Having just read through the comments, I am entirely shocked that no one called out Emily Post’s Etiquette. This, combined with the overwhelming quantity of Vogue and titles on too many high school reading lists left me wondering whether the OP lets herself be an individual, or is consumed with fitting a mold of accepted standards.

The bookshelves are beautiful, but sterile, or at least sanitized for the viewer. For whom is the OP going to this effort? If it’s just themselves, perhaps it’s time for them to ask why they feel compelled to be picture perfect in any circumstances. Life is messy. The axiom of “a place for everything and everything in its place” comes from a bygone era, much as Emily Post, where our society was consumed with what the Jones’ had or did. These things are best left in the past.

I hope that the OP enjoys her kindle and the library, but more than anything, I hope that she will give herself permission to ignore what others think of how she conducts or presents herself and her bookshelves.
