Ooh, I have None of the Above on my kindle waiting. I still haven't read Gone Girl...sometimes i enjoy thrillers and sometimes I just want romances or young adult novels with low stakes (not to say all of them have low stakes. But dystopias aside, most are not life-and-death)
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Mom just left me her copy of The Girl on the Train. My bedtime reading is non-existent at the moment because I keep falling asleep.

Because books.
My mom gave me her copy, too! And I'm the same with bedtime reading right now.

So do y'all shelve Young Adult books together or by category? I've been putting them with children's books, but the children's book shelves are overloaded, and books like Code Name Verity seem more comfortable with the historical fiction. But then there are Madeleine L'Engle's books, which are all interlinked, though some are SF, some are non-SF young adult and some are adult.
I'm so confused. Also, I barely have the spoons to do the stuff I have to do, and suddenly rearranging the bookshelves seems like a fine idea. What are you thinking, brain?

All fiction by author, if I have the room. Non-fiction by category.

It would be easier if I had a long run of identical bookshelves, like a library. What I have is different bookshelves with different shelf heights.

Uh, I shelve by colour.

And a little bit by publisher.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All my books are currently in boxes or stacks on the floor. If they are on shelves it is pure happenstance where they might be.
Well, not quite all, but the vast majority. I can't pretend to have a system in place, even a theoretical system.

I used to shelve by science-fiction-y (including young adult), non fiction, children's, and then an unorganized pile of romance and thriller. These days they are all electronic, so I can sort them however (i admit, I dislike, especially on the kindle. I can't find a way I like)
