This week’s question is suggested by Kat:
Shelves? You think I have shelves for my books? Ha! Double ha! I don't suggest you have as many books as I do. And it's not like I'm particularly proud of my cardboard chaos. I do have a semi-system in place. I separate into many categories: 2009 novels, 2009 picture books, picture books (previous years), novels (YA and middle, previous years), christian books, adult books, and one-and-a-half boxes of early readers. Oh, and board books. I've got two or three boxes of board books. Every book that I receive for review is entered into a database and then enters one of my boxes; each side of the room has different categorized-boxes. So I generally know which section is which, but the location of exact titles can be tricky. It's a system that is reliant partly on memory and partly on luck.I recently got new bookshelves for my room, and I’m just loving them. Spent the afternoon putting up my books and sharing it on my blog . One of my friends asked a question and I thought it would be a great BTT question. So from Tina & myself, we’d like to know “How do you arrange your books on your shelves? Is it by author, by genre, or you just put it where it falls on?”

I'm jealous of how many books you must have. I dream of one day having a library like the one in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. For now I'm content with having a few book shelves scattered throughout our house. BTW, I'm new to the book review blogging world (melissas-bookshelf.blogspot.com) and I LOVE your site. It's a new favorite!
Thanks for visiting, Melissa! I think that is one of my reasons for loving Beauty & The Beast so much. A heroine that reads. A heroine whose heart can be won with a look at that library!
Sounds like a system only you would know! If anyone else were to try and find something they'd be hard-pressed, right?
I often wonder how many books per week you read. Here's my answer:

I am so jealous of you and your book collection. Someday I will have a collection like that...someday when I find a bunch of hidden money buried in the backyard by a previous owner of the house...someday when my children stop loving their books to pieces (literally)...someday when my husband finally lets me near a bookstore without supervision...someday. :)
I sort books purely by color.
Wow, I'm actually glad I don't have that many books right now.. I wouldn't know where to start organizing! :D
