    As a librarian, alphabetical by author is the way to go! 🙂 It’s so much easier to find them when they are alphabetical.

      Yes, this is the decision I came to. I also just like keeping authors together as much as possible.

    i hope you decided to keep Good Night, Mr. Tom. It was a 5-star book for me. I also really enjoyed Love Ruby Lavender - so many funny parts. Read that one soon. I've probably told you before, Krista, but you get all the credit for my adult reading of Middle Grade books! My daughters don't get why I read MG. Maybe someday they will.

    I am more inclined when I organize the family library to go by genre, author (alphabetical), and then if there are different series by the same author I alphabetize by series name and then correct reading order. I know my method seems too much or stressful.
    Happy Reading!

    I have a problem with middle grade. I have a lot, and I was keeping them all in my bedroom…and I have 11 and 12 year old girls. 😂 I finally moved a lot of them to other parts of the house, and started a separate goodreads shelf just for middle grade, because I feel better when I can see the unread books I own that are actually just mine. And just because I have two middle graders, it's no excuse, because I started collecting them long before they were the right age to read them. But I admit it is soooo fun right now!! I’m currently reading The Clackity. My 11 year old is reading The Penderwicks, and my 12 year old is reading book 3 in the Pennyroyal Academy series. Hugs to you!

    If you want to be able to find a book, I wouldn't do the rainbow arrangement. I have a lot of books and I couldn't imagine having to worry about the color of a book spine in order to locate it. (Sometimes, I can barely find things, shelving by author!) I honestly don't know where that fad began -- whether it's something to do with interior design or people who are more into the look rather into practicality. LOL! I sound harsh, but even though it may look "pretty," I just find it so impractical.

    I was surprised you got rid of Hattie Big Sky since it was historical fiction about an orphan. I thought those were two topics you loved. I have that one, and it has great ratings but, I haven't got to it yet either. I don't know why I enjoy these video's so much. It might be because I won't get rid of my unread books unless I have duplicates. I just figure that I picked them up because I was interested so I at least have to give them a try. Also, I don't just get books sent to me so you probably get some that you didn't pick yourself.
