Do a tour of your bookshelves: “Overcoming Adversity: Resetting Goals” by Nelson J. Fowlkes

Doing a tour of your bookshelves is a fun challenge that may remind us of memories we had the first time we read the books we have collected. Bookworm, reader, bookish, reading addict, and however we call ourselves, we have different ways of organizing our book collections. By genre? Color? Size?

Have you seen what others’ bookshelves look like and felt overwhelmed with hundreds, if not thousands, of pictures of gorgeous bookshelves? Organized by color and decorated so perfectly, it makes you cry or makes you just a teensy bit jealous. Do you prefer your bookshelves with dim lighting? Or bright light? Aesthetic? Nostalgic?

When it comes to the arrangement and shelving of their books, readers are highly particular. There’s an abundance of possibilities. You could use a traditional alphabetic approach, go all Dewey Decimal, or follow Reese Witherspoon’s lead and organize by color.

Do you think that arranging books on shelves horizontally is a great idea? Although we are aware that they could make good bookends, some people don’t think they look well. For many, their TBR pile is the only book they arrange horizontally. This sets them apart from the novels that have already been read. Furthermore, it aids in their ability to estimate the amount of their pile and make every effort to minimize it.

But, before taking the challenge, add this must-read book to your bookshelves.

“Overcoming Adversity: Resetting Goals” by Nelson J. Fowlkes is a must-read book that teaches you how to re-set. If you are looking for an opportunity to start fresh and create a new trajectory for your life, then this is the story for you. A most compelling takeaway concept: do not allow circumstances to define your worth.

As per the US Review of Books, “Within these pages, Fowlkes tells the candid story of his life. Despite prevalent racism in America, he is a proud patriot who served as a U.S. soldier from 1958 until 1975. He provides a fascinating account of being protected, in some ways, from discrimination because he resided on a military base, although discrimination ultimately led to his release from active duty.”
