First, thank you those who left helpful suggestions for rearranging my shelves. I really appreciate it 💙 I’m liking this new setup and can’t wait to add decor to it all.
Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions for how to go about this. Very much appreciated!
I did post this to Instagram first but here is the tour for those who haven’t seen it yet:
Part 1: my mini and middle grade books’ new home
To free up space I moved most of my smaller paperbacks (horizontal) and my middle grade books (vertical) to the top of the shelf alongside my precious Yu-Gi-Oh! collection.
Part 2: all kinds of fantasy and paranormal abound
I like the new arrangement for this shelf because it mostly features books from my favorite genre – fantasy! Each shelf has its own theme:
Part 3: the books and authors of my heart
Whenever I would rearrange my shelves one section always remained constant. I had a special place for my most favorite of books and authors. This time around I (mostly) changed it up:
Many of these books/authors I attribute as what made me the reader I am today.
Part 4: my cherished manga collection
This shelf is now officially my manga shelf and it is beautiful with its satisfying, uniform design.

This was the game plan ever since I started seriously collecting manga. I did move around series to accommodate recent volumes I’ve received. My heart is so happy!
Part 5: new books tbr
The last part of the tour you’ve seen before and it continues to grow. I like to keep all of my new, unread books on top of my shelves until they’re read (eventually, I promise!).
I should only have to do a few minor shuffling of books for the rest of the year. A fourth shelf isn’t needed yet. There’s still plenty of non-shelf space to accommodate books I can use if necessary.
Have a nice day and enjoy your week!
AS ALWAYS, HAPPY READING!!!
