    Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

      if it helps out, i have rainbow shelves but i keep series together by hiding the rest of the books behind the first book, which i have cover-facing if that makes sense?? and like if the first book of a series is red for example i put them all in red

    Honestly, your shelf looks great. You did it really well. Personally, I separate mine by category, genre, and section. Categories include things like my classics, my poetry, my plays, my prose, and my anthologies. Genre speaks for itself but my sections are a mix of sub-genres and other. And by that I mean I have a portal-fantasy section, a dark academia section, a retellings section and a favourites section. I want to put in a dystopian/post-apocalyptic section because it turns out I really like that setting but I don't know how to incorporate it on my shelf. I'll work it out though.

    I definitely organize by genres! I usually pick my next reads based on what genre I feel like reading and the picking is just easier and it looks more...organized? 😂 also I could NEVER separate series or authors! I have a long fantasy shelf where I keep high adult fantasy on the left and YA/urban on the right...thrillers and horror are kept together..I have a english/american classics small shelf and another one for international (italian, french, russian mostly) classics...and finally I have a shelf for "mixed" books that don't make it to the other genres gangs 😂

    Tip concerning Rainbow Shelfs and series: pick your favoured coloured book of the series and have it facing outward in its colour section. Hide the rest of the series behind it. I know this is not a strategy for everyone but it works for me. Most of my series have matching coloured spines anyway though.

    I organise my books first by genre then it depends 🤷‍♀️
    For example, I organise my classics by century that way I can have all my modern classics on one side. I also organise my non-fiction by topic/theme (art, history, feminism, racism, self-help...). It helps to keep track of what I want/need to read on more. While I tend to organise my Fantasy by author/series...

    I orginise my shelves roughly by genre (i don't have enough books, so sc-ifi, fantasy, dystopian go together and anything that could happen irl, ex contemporary, thriller, go together) and then my author within genre so, all books by the same author are mostly together. i
    My classics really trip me up bc i have a couple of books from a couple of editions and they are prettier together but then all the other classics look messy lol (also, say "classics" loosely, any old book is a classic in my shelves)
