Book Project - Day 3 - What Do You Do With Your Books?

My books are starting to form piles around the house again. This means it's time for a clean up, and shuffling. Some of them will be relegated to the obscurity of the piles and boxes under my bed. Some get to stay on either of my 2 shelves

In a perfect world I would have a library, with lots of windows and a big couch I can nap on. Although not having one hasn't stopped me from getting more books. Most of them indeed occupy the space under my bed. I don't really mind except it's a hassle to look for a particular book when I don't know exactly where they are. Other than that I have the 2 shelves I had mentioned previously, I have some books in my closet and a couple of boxes of books I had lent to my mom at my parents' house.

That sounds excessive. And maybe it is. That will be a good topic of discussion for later. My question of the day is on the matter of storage that also facilitates easy access. So boxes in the basement would not fit the bill; shelves will. But what else can you do other than turn every wall in your house into a wall of books?



Although this one looks intriguing.



Actually I have a bookcase that I bought from the Habitat for Humanity store. I just need to repaint it. Then I can set to work rearranging my collection.

I love when people share pictures of their book arrangements online. I also love looking at bookshelf designs. A lot of them are clever rather than economic (in terms of how many books it can hold), still, I enjoy looking.
