Moving Day

by Clare Langley-Hawthorne

We are moving this week into our new home in Denver so my apologies but no real blog post this week as I am up to my ears in boxes. I will be thinking of my fellow TKZer Nancy as I unpack the hoard of books that travel with me (unlike her I seem incapable of biting the bullet and undertaking a much overdue cull!). 

Before I do this, though, I have a question - how do you organize your books? 
Do you have them in alphabetical order or by genre (or both)? 
Do you shelve hardbacks and paperbacks separately or keep an author's books together (a challenge I find on most book shelves)?
Or do you adopt a 'put it anywhere it fits' approach? 

I've tried most approaches only to end up with the final 'wherever it will fit' option... So any advice for an untidy, somewhat irrational and not very organized book lover like myself?
