Bookshelf Conundrum

My bookshelf is too small.

See, I organize my bookshelf by a system: magazines go on the bottom shelf. Scrapbooks go on the top shelf, in a basket. On the second-to-top shelf go my absolute favorite books- the best books I own. On the third-to-top shelf are the books that I also really like, but they aren't favorites. On the fourth-to-top (or second-to-last) shelf are the books I own that are just okay. This shelf is the most full.

There are some exceptions to the rule. For instance, my Hunger Games trilogy is on the "also really good" shelf, even though it's an absolute favorite, because I ran out of room on the "favorites" shelf. That's just one example. But, generally speaking, that's how it's set up, from top to bottom- favorites, really good ones, okay ones.

And, well, recently I've been getting books for my birthday, Christmas, random gifts, for myself, etc, etc. So, my bookshelf has gotten a bit over-full. I don't really want to double-stack them (aka, put a row of books behind another row) except on the "just okay" shelf, because I don't want to hide any of them. Because of that, right now it looks a little like this...


These are the "favorites" (top) and "also really good" (bottom) shelves. As you can see, they're rather... stacked. And there are more books that I want to get still! A lot more! And some more I'm reading right now that aren't on the bookshelf!

I NEED A BIGGER BOOKSHELF. 

That is all.
