i concur, purple is super royal – totally fitting for you :)
Van, you ole smoothie you – when we having that coffee? ;)
purple is truely for the passion of life..
my bookshelf is color-coded too. and now that i think about it, i don’t think i have any purple ones! wait, yes i remember now, i have like 3 or 4. definitely not enough purple :)
They say purple is the favorite colour of eccentrics! :)
( it is mine too!…purple sounds grand!)
That’s a gorgeous way of organizing a bookshelf. I tend to buy my books based on color, such as when there are different editions I will pick the color of a cover that I prefer. Yellow and brown/gold seems to be a common theme in my shelves from what I can tell by glancing across the room.
Glad to see someone else color codes their books too – definitely purple! I don’t have enough purple books! And purple is supposed to stimulate imagination and creativity…
I agree! I love purple and I love books. And I judge the book by its cover too. Nothing like reading a good book that looks pretty, right?
:)
interesting way of putting books together.. sure is aesthetic!!!!
purple you say… hummmmm fits you, there is so much purple in your photos somehow!
I rearranged my books from alphabetical order to colour order last Saturday evening. It was a pretty hard core rock and roll evening. I’m glad to see we’re as cool as eachother!
I colour code my books too. And you’re right, my purple section is far to small. It needs more purple books.
purple – passion – regal – i like that
just took a similar photo of one of my mother’s stuffed shelves. i have such a strong urge to rearrange her books this way. love it!

I have a photographic memory, only when it comes to my books. Last week I wanted to help my littlest monkey organize his books and he came up with the idea of catergories on his own. I was so proud.
as a librarian, i can tell you that when people ask for a particular book — say, “the big green book that had a chapter about snakes”, we can put our finger right on it. so go for the purple! it’s a color that librarians everywhere will appreciate…and remember.
love your bookshelf. it makes as much sense as any other shelving scheme. move over mr. dewey!
Swoon, this is something I must try with my own bookshelves! Right now I have them according to genre (childrens, poetry, classics, lbgt, non-fiction); practical but nowhere near as pretty.
Your bookshelves look like my closet!
purple is a good choice:-)
what a beautiful way to arrange your books!
That’s how I have my books arranged! By color :D
totally loving your colour coded bookshelf… i want to colour code MY bookshelf – my books are arranged by size… boring… and yes… a purple book.. i looove purple!!
love it!
I agree, there isn’t enough purple anything out there…
i want to try this! I arrange my books by category and size…i like the color idea though…
what a great idea – books arranged by color. brilliant!!
just the other day my 27 year old son told me that purple is the only colour.
Oh I love this! I must try it out! I can see only one purple book on my shelf, so indeed we need more purple books!

So this is your bookcase? Jam packed :)
I’m afraid mine has no organisation whatsoever. Haha
