What Does Your Book Organisation Method Say About You?

For book lovers, an at-home library is way more than just a practical space for storage. Instead, those bookshelves become living, breathing features, and are often the things we spend most of our time admiring or toying with when we’re at home.

It’s for this reason that attractive editions of books often become so important to bibliophiles, and it’s also why we’ll always seek striking storage solutions like these timber shelves over a rushed or cheap bookcase. Unfortunately, no matter how attractive your books or shelving happen to be, your efforts to bring this space to life can still start to falter if you don’t also consider which style of bookish organisation best suits your needs.

Admittedly, most book lovers will continually reorganise and play around with their living libraries – that’s all part of the fun! However, most of us do this as part of a far wider quest to settle on our own true book organisation method at last and, when we finally find a method that helps us to always make the most of our books, it’s not unheard of for us to stick to it like glue.

Of course, there’s no right or wrong when it comes to book organisation, and the style that works for you is undeniably the right option. The question is, what exactly does your chosen style say about you as a person and a reader?

Exciting Queer Dark Urban Fantasy Series! Indie Book Recommendations

Hi everyone! In this post I wanted to share a very exciting queer dark urban fantasy series!! Every book in the series sounds and looks so good and I want more people to know about it! There are 8 books, the last installment is due to release this May. The first book is currently free on Kindle so please check it out and leave a review to support the author!

Jack of Thorns

Laurence Riley might be able to see the future, but he can't see a way to fix his messed-up life. He can't control anything—not his supernatural talents, not his drug addiction, and not his violent ex-boyfriend. Laurence needs help and he knows it. A lifelong pagan, he turns to his god... and he gets Jack. Jack can help Laurence tame his powers and take control of his life. But it comes at a price: Laurence will need to keep him fed with regular offerings of sex. For the old Laurence, that would've been a pleasure. Problem is, Laurence has met Quentin.

Quentin is devastatingly handsome, way out of Laurence's league (like British nobility levels of out-of-his-league), and unbearably chaste. If that weren’t enough to keep Laurence away, Quentin's wild telekinesis is even more uncontrollable than Laurence's precognition. But Laurence doesn't want anyone else, and Jack is getting hungry.

Then Laurence foresees a glimpse of Jack's true plan. It will leave a trail of death across San Diego--and Laurence has been helping him do it. The past has taught him that the future can't be changed. But if Laurence and Quentin can't stop Jack, there won't be any future at all.

Jack of Thorns is the first book in a dark urban fantasy series where X-Men meets The Magicians.

Knight of Flames

Some men are forged in fire.

Quentin d’Arcy may have survived a showdown with a god, but now he faces something far more terrifying: falling in love. And the secret he’s hiding from Laurence could burn them both.

Kane Wilson says he wants to make a better world—one in which psychics are out and proud without fear of reprisal or hatred—but there’s a trail of bodies buried in his past. Kane’s power is his words. When he commands, everyone obeys. They have no choice.

Everyone except Quentin. As the only person in San Diego immune to Kane’s mind-control, he is the psychic community’s last line of defense against Wilson’s murderous schemes.

The fire has been foreseen.

Quentin’s survival hasn’t.

Lord of Ravens

Hunter and prey. Which is which?

Laurence Riley believed that he was nothing. He couldn’t have been further from the truth. Descended from Herne the Hunter, his own need to seek prey has long gone unfulfilled. Now it’s out of control.

Something ancient is coming to take Quentin home: a creature of nightmare who feasts on the flesh of children. But Laurence has seen the real monster. The one who is pulling all their strings from afar.

Only Herne can prepare Laurence to face an evil which far outmatches him. Their enemy wields the most powerful weapon of all, and will destroy everyone Laurence loves unless he can master the same power.

He must learn magic.
