That picture has made me feel a touch more comfortable with mine!  I did notice yesterday that I have a number of worthy tomes visible over my left shoulder when on video calls, while the rather more commercial offerings are out of sight to my right.  No planning has gone into this happy state of affairs.

I know that feeling! I have a large bookcase that has books the right way up along every shelf, then books on their side in front of those nice neat rows, other books shoved on top on the nice neat rows along with folders, loose paper and goodness knows what else slotted into any spare gap! I have a smaller bookshelf that sits next to it, right beside my desk that has all my Hungarian textbooks, cook books, history books etc shoved in wherever I can fit them! There's also a Hungary flag, scarf and football shirt squeezed in there as well. My Lilák shirt is hung up the other side of my desk! This thread did prompt me to count the current number of books on my bedside table - 57! There's another 30 odd on the windowsill and about 500 in boxes in a cupboard! I never get rid of books!!
