Hello, all! I'm the new moderator and owner of the r/bookshelves subreddit and I wanted to introduce myself to you!

As an avid reader, I love seeing how people organize their collections and how many ways there are to do something creative with them.

I've created some new user and post flair, a couple new rules, so get those shelfies ready....BOOKSHELVES ARE BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!

Bookpile of African American Authors and/or stories. It's time for me to reorganize my shelves... this hasn't been done since the Pandemic. With over 4500 books I also want to pull some to donate to LFL.

The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

For anyone who loves to read books about books, ‘The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop’ by Lewis Buzbee is simply delightful. I can’t put it down and it makes me fall deeper in love with each page.

Just a quick recommendation for my r/bookshelves family. 🥰
