My New Bookshelf!

Hey! Guess what? For my birthday/ christmas ( too close for seperate presents) my dad promised me a whole room makeover complete with new furniture, wallpaper you name it! So I was entitled to a new bookshelf!

So take a lookie -


So here's what's left of my books after I packed up anything published before 2008, put them in boxes and stored in the garage. There are a few exceptions but the majority was published in the last two years :)
How do I organise my books?

Top Shelf -



Stand - alone, first in the series and all paperback ( my entire bookshelf only consists of 7 hardbacks) Colour co-ordinated ( mostly). It's also organised by size.
Middle Shelf -


Colour co-ordinated so that the entire shelf is mainly black. The is where all my series' go. As you can see  barely any of them are completed :P As much as I try to complete a series it never happens.
 Bottom Shelf -


This is where all my hardbacks, ARCs, Signed books go. It's also the home to my books that didn't fit on the first two shleves :)

However, that's only part of the bookshelf...



That Blue Box is my Swag Box :)

Badass Bookie xx

  5. I like your system of colour coordination :) My bookshelf is one shelf non-fiction/textbooks, another shelf is fiction and the third shelf is full of English Lit texts and library books. Not fancy at all :P

  8. Admittedly Jealous. I need to get me some shelves very soon. I did buy brackets to put up shelves over 6 months ago...but that's about as far as that went.

    Your bookshelf is very pretty congratulations.

  12. OOh pretty! I love getting new bookshelves! Although my room is pretty full of shelves now. Although my mom did say if or when my sis and niece move out I can turn the extra room into a partial library for the treadmill will likley be coming back up as well. But I still might get at least one wall!

    It is always too fun to get a new bookshelf! I just moved and my books are in serious disarray! It saddens me but it shall not be forever.

  18. I love your bookshelf! All those pretty books. ;-) I asked for a bookcase too for Christmas and mine isn't full yet either. But now, instead of in a teetering tower next to my bed I have a whole ROW of To Be Read!

    Happy Belated Birthday!
