there are some paranormal YA books I just don’t have room for on my other shelf.
I need like five more bookcases and a giant room to be able to fit all of
these.
Whew, well that’s
bookcase two. How do you organize your TBR shelf? Or do you not even have a TBR
shelf? Let me know in the comments!
I wish I could say bookshelves were that organized. They're not. I usually have to hunt for books that I want to read. I do hope to get a little more shelf space soon so there will be less hunting. Thanks for letting us take a peek at your shelves :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this shelf is pretty unorganized. At least, that's the way it feels to me. It's chaos in my mind.
DeleteLove your pictures! I like looking at pictures of other people's bookshelves because, one, its fun to see how everyone else stores their books, and two, its fun to try and spot books I have read and enjoyed!
ReplyDeleteGreat Post!
Yeah, looking at bookshelves is the best!
