Well I tried to use the book shelves in my house in whiterun but whenever I place a book in them they fall down, is this a bug or is my house not leveled lol, idk, so much for that feature, I thought it was going to make placing books way easier but instead it doesn't work...

Also the new grabbing is pretty terrible, unlike in oblivion where you could grab an object from any part, the one in skyrim always grabs every item from the center making it impossible to rotate, I can't use either method to place books on my shelf.

You're supposed to have a lot of books to put on the shelf, therefor making it so none fall down.

oh, well that seems dumb, I never had to do that in previous games, they all stood up properly when i placed them

Yeah, I never used to put books on shelves, usually armor I wanted to display. I like that they give us a tool to automaticly put it on.
