I took me 2 days just to get that room in an ordered state, I just kind of bundled them back on the shelf as I was tired - I am planning a redecoration and new furniture in there including a nice big book case along one wall - when I do you can come and sort them out for me Hoopy

Oh and books are upside down as a friend stayed over and used them to wedge the door shut so my cat didn't attack him in his sleep he isn't into books so just stuffed em back on the shelf the next day

YAY!

I love organising bookshelves almost as much as I enjoy reading them That sounds like an awesome bookshelf, you'll have to post new pictures once you get it!

[Tansy]

I shall do - be a few months off yet as have to clear the room to get a new carpet down - oh joy

Just noticed my tbr pile is reducing quickly - books not put away on 3rd shelf, though Deadhouse gates is in the bedroom and The Name of the wind is sitting here on my desk. Not sure which to read next now Abercrombie is done

The younger guy in the photo on the shelf looks like Sylar

[Tansy]

He's too nice to be Sylar - i think the pic is just a bit blurry

Bottom shelf is all my general SF hardbacks,plus the huge encyclopedia on the left. Middle shelf is my A C Clarke collection,hard back first eds and paperbacks,and above that are all my sf paperbacks plus the affore mentioned Pratchet books.

I thought I'd take an updated shot of my lowest shelf:



Most of those at the front are in my to-read pile, barring Gemmell, McCaffrey, Matheson, and King.

I was suprised by just how much I'd lost but it's a nice starting point, give me 5 years and I'll likely have books two deep, stacked on top and the cuboard doors taken off to get at the shelves underneath .

I know what you mean.

Your shelves aren't that different to mine. I just happen to have some more shelves (42 in total) with all shelves full. I probably have approx 1400 books at the moment there with 2,500 maximum capacity. I have 20 different subcategories and within each it is alphabetically ordered.

I'll post pics in the next couple of weeks.

cheers...

Haven't been about for a while so I'm trying to catch up with posts but I had to add my collection to this thread! I have a fair amount but like some have already said, I just can't stop buying books! Anyway, here's my lot!

[Reiver]

And more....

[Tansy]

Woah - so orderly

I want to swap collections

[Leisha]

Blimey! That's a lovely collection there.

[HoopyFrood]

I spy a Dark Tower series the same as mine (same editions, same ones in paperback and hardback). But no Wizard and Glass? Or am I just overlooking it?

Oh, but a fine collection indeed.

[Reiver]

There is a Wizard and Glass but it's a small hardback. Went on ebay to get the hardback but what the seller didn't specify was that it was a book club edition! Kept it anyway because I had to read it!
