How do you organise your books at home, or do you not bother?
B2Books & readingDescribe
A natural way to answer
I don't organise them very strictly. They tend to gather in piles around the house rather than neatly on shelves. I always plan to arrange them properly but never quite manage it. Even so, I usually know roughly where everything is.
Key phrases to use
- pile up — accumulate or gather in increasing amounts, often untidily“Unread books pile up on my bedside table.”
- get round to — finally find the time to do something you've been meaning to do“I never get round to tidying my shelves.”
