Alphabetical order in the book cases and in no particular order in the drawers

I classify mine by topic, then usually alphabetical by author within each topic, although there are some exceptions. For example, mysteries, Christian books, poetry, and classics are alphabetized by author within each category. Foreign language books alphabetized by language. History books are sorted roughly in chronological order. If there’s a series, I try to keep them in order so I can read them chronologically.

By genre. It’s an ongoing process.

Each shelf is arranged by genre, sub genre, author or series and book height. I constantly argue with myself on how it’s done, lol.

I have my tbr books in my bedroom. The recent books I’m to read very soon is on a mini shelf next to the bed.
The books I’ve finished are on one area, and cookbooks, craftbooks etc, are on another in my library. Organized by author and subject and sometimes by when I got them

Mine are in a random order. I don’t do well with too much organisation.

I like to organize them by genre and then by hight. Of course series have to be in the right order.

I put them on shelves. Period. If I have to go hunting for the book I’m wanting next, well, I’ll hunt. That’s part of the fun!
