How much room do you have? Measure the height of the shelves that you want. (The out side edges). then measure the height of the longest book. Then divide the length of the outside boards by the length of the book.Keep your shelves this high. Depends on how thick
the books are, you may have to build two. Good luck.

just an add on to the old college standby, cover the boards with fabric that you like, paint the cinder blocks..you can change it up, recover, or burn the wood later when you own a home with a fireplace..
good luck
