Beyond Their Cover — Judging Books by Colour and Height

After getting home from the library last week, I made a beeline for my closet to put away the newest additions to my reading stack. A few minutes later, I realized I’d been rearranging everything so the books sat in descending order by height — is this normal?

The book I’m currently reading usually ends up wherever I’m reading it, but it officially lives on my bedside table. The rest go on a shelf in my closet.

In Belle’s room, we organize books by colour. Everywhere else it’s by height.

And never alphabetically.

Here are some questions for your Thursday morning:

• Where do you keep your “current” read — always in the same place, or wherever it lands?
• Do you organize books by colour, genre, author, height…or pure happenstance?
