The Bookcase Spectacular Giveaway!

GUYS. You may or may not have seen but I got new bookcases. And not just any bookcases — real deal, solid wood, BUILT-IN CUSTOM BOOKCASES. THEY TAKE UP THE WHOLE WALL. This alone deserves a celebration. I’ve had quite a few books that I’ve been meaning to giveaway so I thought this was the perfect occasion to do so!

Shane’s friend Ryan from RPM Custom Homes built the bookcase and he did such a FANTASTIC job!

FULL OF BOOKS!

FULL OF BOOKS!

Before we get to the giveaway, I’m going to show you guys these beautiful babies and show you how I organize my shelves… And believe me. It’s crazy.

AdultsideFirst up, we’ve got the “Adult Side”. My bookcase is made up of MOSTLY YA, but I still have mounds and mounds of cozy mystery mass market paperbacks that I stocked up on back when I was… you know, actually reading cozy mysteries. Some are series, some are only the first in the series, some are series I haven’t even started yet… Then we’ve got the In Death series by J.D. Robb which I think I’ve made it nine books in? And the ones I own are the ones I still need to read. (I sold the ones I did read back to the used bookstore.)
Then I have a shelf full of ALL my Janet Evanovich books since I’m a big Stephanie Plum fan! I’ve got the whole series in PB (ONLY in PB) and some of her other books too, which I have yet to read.
Then I have the super sad shelf full of the rest of my adult books… Some from BEA, some previously purchased but… There’s not much there haha! YA has truly taken over.
LeftSideYANext up, from left to right, is my YA collection! On the top is my FAVORITE series (actually, there are some adult books there on the top left… Heather Wells, The Spellman Files, and then the various other adult books I couldn’t fit on the left hand side) and then my YA favs on the top right!
The next shelf down are the YA sci-fi/paranormal/dystopian hardcovers I’ve read (most of which are signed), then my FAV SERIES EVER (again, most of which are signed. Not CInder & Scarlet yet). Then we go to TBRs/hardcover a shelf down and then my TBRs paperback a shelf down from that!
Think I’m going overboard with the organization…?

YArightsideNext up is the other side… More of my favorite series (for some reason I needed to keep the vampire books together even though it made shelving more complicated), down from there are my contemporary reads (which apparently seem to be REALLY lacking!), and then a shelf full of nice decorations πŸ™‚
Then I’ve got my ARC side! Older ARCs that I’ve gotten from other people, YA Book Exchange, and rescued from thrift stores because they don’t belong there… Then my shelf of ARCs from BEA I still need to read. Below that, ARCs I’ve received for The Selective Collective, from Macmillan, and other books I want to read soon. Then below that, books I’ve borrowed from other people (seriously, don’t loan me books. You see my shelf now. You’ll never get them back because I don’t have time to read them haha) and the stack of books I’m GIVING AWAY!!!!

nonbooksLastly — and the least exciting — is all of my “non-reading books” all the way to the right. I’ve got my yearbooks, binders, old school stuff, and some photo albums on the top. Book related movies below it (all of my movies wouldn’t fit in the bookcase so I chose to display the book adaptations! HA!), my TV show DVDs beneath that (because you always need to display Friends! And that’s Shane’s mom’s DVDs of Downton Abbey. SERIOUSLY. DON’T LOAN THINGS TO ME), and just some more decorations on the bottom.

WELL. Those are my shelves! This is actually the first time I’ve really had a visual explanation of how I organize them and I’m actually kind of proud of them haha! I’m sure you all think I’m crazy now because my method of organization is RIDICULOUSLY specific. Oh, and in case you didn’t notice… Within those specific groups, they’re also organized by color. My bookcase has to be PRETTY, okay?

Okay, okay, I know you’re all excited for the giveaway so enough about me. Let’s give some books away! I have quite a hefty stack to give away — some old, some new, some hardback, some paperback — so I’ll pick three winners (all at the same time) and the first person will get first pick, then the second, then the third. I’m sure you’re curious what’s up for grabs, so here you go!

    Gosh is that the sequel to The Testing?? *^* i loved that book! and if you don’t mind me asking, how did you get your book blog to be popular, so popular that you can get loads of ARCs from publishers? πŸ˜€

  2. Amanda

    I am SO jealous of your bookcase. That is exactly what I want, and I don’t think your organization method is crazy at all. Your new bookcase is beautiful!!

  3. Kristi

    Okay, one, super jealous of your shelves, they are gorgeous! Two, your organization is probably the best I’ve ever seen. Three, the books you own… You have wonderful taste. Four, the giveaway books are awesome! Five, the swag is so cool! Six, is it weird that I might want the swag just as much (maybe even a teensy bit more) as I want the books? And, finally, six, thank you so much for the giveaway!

  4. Elisa

    Those are GORGEOUS! Totally love them and am super jealous. I especially that books aren’t dripping off them like my crazy things are. πŸ™‚
    I am like you – don’t loan things to me…I have a stack of those books on my desk, I can’t let them get in the shelf or they might never come back out… πŸ™‚

  5. Rebecca @ The Library Canary

    Your bookshelves are so pretty!!! I’m so jealous. I want built-in bookshelves in my future home someday. And I love your organization method. It’s perfect. I am also crazy neurotic about organizing my books, although I don’t have as much space as you and half the time my books are in stacks all over my apartment.

  6. Karin

    That is one lovely bookcase. Nice and organized too! Mine is split his & hers and only “his” shelves are organized; mine are clumped by what fits on what shelf. πŸ˜€

  7. Sarah (@EscapingSarah)

    Your new bookcase is so glorious! I wish I had the space for a whole wall of books… perhaps someday! Right now, I have to double shelve my books (sad) and even put some in drawers (even more sad). I love seeing other readers’ bookshelves (I’m such a sucker for bookshelf tours, etc.), so I loved this post.

  8. Tara

    This may inspire me to spring for built-ins for my own house. I’ve got a huge wall in my living room that needs some bookish love. They look great, and I’m mad jealous!

  9. Estelle

    I hate you for your bookshelves.

    I am going to get a t-shirt that says that.

    Honestly though, gorgeous work. πŸ™‚ Love the way you organize. OMG SO MANY BOOKS. hahaha.

  10. Stormy

    I LOVE your organization system. It’s crazy specific, maybe, but. . . *glances at bookcase* so is mine, trust me. Do you ever just sit & stare at your beautiful built-in bookcases? Because I definitely would.

  11. Angie

    THOSE ARE THE PRETTIEST BOOKCASES I HAVE EVER SEEN AND MY JEALOUSY IS SO MUCH. I dream of a wall of shelves like that.

    Your organization system is better than mine haha. Mine is basically non-existent

    And awwwwwww I love the J.D.Robb books. It’s the one long standing series I consistently keep up with and buy all the books on release day and usually finish the same day. I’ve never read the Stephanie Plum books though I’ve always meant to.

    I’m so jealous of all your pretties!
