Romance TBR shelves 🥰🫶✨

Did some organization of my backlist romance tbr today and even made some more shelf space 🙌

What books should I add to this newfound bookshelf space? 📚

#bookstagram #homelibrary #libraryroom #bookhaul #romancebooks

6/23 Edited to

I recently took some time to reorganize my romance TBR (to-be-read) shelves and it was such a rewarding experience. Having a well-organized space not only makes finding your next read easier but also motivates you to dive into your collection more often. One of the best parts of this process was rediscovering some hidden gems from authors like Ali Hazelwood, Emily Henry, and Ana Huang, whose books have been highly recommended in the romance community. For anyone looking to refresh their shelves, creating dedicated spaces for different subgenres or authors can be really helpful. For example, I created mini shelves for contemporary romance, historical romance, and rom-coms separately. Also, labeling sections or even using color-coded bookmarks can add a fun, personalized touch. Since I freed up some space, I’m on the lookout to add new titles. From my research and community suggestions, here are some books and authors that keep popping up: "Swear on This Life" by Renée Carlino, "Love, Actually" by Ali Hazelwood, "The Game Changer" by Alisha Rai, and "Pen Pal" by Dork Diaries’ author Rachel Renée Russell. These books have captivating storylines and strong, relatable characters, perfect for enriching any romance collection. If you’re also a romance book lover, I highly recommend engaging with online book communities like #bookstagram and #romancebooks on social media. These forums are treasure troves for discovering new releases, book hauls, and creative shelf organization ideas. Plus, sharing your own to-be-read pile and getting recommendations from fellow readers can turn into a delightful part of your reading journey. What I love most about organizing my TBR shelves is that it prompts me to reflect on which stories truly excite me. It’s not just about owning books but actively curating a collection that inspires and comforts. If you have any favorite romance books or authors that you think should be on my shelf, please share! There’s something magical about connecting over stories of love and hope, especially when you have a beautiful shelf waiting to be filled.

I wrote down all my books I haven't read, leaving out duplicates, sequels to books I haven't read yet, and holiday books (Christmas) because I had 2 of those but feel like those shouldn't really be random. Turns out I have 60 books with fantasy being the largest category at 19 books!
