16 genius and breathtaking means of organizing your books

Sometimes it is normal to judge a book by its coverage.


If your commitment to read is unshakable or, UH,ambitiousThere is a good chance that you have at least some pocket pockets on which it could use an organization. Yes, the first step is to followThe lead of Marie Kondo And say goodbye to each volume that you have held guilty or obligation. No matter what your Snobby literary friend says, you do not have to read this Knausgaard, and people will not think of you if you do not have old classics.

Then, once you are surrounded only by books you like and want to read and reread until the end of time, it will be much easier to organize them in one of the following genius methods.

1
By color (aesthetic approach)

The most popular method among "libraries" (people who execute instagrames devoted to books) is organized by color. This is certainly the most amazing visually visual method, allowing superb scanning of different shades that are ridiculously enjoyable with the eye.

Book the riot Tracy Shapley says that "there are many interesting options in the color organization category", you can even organize them "in a type of pattern in the coding of the color, or in reality actually your books with paper D 'Packing so that different sections are clear. "Once you have got the color coding, however, if you can be difficult to add new books to your collection - so it's better to book a tablet for books in Delay at the party.

2
By genre (the classic approach)

JOHOR,MALAYSIA - JULY 28, 2016: Assorted books written by famous thriller author Stephen King on display in wooden rack.

Perhaps the most popular non-visual method of books does it contain the reader books of the same kind together. It's a genius because the titles can be difficult to remember, but if you can only remember that your book had an elf or not, there is a good bet you find what you are looking for. Your literary fiction goes with another literary fiction, your science fiction near your fantasy, your poetry next to other poets, your biographies next to your memories, etc. Shapley recommends this option: "If you are an equal opportunity reader and that books cover a wealth of genres, you may want to organize them as such."

But, of course, there are complications if the authors cover genres. Would Kurt Vonnegut be a literary fiction or science fiction? Is your old copy ofHarry Potter live in fantasy or children's literature? These questions could make a serious search for the soul, if you have time.

3
By fiction vs nonfiction (the effortless approach)

It can be argued that the easiest way to organize your books is two divided into two groups: fiction and non-fiction. It's genius in its simplicity. Simply separate your fiction from your non-fiction and go from there. Do not hesitate to organize the size, color, of the genre or date of publication.

4
Shaped shelves (the artistic approach)

5
By subject / subject (the "do not judge a book by its coverage" Approach)

Similarly, attractive readers who believe that this is what is inside, it is the method of organizing books according to their subject or subject. This could help you interfere with fiction and fiction, with a historical fiction requiring a place alongside a clinical narrative of the Victorian era. But it's a solid option for those who have a lot of fiction - or for those who want a visual calendar to remind them of the story that interests them.

6
Chronologically (the Ringard approach)

For intensely historical people, organize your books not only by the period of time, but chronologically, by date of publication - or even at the time the author wrote. You must know a lot about the books you have for that. Method, where you risk you confound as a dinner you entertain.

Written forMillions,Hannah Gersen Admits "it's a little a pretentious way to slaughter your collection", but put its shelves so that its shelves can remember the story, and it has the extra bonus to leave a lot of room at the end of its shelf for its latest published acquisitions.

7
Alphabetically (the librarian approach)

For real sticks, there is really only one way to organize books: alphabetically. This could be fun to see all mixed genres and subjects mixed together on the basis of a title (often arbitrary) they have been given. But affore all titles that start with "Le" together, or take advantage of the iTunes organizational approach and start with the second word?

8
By the author (Approach to the Creator)

Nancy Drew Book Series Famous People Who Never Existed

Shelving of your books by the author works particularly well if you have favorite authors that you collect, or at least try to read most of what they have published. Slape alphabetically by name name of the author or group authors of certain genres together for a thematic combined approach.

9
In height and size (the measured approach)

Bookshelf, Pick-Up Lines So Bad They Might Just Work

Another method of visual organization will group them with size and size. This is particularly useful if you treat with shelves (or books!) Different heights; Put books that are similar forms with each other can help maximize your use of your space (may be limited). A fun hack for this category is the aesthetic choice to stack books both vertically and horizontally, to mix your use of the shelf. This thing also has the advantage of allowing you to use more books as labels, which makes them useful and magnificent.

10
By Format (The Hardcover Vs. Paperback Approach)

Tsundoku, which perfectly describes the state of my apartment. It means buying books and letting them pile up unread.

An easy option is to organize your books in format-namely, in case of rigid or pocket cover. This could then be broken down into the first editions your copies used, if you feel chosen. Or in a more general sense, you can organize books based on the condition of their covers. (Although if you always try not to judge a book by covering it, it could be irksome.)

11
By preference (the personal approach)

A simpler approach is simply organizing your books according to the quantity you love them. The books you feel obliged to keep can go on the lower shelf where no one can see them, and you should put your readings taken at the eye level, or on a side table for an easy perule. This method makes it less easy for customers to find particular books, but it will be more personal and more important for you.

12
Autobiographically (theextremelyPersonal approach)

This one could be delicate to understand, but it's a fun exercise if you feel nostalgic. If you have strong memories of reading specific books at specific moments of your life, try to organize your autobiographical titles. If you resolutely think of your British days in college or always remember classics of your childhood, it could be the method for you.

An alternative about this is to group your books based on how they make you feel - funny test collections or satire that always bring a smile to your face should go together and surprising tears have their own section. In this way, you can always catch the book you are in the mood at the atmosphere.

13
As furniture (functional approach)

Poland / Belvins

If you have a ton of extra pounds that do not fit very well on the shelves - or if you are with a scarcity of shelves, try to integrate your books into your daily life as furniture.

As long as they have a robust base, books can make large side tables. The thickest volumes too can also be a great way to raise your office monitor for youDo not twist your neck. And if you like to live life on the edge, you can even try to use your book as a coaster, however not recommended, because the risk of water or heat damage is far too high. (Invest in some cork disasters, instead.)

14
Back (the cheating approach)

Jason Wong / Beldshshshshsh

Another favorite among some online books bloggers, this method proved controversial (or, as controversial as the organization of books that can obtain). This can be most attractive visually to some. Personally? I never understood the practicality of turning all the books so that the spine is assured. Of course, it was built as a way to make every equal book, and as a way to reduce the distraction available in a room. But if you did not want to be distracted by a wonderful story, why even have books in the first place?

15
Dewey Decimal System (Diehard Approach)

Created first by Melvil Dewey in 1876, the DDS attributes subjects to a series of numbers, during class 000 (computer, information, general works) in Class 900 (history and geography), with everything -Absolutely everything-Between. The beauty of this system is that it can always become more precise with the decimal expansion: 822 is the English drama, while 822.3 is the elizabethain period (1558-1625), while 822.33 works specifically by William Shakespeare, for example. Yeah, as I said,all.

16
If you have read them or not (the best approach)

boost your confidence
Refuge

Have a shelf (or, let's be real, three to four shelves) dedicated to the books you have not had the chance to read that you can not only help you remember what you need to wait with impatience, it will keep you honest. If you notice that there is a handle of titles that you never seem to move to read, it's probably time to let them go and clarify the space of the new books to get into your life. Once you have finished a book, however, put it on an organized shelf but you see fit. And for more ways to refuse, fly these 65 genius ways to organize your life .
