I have a full wall of bookshelves now because my collection has grown to well over 500 books at this point, but I AM STRUGGLING. No matter how I organize them I feel like they're not right? I have tried color coding, and hated it because my series get mixed up, but I also feel like that is the only way the sprayed edge books look good. How have you all organized your shelves?? My only ideas are by genre, author, or "vibe" and I would love some creative ideas! Thank you in advance!!

Hey fellow book lovers!! I’ve been meaning to get into sci-fi for a while, but I’m not unsure where to start. What are some good introductions to the genre? Thanks so much!!

thought i'd mention that there's a cool book auction happening on from Sept 26-28th and authors are selling over 400 books, bookish-art, arcs, and signed special editions of books! It's called bookbindsforacause on instagram! (also all the proceeds will be donated three organizations in Gaza!!)

some authors featured that i'm looking forward to 👀:

• rebecca ross
• sarah adams
• rf kuang (Katabasis special edition!!)
• olivie blake

I’m sure we could all name a huge list of books that haven’t been done justice by their movie or tv show adaptations, but what about books where the adaptation is actually better than the source material?

This might be a controversial opinion, but for me this is the case for the Silo tv show, based on the Wool series by Hugh Howey. The books are some of my absolute favorites, but the show makes some really great changes to the plot and characters that makes for an even more suspenseful and interesting story, especially in the first season.

What do you guys think? Any other examples of this in your eyes?

I am a little obsessed with first lines in literature. Do you guys have any favourite opening lines in books? Either because they immediately drew you in or because they were particularly clever?

One of my favourites is from A Darker Shade of Magic: "Kell wore a very peculiar coat. It had neither one side, which would be conventional, nor two, which would be unexpected, but several, which was, of course, impossible."

Or, a very famous one, from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: "The story so far: in the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
