“Why are you taking photos of your books?” Certainly, I’m not the only one who’s had to answer this question. As long as you blog about books, are a bookstagrammer or post book photography on Tumblr, someone is bound to have asked you this as well.

So many books, so little time! It doesn’t help when the list of books we intend to read are out of control. That TBR list is supposed to help us keep track of books we definitely want to read, so that we don’t lose track. Once it has grown out of proportion though, that list no longer helps us stay on task. In order to combat this problem, I have put together a list that serves as a handy guide to managing TBR piles.

Book porn is a thing. While not as wide-spread as food porn, among the camera-wielding, photo-oggling bibliophiles, book porn is a rising trend (I made that up. I don’t have stats to back up this claim but I stand by it anyway.)

Have the bookstore shelving systems collapsed? Take a look at the following book covers. These were shelved together in one of the shelf sections.
