The Book Shuffle

So I got it into my head yesterday to finally do something about the piles and piles of books on my floor. I had no idea what I could do, but I thought maybe I could shuffle things around a bit. And of course I thought maybe you'd enjoy seeing the process.

I've shared my crazy TBR shelf many times, but here, once again is a shot of what I was dealing with. On the floor is four quite large stacks. I'd forgotten what was even in there! I wanted to get them out again to see what needed immediate reading attention!

Then I categorized the books into these stacks:

Books I really wanted to read ASAP:
IMAG0607

Books I really wanted to read, but not as desperately: 
IMAG0608

Books I've already read that needed to be shelved downstairs:
IMAG0609

Books from Utah authors that I've not managed to get to yet:
 IMAG0610

Books that have been sent to me to review that have totally gotten lost in the shuffle:
IMAG0614

And random books that didn't have a specific stack to be in:
 IMAG0612

So I took the already read pile, the random pile and the books I want to read, but not right away pile, and carried them downstairs to the big shelves'. where I plopped them on the tables and haven't dealt with them yet. I'm worried about actually shelving the 'want to read someday' pile because then I'll forget about them! Anyway, I wonder if I'll find room on the shelves down there for books I've shuffled to that spot! Maybe I'll tackle that one today.

The books I want to read soon, the Utah author books and the forgotten review books, I just stacked back on my shelf in front of the long forgotten TBR books that are always in the back! Oh, and there is still one small floor stack.

So, does it look any better? Now, I wonder how long it will take for me to accumulate another massive floor pile!

Oh, and as much as I love my TBR shelf and all the treasures it has in store for me, I really hate this corner of my room. It needs something. A plant maybe? Some sort of picture on the wall? Gah, if I'm going to keep taking pictures of it to share, I need to spiff up my boring corner!! I really wish I had room for a lazy boy chair too, but no such luck.
