As for hardcovers, I rarely buy them except by my favourite authors. I find keeping them can be another problem too due to their size.<BR/><BR/>Bethany - I think re-selling our least favourite books is a great idea. These days, I add them onto my BookMooch list for anyone to mooch them.<BR/><BR/>Shana - I think I've only one or two books for review at this moment. I dare not ask for more as I fear I might not get to them, haha. <BR/><BR/>Trish - I think there are about five or six boxes (huge ones), haha. <BR/><BR/>Naida - We need a library to accommodate those books, LOL.<BR/><BR/>Matt - I wish I've some time for re-reading! Even though if I liked a book, I don't think I'll re-read it as I'd rather use that time to read my other TBR books. However, I'll store them at a place where they're easily accessed, hehe.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-2847102066144551102009-02-23T02:42:00.000+08:002009-02-23T02:42:00.000+08:00I shelf my books by author's last name in alphabet...I shelf my books by author's last name in alphabetical order.

All my "read and keep-forever" books are in one set of shelves, sorted by nonfiction subjects, fiction by author, and children's fiction-random because the kid keeps going through them. All the books I haven't read yet are in the bedroom in an overflowing bedside-table shelf, two stacks on the floor, and two stacks on the dresser. All the books I've read and plan to give away/donate are in a box in my room and another stack in the living room against the wall. Books all over the house!
