How are your bookshelves organized? By authors name? (first or last?) Title? Subject? Country of publication? Year? etc.
My book shelf has no method of organization right now. Total chaos! I need to organize it because it is becoming difficult to find the book(s) i am looking for. lol

hmm... it is sort of organized on size and whether I like it or not.. so on the left I have older books I'm not likely to read again, and on the right I have nice books.. and then all those books are ordered in size.. sort of as long as it looks pretty

Genre for the most part.
Ben organized our bookshelves before I moved down here and he did it mostly by genre. And then there is a "favorites" bookshelf. And a "Michelle's crappy books" shelf which I haven't gotten around to changing yet...

That's hilarious and possibly slightly insulting if you don't consider them to be crappy...

Some of them are bad, but some of them definitely don't deserve the designation - they are just either young adult or somewhat chick lit-ish.

I organize it according to its size.. and then it depends if the book is lent from the library or if the book is main. And then in the front I have books I haven't read so far.

My books are all arranged alphabetically by author's last name, which makes it easier to find the book that I'm looking for. But I really need to buy another bookcase....

Mine are surprisingly not in any real order, just by similar size/shape I guess, and of course series are together.

I used to have my books organized in alphabetical order by author. Some months ago I re-organized them by size, that allowed me to save space and add a shelf on my bookcase.

My books aren't organized in any way! I stack the books I haven't read in front of the rest though.

My books aren't organized since I have a lot of them at my parent's house, waiting for me to get a bigger place. However, those I have not read yet stand together, that's my only rule so far. I once tried to organize them by the color on the backs but I just thought that was messy because even though it looks kinda cool, books that belong together end up apart...

Most of mine are in boxes right now, but I do have one shelf for my favorites and ones I am planning to read soon. It's not organized in any way other than having series together.

Mine are organized by genre, size, and alphabetical by author. Yeah, it gets a bit complicated but it looks pretty, and that's what's important lol

Mine are organized by size. Also I have tried to put books from same author together. My hardcover books are in different shelf then my paperbacks. And books with I don't like anymore are in the box or in different shelf.

Mine are also organized alphabetically by author. I also have a section for books I'm borrowing from people -- so I don't forget about them, and as a reminder to read them.
