As you can see, my small bookshelf was stuffed with books; there was absolutely no space to fit in more. And each shelf here has already 3 rows of books. So I decided to do a little cleaning so that I have a nice, clean bookshelf this year.
These are all the books I own, some 150 I think. I sorted the books and made a separate stack for the ones I haven’t read.
Here it is-my TBR pile…
So on the top shelf went all the books I have read and the bottom shelf contains all the books from the TBR pile.
And see how much space I got now. I think I can cram in 40 more books easily.
On another note, here is the cat J got from London. It is battery operated and it walks and meows all the same.
So that’s it for now, what’s the situation of your book shelves?

Book-Shelved 
Haha! That’s cool! We’ve just redecorated our living room with floor to ceiling book-shelves… unfortunately they’re full already! Think we need to go on a book-fast!

All my bookshelves are full, even our storage room has no more space for my pile! LOL. I think I’ve to do some housekeeping one day and clear away those books which no longer interest me… I might put them on my BookMooch inventory for other readers to mooch or as giveaways. 😉

Well done on the cleaning! I really should do something about the stacks of books I have! I saw your comment about being unable to get a copy of Middlesex on Beth Fish Reads. To start off my tidying I can send you my copy if you like? It really is a great book!

I’m not sure why looking at other people’s book piles makes me feel so much better, but it does 😛

I need more bookshelves.
I notice that you’ve got Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. It’s a brilliant book, just brilliant.

I always need more bookshelves. If only my TBR pile was as small as yours. I think I own thousands of books. I need to start reading and stop buying!

Melody thats a good idea. I would have considered mooching too if international shipping wasn’t almost the price of one book.
Jackie: Very generous and sweet offer, mailed you 🙂
