Lots of Books and No Bookcase?

Try this decorative and affordable option:

Go to your local hardware store, and pick up some 8" corner braces. You'll need 2 for each stack so plan accordingly...

Then, color coordinate your books (as best as you can) and, using a level, hang your 2 corner braces. Then, stack your color coordinated books on top! It kind of looks like "floating books" or something...

If you have a lot of books, you can do the same thing, covering more wall space... try doing each set of books on different levels or something!

Either way, it can be a decorative and affordable alternative for storing your books!
