How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?) Used to be when I had enough shelves, they were all alphabetical by author. Now they're a bit helter skelter. In the living room, all the fiction hardbacks are lined up by by height so shelves look neat. The nice looking books all find a home in the living room. All homeschool and educational books organized by subject in foyer bookshelves and kitchen bookshelves. In the bedrooms where it doesn't matter so much, majority are by author. My bedside stand where my current tbr pile is they are sitting on, in, around, in front of - no specific order.
