PINK BOOKS!! I definitely had to look through a lot of black and white and blue books to find these, and at first I thought I was only going to find one, but then I found four! I definitely paid more than I usually would for a couple of these, but it was worth it.

I think these would look so adorable in a pink-themed bedroom or used as a pop of color in a primarily black and white decorating scheme. I always think of bright pink as being very modern and stylish.

I wonder if people would be interested in stacks featuring kid-friendly books? A couple of these are from the young adult section, but I'll bet actual children's hardback books in certain colors would be really hard to find. 🤔 Pink children's books would be so pretty in a little girl's room, though (I'm thinking of my own pink-obsessed daughter here lol).

I was super excited to add this listing for a rainbow 🌈 book bundle a couple weeks ago! I would seriously love to just make bundles of rainbow books all day long! Some of the colors are easier to find than others. I've just started collecting, and so far it looks like red and blue are pretty common and the others are not so much. Black and white are common, too, but I didn't include them in the rainbow.

And there's one color that I really had to hunt for before I found any of it. Any guesses as to what that was?

I sourced new books today, and here's a peek at some of my favorites! I'm discovering that, although I said pink was the hardest to find, orange seems to be just as difficult or even more so. I'm pretty excited about that bright orange one on the bottom because it's seriously only the second bright orange I've found. The one on top of it looked so orange when I picked it out, but next to the bright orange it looks.... Reddish orange? I'm regretting that one a smidge because I really don't know what category to put it in. I guess it would be great in a 12-stack rainbow, though. 🌈 Somebody buy a rainbow stack already!! 😆

Ironically, about when I decided to sell books arranged by color, I also decided to change up my arranged-by-color bookcase. I was really torn about this because I REALLY loved the bookcase organized by color. I mean, it was beautiful and made me happy for a long time. However. I think it did keep us from seeing what we really had and prevented us from easily purging things we didn't need. For example, if we had two field guides for North American plants, but one was blue and one was green, we might not realize we had two. (And if you want to keep two North American plants field guides this is 100% ok. It's just an example).

So with a bit of sadness (sounds dramatic, but it's true), I took everything off the shelves and reorganized it loosely by topic..... And I actually really like it! I got rid of several things in the process, all of my favorite books pertaining to my interests and hobbies are in one section, and seeing the change just made me happy over and over again every time I saw it. I also think this works a little better for the room if we want to have more mellow accent colors and let our blue blue couch take center stage.

Would I still recommend organizing a bookcase by color? Absolutely yes! Try it out at least once. You can always go back if it doesn't work for you.

The first picture is the bookcase after I rearranged it, and then the last two are the arranged-by-color bookcase. Which do you like better?

FIRST SALE since reopening!! This definitely 100% made my day, and I took care to make sure that this special customer's package will look beautiful when she opens it. Even if you're just buying something for yourself, I want it to feel like a gift. 🎁😍

Until a few weeks ago, I didn't even know this was a thing, but now I do and I actually really like the way it looks. 😍 They're called unbound books or naked books. I can't believe I can take a really damaged book with a torn cover that would normally get thrown away and turn it into something beautiful that people want to decorate with! I get why it's appealing though because it has a really rustic, shabby chic look and also conveys a minimalist vibe because of the neutral, earthy colors.

I'm considering..... I said I wouldn't.... But I'm *considering* doing personalized spines. For now, though, I just have these plain ones listed. I'm trying to decide how far into this I want to dive. 😄 Help.
