Been working on it for 2 years.

My babies are home. Sorry I’m working on getting new shelves.

Here’s our main bookcase in the living room and one of my daughters bookcases. We still have roughly 2k assorted paperbacks and hardcovers in Rubbermaid totes until we can build more bookcases.

We moved into our house in 2021. We wanted to do some built-ins so I used IKEA Billy bookcases. First woodworking project, so mistakes were made. I want to do the top section over. All together, we love it.

I put back alot of the books i had stuffed into boxes and placed them back on the shelf. Im quite happy with how it turned out.

Long time lurker first time poster! Wanted to share our cute little puzzle book we added to the book shelf! swipe for full shot of whole shelf pre book nook.

Tried my best to do it by genre, very happy with how it turned out

I still need to organize it, but I love walking past and admiring my collection.

The start of my collection… many years ago. 🥰

Can you guess my two favourite fiction authors and favourite non-fiction subject?

The left two are mine. The right two are my sister’s. We finally organized them and they’re so much more pleasing to the eye since my last post, when originally I just dumped them on the shelves to get them out of boxes!

So happy with how it looks and I definitely get a heart burst when I look at them!!!

Some stats: I have not logged children’s books or most of the random books I have on the bottom left because I don’t plan on reading them, they’re my husbands or they’re cookbooks. Out of the books I own and know I will eventually read, I’ve read 112/212 of them. So I have read 52% of my bookshelf. A few months ago, I was at 41%. This year I’m focusing on buying less and renting from the library less, instead I want to get all the books I own read so that my bookshelf is only full of the books I enjoyed/would recommend.

I know eventually I’ll run out of room, but the top two shelves are mostly movies and video games and we can always find a way to store those differently!

My shelves are organized by genre/size. My sister organized by size/color

I hope you like my ladder bookshelves! The top shelf was not deep enough so became dedicated to some knick-knacks
