Of book hoarders problems…

So… I’m in a predicament. Last April, I finally got the shelves and layout of my dreams. Nothing grandiose, just Billys from IKEA wrapped around my study.

This was my dream set up. But this color is more expensive.

My shelves after they were assembled.

Back then.. I was thinking “how the heck am I gonna fill these?”. I told myself the books I’ll keep are the ones I really like plus I want them to all be signed copies.

Completed layout plus my older study layout. I had to get creative to fill the spaces.

Well now, I have filled the shelves and have ran out of shelf space. 😆 I know I need one more narrow Billy, but for now, I settled with what I call a baby shelf from Target (which I’ve already filled).

My shelves back when they were kind of filled but not really just yet.

Target shelf with wallpaper backing. Just to make it extra.

I’m probably going to have to thin out my YA selection.

This is my current layout. My Target shelf is now full. I really need another narrow tall Billy.

I've already told myself I need to dial back on book boxes and general book purchases. I already have tons of pre orders coming my way. But I already know that promising myself to pull back from book buying is one of the biggest lies I'm telling myself.
