I have three bookshelves with books I've read. I have a shelf in my bedroom dedicated to books in my reading pile. It's all very tidy. When the shelves of read books get full, I decide which to hang on to and which to donate. Often books I think I want to keep lose their shine over time and it makes them easier to let go of. I'm not having piles. Just nicely organised bookshelves.

LiterallyOnFire i also cannot have my books mixed. i have shelves for brand new books, shelves for second hand, then piles that i am curating for friends that get moved into tote bags when the piles get too big.

I also run a little free library from our house - that's a whole separate system involving bookshelves in the garage for big deliveries!

I would LOVE to run a little free library but it would just be vandalised within 24 hours I reckon 🤣

Good luck!! I regularly unhaul books when I realise that my stacks are out of control 🤣. But be careful not to buy any more books at the charity shop after dropping them off!

Thank you! That is an EXCELLENT point. May delegate that delivery to a family member less likely to be tempted… 😂
