There are nearly as many ways to arrange books as there are, well, books. The traditional way is to separate fiction from non-fiction, alphabetize the fiction, and arrange the non-fiction by subject, and then alphabetize the authors. And that’s an extremely functional way to do things.
I decided recently, however, that I was ready for a change, so arranged my books according to color. I’m pretty crazy about my books, and I wasn’t sure I could take the disorder, but it turns out I think it’s lovely! And I still know where everything is (mostly) because the pairings are so odd they are memorable- Little House on the Prairie next to a biography of Frieda Kahlo- sure, why not!
