I got an email on Friday from Susan thanking me for my TBR pile series and telling me about her own bookshelf cleanup project. I'm so excited to share with everyone, Susan's success. Using a tip from 7 Organizational Tips to Help Reduce Your To Be Read Pile she took her unmanageable bookshelf and got it under control! That big grin on her face says, "Look at my shelves, they are so totally organized and awesome!" Those are my words not hers.
These are her words:
Hi Keira,
Thanks so much for your spreadsheet idea--it took me 3 agonizing days to do it & re-organize my bookshelf and I'm glad I did. I figured out all my TBR books, realized 1 of my books were gone (I had lent it to my sister) , gave away a bag full to the library of books that just didn't hold my interest any longer & got receipt for tax purposes, relocated some e.g. gave my Harry Potter's to my son. I also noted the signed copies so in the future I don't inadvertently get rid of them or lend those out. Now I actually have some room for my new books.
Thanks & TGIF
Take a closer look at those shelves:

Aren't they awesome? I'm so happy and excited for Susan! She's going to get so much reading done!
I hope her success gets you motivated!

Posts like this make me feel like a porn-addict – except my vice is bookshelf porn. I kid you not, I’ve spent hours on sites people dedicate to their libraries.
I love how neat and streamlined Susan’s shelves look. Those pre-fab bookcases are a bitch to organize, but she did great!
I should show everyone mine… half of my books are organized in drawers under my bed. lol
