I’m saying goodbye to messy, unorganised bookshelves in 2026 – these are the two Amazon organisation heroes I’m using to do it

Living room with wooden flooring, a red and white striped armchair, bookshelf, and cast iron radiator on the white wall.

‘New year, new me,’ and this time I promise I mean it, as I aim to keep my home tidier and more organised in 2026. And one way I plan on keeping my bookshelves in order is by investing in Amazon’s metal bookends (£15.19) and spirit level (£20.77).

As a writer, naturally, I love books and reading. And as a messy person, you can imagine the state of my bookshelves. While I’d argue that the shelves and books are clearly well-loved and read regularly, I can appreciate that it looks very untidy to an outsider. While I can’t quite bring myself to declutter my bookshelves, I have vowed to make an effort to keep them tidy in 2026.
