Well, if you have time to go through your shelves I'm sure that you'd have a lovely time. I thought about putting my collection in order once, put I remembered that Molly Keane's books are sometimes billed as that and sometimes as M J Farrell and put the idea to one side. I just tidy from time to time to make sure all of the books by the same author together and that I haven't any duplicates.

Itr's like painting the Forth Bridge! I've never been very good about organising my books, and I keep finding Viragos (and other books) in odd places. Plus I came back from Oxfam today with three more.. And I had a bit of a splurge of Abe Books…

I've arranged my fiction in a-z author order – I used to be a librarian and the habit has stuck! But if I had as many Viragos and Persephones as you I'd keep them as individual collections – each one in a-z order.

Margaret, generally everything is all muddled up together, and after I've read a book I just cram it back wherever there is a space and I can never find anything. So I'm trying to sort them into categories to start with- Virago and Persephone, other fiction; children's and fantasy, crime (one small shelf), poetry and drama, gardening etc.

They look lovely just as they are. I notionally have things in alphabetical order within publishers or categories – but it never stays organised for very long…..

That's comforting! Thought perhaps it was just me being super disorganised!
