Story books / novels go in author & order of release.
Information books ( recipes, gardening, identification type books) go in categories

My books seem to be spread about, cookery ones in the living room, gardening are next to my PC desk.
Craft books in craft room.
Sitting room shelves for everything else but they're in no order apart from largest at the bottom.
I've got a kindle I use that a fair its handy to have and holds lots of books.

Piled high randomly!
Cookery and gardening 'proper' books in P's study along with his reference (railway/computer) books by size predominantly because of shelf height.
Fiction mostly paperbacks are in my 'den' on shelves, bed, floor, desk, anywhere because I've run out of room. Smile

As an aside, I missed the wheelbarrow posts. I've never considered pulling a wheelbarrow. It's usually me does the heavy carting about and pushing slabs or sacks of wet manure up a 120m slope is hard graft. I will try pulling.

Thought I'd better share Wink
Fiction is in the little bedroom/study, on shelves, by author. Once read, I give them away, apart from a few classics that I've read several times.
The bed is covered with boxes of books, mostly sorted by subject - gardening/cookery/self sufficiency/foraging/wildlife/history.
Main bedroom - shelves and more boxes of recently acquired books - a few for bedtime reading and some "What to do in your garden this month" to remind me (if I remember to look at them.)
Bookcase on the landing has books I value for their rarity or age or sentimental reasons.
Downstairs - a wall of book shelves for non-fiction. I try to shelve them by subject and by author - eg all Geoff Hamilton books are together on a gardening shelf. Most of the travel guide books are being given away as I'm unlikely to be visiting those countries now.
Sometimes, when the weather's bad and I'm "bored" I move the books around into matching size, or colour of cover. Many years ago, I had a shelf of orange Penguin paperbacks Big Grin
I really need a hobby......................maybe I'll collect seed packets!!

Ours are on bookshelves grouped in genres and then height order.
Got too many, no one wants them and I don’t want to throw them out!

Or mustard mixed with the Mayo with ham. Unless it’s tuna & Mayo with cucumber or spring onion, in which case the bread doesn’t have anything on it.
I’m with you Small chilli. Never any butter for me, just a scrape of Mayo to stop it all falling apart. Butter only used for cooking as far as I’m concerned - though the chief weeder likes it on his crumpets.

That's something I used to enjoy a piece of plain loaf and butter and jam, if you opened up the loaf first, you got the outsider and if you also had picked the right end to open, it was a thick outsider, greatSmile there was usually a thick outside and the opposite end thin, sadly the pan bread was introduced, though I have noted plain bread back on the market, one good thing about the pan I get away with using two slices to make a piece Big Grin
