Organizational Behavior

Reorging my bookshelves. These (and more) are all tbr. It may be time to go on a book buying ban (or just take lots of time off to just sit and read).

OSChamberlain I‘m about to do a major cleansing of my shelves (as in get rid of books I hate/will never read again) tonight. (edited) 7y

ElizabethAndino Wooowww!!! 7y

AmyG Goid job! I love a person with lots of books. 👍🏻 7y

LaLecture I have a very similar photo from when I moved last year 😅. So far book buying bans haven‘t really worked ^^ but I still wish you all the best with yours :D. 7y

Lcsmcat Put Run high up on that TBR, you won‘t be sorry!

Run

JHSiess I so relate . . . 😳 7y

ErikasMindfulShelf I have way too many books I haven‘t read. It‘s so hard to stop buying books though. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 7y

ErikasMindfulShelf I‘m currently reading your pick for #postlit Unfortunately our new puppy got ahold of the book and bookmark and made a mess. I ordered a new book and bookmark that will arrive on Saturday. Just wanted to let you know. I think I got the exact same book. So sorry. 7y

LeeRHarry I have a book buying ban in place...but then I keep going to the library....😏 7y

PatienceFortitude Says the man who just came home from BEA. 7y

CareBear No problem @irre I wasn‘t attached to that copy. Better the book than the notebook! 7y

ErikasMindfulShelf @CareBear The notebook is safe thank goodness 😅 7y

CareBear @OSChamberlain have fun! 7y

CareBear @PatienceFortitude @LeeRHarry @irre @JHSiess @LaLecture it does help to know we aren‘t alone! 7y

Is it just me or is organizing books the best and worst part about moving?? I‘m so overwhelmed! But I am being strong and have already added a few to the purge pile...

GondorGirl There is something really satisfing about getting everything organized how you want it... but it's SO much work! 7y

BarbaraBB Love it 😍! Good luck! 7y

Okay this keeps coming up, so I want to ask you all: do you keep the books you've read? Which ones? (I.e., all?) And how many TBRs do you typically have hanging around in your possession (physical, not ebooks)? (Pic is of my Book Nook before recent baby edition changed everything 😜) #BookTalk #Question #BookShelf #Books #Organization

Avanders And my own responses: generally, no; only permanent collection books (law, certain text, cookbooks, bibles & studies, children's books, and the handful of fiction that I want to reread/lend out); over 1000 (the pic being a very limited view of only some 😉) (edited) 7y

GypsyKat I keep a majority of the books I've read. The only times I don't are when I didn't really like the book all that much and I know for sure that I won't read it again. Although, every couple of years I do have to reevaluate my stacks and get a bag or two out to donate. 7y

AmandaL I keep it all and I just counted 5 separate TBR piles on various tables in my house... I should probably clean this up. 7y

Avanders That seems to be the norm .. keeping books you've read. 🙃 But then... how do you have room for it all?! I just wouldn't have room if I added the reads to the TBRs 😜. @GypsyKat I love donation time .. even with TBRs I feel so cleansed 😄. @AmandaL I know the feeling .. when the book piles start taking over. 😁 7y

CouronneDhiver I'm a minimalist. I read a lot from Overdrive and own less than 15 print books. When I'm done, I just give them away. 7y

Crystalblu I really don't keep many as I very rarely reread a book. That said I keep ones that were Gifts or that I loved and want to share with friends, or special editions. As for TBRs 30ish 😜 7y

Avanders @Crystalblu you seem to be in the minority with me 😉 Wow @CouronneDhiver ! Not even 15?! I just... love having my books around 😁 I do tend to give away too, though. 🙂 I also love Overdrive .. I use it generally for audio books. ☺️ (edited) 7y

Crystalblu @Avanders I was just thinking, it might be due to living close to Powells City of Books! I could turn in the books I had read for credit to buy more books! Ever since I haven't had to keep Every book I bought ;) 7y

Avanders @Crystalblu Oh that would definitely make a difference! I would even love a Half Price Books in my city... (edited) 7y

elkeOriginal Kitty has the best seat in the house! 7y

Avanders @elkeo indeed she does... 😉 7y

SilversReviews I keep my favorites in case someone else may want to read them. :) I never re-read. My TBR stack is manageable....aound 15, but I have tons of books elsewhere that I say I will get to some day. :) (edited) 7y

Avanders @SilversReviews Never! I sometimes reread, though with the amount of TBRs in the house, sometimes it's hard to justify ? Yep, "someday"... it'll happen for me too! ? 7y

SilversReviews Oh yes. So many books. 7y
