Topic: Books

I just got a new bookshelf and don’t know how to organize my books on it. Please let me know how to organize it. I own mostly fantasy with a bit of romance, dystopian, sci-fi, mystery/thriller, and little bit of general fiction/ literary fiction. You can look at my list called books I own but haven’t read to see some of what I would be putting in the shelf. Picture of the shelf below.

Marvel Jesus By genre, then the author's last name. Or just the author's last name

Glowbunny My library is purposefully haphazard. I do have mostly paperbacks on one bookshelf and mostly hardcover on others. There is also a little bit of accessibility taken into account (little used books higher and harder to reach - next up on my reading list and/or often reread favorites in on middle easily reached shelves). Other than that, I've been known to place a book in a space on the shelf because I wanted more of that color right there. It would drive many people batty, but it works for me.

Misty Mountain Arts I generally organize by vibe which is weird but it’s what works for me. So I will have shelves with certain themed knickknacks on there and then add the books that fit that vibe or genre onto that shelf.

Julz Nice they look cool. I don’t have enough room for knickknacks though. I have way too many books.
