controversial question time

how do you organize books on your home bookshelf?

@chrisamaphone wife and I mostly each curate specific genres on distinct shelves. mine (mostly fantasy and sci-fi) are grouped kinda by collection, then by author, then aesthetic and size.
@chrisamaphone because they look nice together I have a whole Dune shelf, which also includes the art companion book for Blade Runner 2049 (I don't have the Dune ones yet). but this is funny because I've only read the first two in the series...

@chrisamaphone I also have two Tolkien shelves*, despite not having read all of the material. but I love them and will not be changing them except to add anything else I come across that fits.

*I believe Tolkien is a genre unto himself, genuinely.
