Books Everywhere: a Dorm Room Adventure

I'm a bookworm. I have a book-lover for a roommate. We both knew we'd have to get creative when it came to book storage. We did - but there are still books everywhere. Ready to see where we're keeping our collections?

Up first is my small bookshelf over my desk.

As you can see, on top are Percy Jackson and the Olympians and my Throne of Glass collection (which Heir of Fire and hopefully a hardcover of Throne of Glass will be added to soon). On the bottom, I have four stacks of books. On the left in the back, are The Lunar Chronicles and Don't Touch. On the right in the back are three books I want to read imminently. Fire & Flood is there as an ARC because I haven't read it yet, but I won't be reviewing it, since Hannah already did that. The front left tack are some of my favorites that I want to display.

I use two storage cubes to contain more of my books. The top one holds all of the ARCs I have here at school plus a few extra favorites. The bottom cube is almost full with two stacks of random books. I have no organizational system here, which stresses me out sometimes.

Then I have two storage bins that are pretty full. I still have some room in the bottom one, thank goodness (especially since I'll be bringing books back with me after Thanksgiving and Christmas). Just like with my second storage cube, there's really no rhyme or reason to how I organized these. However, the second bin has my classics and nonfiction books, along with some extras.

Now for Elise's bookcase!

As you can see, she practiced more restraint in the amount of books she brought with her. However, I think she's starting to run out of space. I think we're going to have find more room for Elise's books soon!

Okay, so if you're currently attending college or have since graduated, how did you store your books? Did you run out of room? Or what are you planning to do with your book collection when you go to college?
