YA Bookaholics discussion

How do you organize your books on your bookshelf--both on Goodreads and at home?

My books on my bookcases at home are arranged in alphabetical order via authors last names.

my selves are arranged by my favorites

My bookshelf is currently . . . not arranged because I'm in the middle of rearranging it. Before I started doing that today, I had most of it arranged by genre (like vampires here, dystopia there, and historical fiction/time travel over there, etc.).

I use library books most of the time so I don't have it arranged for long because of new books coming in and out. But I arrange it from the books I will read first and so on. The newest book I bought was Clockwork Princess. I only buy books I know I will read over and over. So when COHF come out I will buy that along with the DA series.
On goodreads I arrange it by genre, release dates, favourites and highly anticipated.

At home, my books are pretty unorganized except for the fact that all the books in the same series are all together. In Goodreads, I sort them into the categories it fits in.

I try to organize my books on Goodreads by genre, favorites, own on kindle, own real copy, and year I read it. I have a shelf named "awesome" where I put books that I look at and say "that book has some really cool stuff in it." Some are probably not my favorites, and some even just have a three star rating. I also have a shelf dedicated to the books I want to reread and review.

Home = favourites order:
Harry Potter
Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Kane Chronicles
Hunger Games
Mortal Instruments
Inkworld
and then all the other books I own in a sorta rainbow order...

At home I organize them by favorite series and then by size so they look good. On goodreads I have a bunch of shelves that I place books in shelves like demons, angels, vampires, hot guy, and need a tissue Of these shelves I only organize my favorites shelf.

At home: organized alphabetically according to authors but on GR: I just manage my shelves randomly

i arrange my books in the series they r in

I have two small areas where I keep books and I split them into two groups...books I have read and books to be read...then I put them in alphabetical order by authors last name. If it is a series and I know the order they go in I then put them in numerical series order. If not they go in order by book title.

I work in the library and author then title order is how we organize it...if it's a series and we know the order they go in numerical order. So it just became second nature for me to do it at home.

I just switched which books went where so right now they are just split into read and to be read...gotta finish rearranging them, it's driving me crazy.

I arrange my books by series and how new they are. If I really like the series then it is in the front with the newer series that aren't finished yet.

i arrange my books as favourite to least and in series. So, one of my shelves is like Rick Riordan, Cassandra Clare, Marie Lu, etc :) Also, it's if it fits in my shelf o-o

Same here!

does anyone else have a problem with not having there series together on there book shelfs I have to have them together and in order I went to a friends home the other day and her books were sitting there and not in any order that I could see and none of the series were together and I think I may be OCD cause I almost put the series together on her shelf and it was driving me crazy the whole time I was there

I try to have them all together, and in the right order.

My bookshelf is now arranged by standalone books in one area then series books in the other area.

mine are are mostly series and I have them together by series and authors

you are not alone! I arrange my books too by series and size, almost everyday I look at my shelf and arrange them (even though they are in order)

At home I arrange my books like a library :In alphabetical order via author's last name
