How to Organize your Books

One of the results of the covid-19 descent in 2020 for me was a surreal desire for books. It wasn't just about the words or takeouts. I loved the colors, cute book covers, the style of writing, and particular authors (wink) though these are not standard measurements for a good book.

Although I wasn't so much of a reader then, I generally admired the sight of lots of books especially the ones neatly arranged on shelves, and the creativity in the organization system. This had a way of luring me between the covers.

Books also need special handlings like jewelry in boxes, clothes in wardrobes, and butter away from sunlight (right?)

Books need a place too, this doesn't have to be head racking or time-consuming. Organizing your books makes it easier for you to pick and read. It is also a scrutable sign of how much you value knowledge.
