Musing Mondays (Dec.3)
This week’s musing, courtesy of Booking Through Thursday, asks…
How do you organize/store your books? Do you go through them often? Or do you pretty much just shelve them and then leave them alone until you need them?
My answer: I have one shelf that’s just for my Christian books, another shelf for my secular titles, a cupboard of shelves for my Classics, and then a few shelves that have miscellaneous books on them. I don’t go through them very often. Occasionally I feel like reorganizing them, but usually that’s only when I need to make room for new books, or when I’m looking for something that’s buried behind the ones in the front.
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! 
In my writing office I have my book organized almost just like you’ve described. In my other rooms and the garage the books are mostly random with occasional flashes of orderliness.
Esthetically pleasing is my pursuit
Though I like your thinking may have to consider different shelves for like books… hmmm… http://doodlebugsbookshelf.blogspot.com/2012/12/mm-10.html
Here is my answer: http://jaynesbooks.blogspot.com/2012/12/musing-mondays-dec-3.html
Depends on which bookshelf we’re talking about

I never even considered that when I had a bookshelf!

Wow, I wish I would have answered this when I first got my shelf and it wasn’t a mess!! Here’s my MM: http://meganm922.blogspot.com/2012/12/musing-mondaysbookshelf-organization.html

I try to keep mine organized, but it’s really not! — Helene’s World of Books –
I’m not alphabetized but I am organized. Here’s my answer: http://www.kwizgiver.com/2012/12/musing-mondays.html
I used to keep mine organized, but in the last year entropy has started to win. I have…piles and piles. It’s frightening.
Here’s my musing. Thanks for the interesting question
I like to think of my organization as organizational chaos
My thoughts this week: http://anannysliterarymusings.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/monday-memes/
Usually I organize by genre, subject within genre, alphabetical order by authors last name. There’s nothing quite like being able to find the exact book you are looking for and immediately know which book has been borrowed just by where the space is in the shelf. I’m the kind of person who prefers everything to be in its proper place.
I definitely don’t organize well… lol when it comes to everything BUT books, I am so incredibly anal about it. But with books.. I am just lucky if I have room. XD

Nice question. I’m a little obsessive in the way I organize my book, but it works for me. Here’s my Musing Monday.
It depends on what I’m into at the moment.
