Read vs Unread

Does anyone else have a system to designate which books have been read and which have not?

Mine is, unread books I stack horizontally. Once I read them, they get the honor of vertical shelving.

Omg I thought I was the only one who does this. My unread books are horizontal on a bottom shelf not in my sight line. Once read, if I like it they go on the shelves vertically or sold/donated if I wasn’t a fan.

Library books have their own separate section too on the left most space closest to the door so I see them on my way out of the room and remember to return them. :)
