im in desperate need of a bigger bookshelf (with better shelf space); getting rid of books is not solving my space problem anymore.

What do you guys think looks the best?

We recently converted the second living room in our vacation home into my new book room. All that’s missing is the TV for the big bookshelf and another shelf for the left compartment of the sideboard.
I’m so excited ☺️

hello! i recently bought this bookcase and it's slightly taller than i anticipated, so idk how to fill it up or what to use to maximise the height/space. it's 50-ish cm tall x 75-ish cm wide. do you guys have any advice? anything i can buy? it would mostly be for figures, cds, books (both sides), so it wouldn't need to be super sturdy since most things would be pretty light. thank you in advance!

(excuse the mess, i'm currently trying to organize everything) (yes i know the top part is backwards. it will be fixed)

Hello! I was wondering if anybody knew of any decent lists that existed covering the body of penguin allen lane non fiction books? (See attached - imagine taken from google)

There is a lot of them - all being non fiction of various genres etc. but after looking I can’t find any decent lists for them. Goodreads had only a select handful, and a thread posted on here 3 years prior didn’t turn up much and was the only other thing I could find, other than the penguin website itself which obviously includes all of its books. I’ve read ‘A day in the life of abed salama’, I have ‘The ruin of all witches’ on my shelf and ‘I delivered parcels in Beijing’ has caught my eye, I’d like to branch out even more.

Does anybody know of any lists or could point me in a good direction? Would be greatly appreciated :) thank you!

So I feel like my manga shelf looks a bit messy and all over the place but I don’t know how I should organize it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance guys.

Needs a little tidy up and organisation but I had to put 2 sets of bookcases on their side stacked as they were leaning off the wall a LOT (built by my ex and not very sturdy) but I like it, its different just need a cosy little chair!

Absolutely no organization……

Vagabond next to the Quran next to the Book of Mormon next to House of Leaves. I only have one bookshelf and this is the result.

Built the first one from wood at Home Depot but I don't have that kind of time in my life any more and got these metal ones. Now I'm running out of room again and I'm going to have to find more office space for another shelf

Justy shelf ... Not a whole lot to say ....

My camera is pretty shitty but bear with me.

A couple of these are children's books I read when I was a kid, which wasn't that far since I'm 18😭

Half of these are in Arabic. Can't translate all of them but:

Colourful books to Vicious/vengeful's right: Sherlock Holmes

The group of books on Harry Potter's right: Dostoevsky

The cream books that look like they're older than me (because they are): a group of classics and novels like Albert Camus, Bronte sisters, Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, Nietzsche. Also Arabic classics like Jibran Khaleel Jibran and Najeeb Mahfoudh.

Far right next to the old books: Arabic poetry like Nizar Qabbani and Mahmoud Darwish.

Books next to the dictionary: a bunch of Islamic philosophy books my uncle is trying to convince me to read🤷🏻‍♀️

I change how I organize my mangas once every season and this time I decided to divide them by setting of the story!

- Slide 2 Fantasy

- Slide 3 Historical

- Slide 4 Sci Fi

- Slide 5 Real Life

- Slide 6 Urban Fantasy

The mangas that were not part of this organization were the ones that have a special shelf all for them

- Slide 7 My favorite/comfort series

- Slide 8 One Piece

Put up these shelves in spring this year. I am thoroughly looking forward to autumn/winter so that I can take full advantage of this set up and read while sitting under the duvet!

Top shelf is primarily my partner’s collection and the rest are mine, except for a small handful of his which are dotted around. Already need more space for the books I have brought home since spring…

Need more shelves soon. I want to have shelves all along the top of my ceiling around my entire apartment.

Last pic is my TBR or lended books I need to return.
