How do you place your books on your shelf?

[Hendmosaad89]

I switched to kindle 4 years ago, so now the few books that I have as paperbacks are placed vertically:)

[Madchal33]

Vertical for uniformity and it's aesthetically pleasing

[avid reader28]

I usually place my books vertically, and by genre " Science, Philosophy, History, Fiction "

[Jolyon Trevelyan]

I place them horizontally.


And i separate the books like this

Novels\Short Stories\Plays\Poems
Biographies and history
Religion and Philosophy
Science books
Other

I moved house so I don't actually have book shelves right now and all my books are in piles on the floor, I have about three stacks of read and two tbr, is really annoying

[Thesaurus Rex]

I place my books under the shelf because I'm a hipster like that.

[Zoe303]

I place my books vertically, from the biggest to the smallest.

[ALynnPowers]

I place my books under the shelf because I'm a hipster like that.

I don't know why, but this made me laugh so hard.

[Wizzy56]

I'm a vertical kind of guy.

[samblack95]

I always place mine both vertically and alphabetically.

[dallen1016]

I place my books vertical. I like for them to ascend in size on my shelf.

[Mjelmer]

Mine are all vertical and organized by author

[TrishaAnn92]

I tried to organize my books horizontally and I just couldn't do it. I had room for all of my books, but it made it a pain to pull the one I wanted out. So mine are organized vertically. Don't have enough room for all of my books but that's okay.

I've always placed my books vertically; never even occurred to me to place novels horizontally. The only books I do place on their sides are picture books (which I keep for the kids I babysit).

I have a shortage of bookshelves in my room, so I tend to have a mix of vertical and horizontal placement. If book are all the same height, I'll place them horizontally because it does actually save space. But I also like to keep my series books in the same place so those tend to need vertical placing (I have a lot of series in a mix of hardcover and paperback so they don't stack nicely horizontally). It all just depends on which books fit where!
