How Should I Arrange My Bookshelf ?

I’ve had this bookshelf for over a year now. I got it from Walmart and the shelves are uneven. I see different people who arrange their books so nice with a cute set up. Any ideas on how I can do that? Or should I just get a new bookshelf and go from there?

I have such a process for new books I buy lol 🩷📚 When I bring them home I stamp, catalog, and organize them on my shelf! This helps me keep track of everything and keeps my shelf super organized. I arrange my books on my shelves by genre, then author, then series/title. I also love my personaliz

Easy bookshelf idea.
How neat is this idea for your books! I saw this on IG and thought it was such a great idea. Plus, you can move it around from room to room with ease. I know you can find these carts on Amazon and even Michael’s! 🥰 #bookshelfideas #books #Lemon8Diary #Lemon8 #amazon #amazonfinds2024 #

Sooo I have officially ran out of space for all of my books on my current book shelf. I have resorted to using my nightstand as an impromptu shelf. No lie, I kind of like how it looks. Should I get another bookshelf? If so, which ones do you all recommend. I would love to know! 💗 #bookstorage #
