Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.
Question:
Do you rearrange and move books around on the shelves, move books on your bookshelves to another area after a certain amount of time, or do you just leave them the way they are?
My response:
I currently only have one bookshelf so I don't have much room when it comes to rearranging books. Because I only have one bookshelf most of my books are in boxes in my apartment hallway. Which means once I read a book on my shelf, if I didn't like it or don't want it on my shelves anymore I will swap the book with a book in the boxes. Or just put it in the box and leave the space on the shelf. Overall though, the books stay on my shelves unless I take them all off to dust. I cannot wait for one day to be able so many bookshelves so I can rearrange all my books the way I want to. I do not see myself rearranging much once I get a set of really nice bookshelves. I know a lot of bookish people are really into constantly changing the order and I think that the only time I would be taking all the books off the shelves would be to clean the shelves.
I also have to keep my books in boxes and bins. Living in a small space is awful for a bookworm.
ReplyDeleteUgh I agree. I am so proud of my collection so I hate not being able to show it off!
DeleteI have bookcase dreams too. One day! For now I do the storage bin thing too and I typically will trade books I've finished at either paperbackswap or the local used bookstore.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea! I'm always meaning to round up the books I don't want anymore and bring them to a local bookstore.
DeleteI don't move books until my main bookshelf get filled. Stop by my blog for the details if you like.
ReplyDeleteENJOY your weekend, and Happy Hopping!!

You seem so organized! That's awesome!
DeleteI used to move my books around my apt because I had no bookshelf's when I moved in my own apt. Until I bought some bookshelf's I started to arranged and organized my books with the help of my mom. Happy Blog Hopping and have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteOh that's awesome! I'll check out your page now!
DeleteWishing you plenty more bookshelves in the future!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You as well!!
DeleteI hope you are able to create the library of your dreams someday. :-) I do not re-arrange my books very often. Only when I cull or am adding new books in. Even when it comes to adding new books, it takes me a while to actually add them in. I usually just stuff them somewhere else until I get the time to spend organizing. I probably should do that sometime soon . . .
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week!
Aw that's sweet thank you! I hope you have the library of your dreams one day too!! Hopefully sooner than later. And I do that too! I don't buy many books so when I do I make myself read them before putting them on the shelf. Which means I have stacks of books all around my apartment.
DeleteWe live in a small city apartment, so after receiving my Kindle five years ago, I have bought mostly ebboks and I prefer eARCs from Netgalley and Edelweiss. I only have one largish bookcase and one small one, so I only buy books I absolutely adored in hardcover. :)
ReplyDeleteI am 100% in sync with all of your answer. I love my kindle for that reason! And the only books I buy are ones I know I will love or I have already read and loved. One day when I have the shelf space maybe I can go back to my crazy book buying ways, but until then I've got to be careful.
DeleteSomeday we will both have library rooms! I just know it! :)
ReplyDeleteYesss! You're welcome to borrow from my future library room anytime! :D
