I put my books on the shelves, arranging them alphabetically, only to change my mind and rearrange by color and then again by which books I think would be friends.
I love this idea so much and considered altering my bookshelf organization when I remembered I wouldn’t remember which books were friends. Even in real life, I’m terrible at determining compatibility, assuming everyone I like must also like each other. Then coming to realize that is not always the case while at a coffee shop sharing a table with said persons who don’t like each other—awkward. Anyway, alphabetical it is for me and my overloaded bookshelves.
