Getting your bookshelf in order can be an enjoyable and fulfilling project! Here are some suggestions to kick things off:

1. Alphabetical by author: This is a straightforward method where you arrange books based on the author’s last name.
   • I know, I know, what fun is that?! If you have leftover room after organizing everything, by all means, throw in those fun accessories! But for our purposes, focus on fitting all the books in first. These great A-Z are great if you want functional accessories.
2. Genre or category: Grouping books by genre or category, such as fiction, non-fiction, mystery, or science fiction, can help you quickly find books based on your interests.
   • Categorize books Separate your books by cover type (hard or soft), genre, or size. We used a combination of these—each shelf containing a specific genre.
3. Color: Arranging books by color can create a visually appealing display, but it may make it harder to find specific books.
4. Size: Organizing books by size can create a neat and uniform appearance, but it may not be practical if you have books of varying sizes.
5. you can save the most space by stacking your books vertically rather than horizontally. Separate books by size and stack similarly sized books together. 
6. Chronological: Organizing books by the date they were published can be useful for tracking the development of an author’s work or a genre over time.
7. Personalized system: You can create your own system based on your preferences, such as grouping books by theme, series, or how much you enjoyed reading them.
