I need to reorganize my fiction bookshelves. What system has worked best for you? I'm leaning towards going by author, though that leaves the question of how to treat anthologies. Maybe anthologies could be first, or shelved by the editor's name. Alphabetical by title (preceded by numbers) might work just as well as by author.

I had been doing them by height size, except for the graphic novels, which tend not to match any standard size.

These particular bookshelves are all fiction (except for graphic nonfiction) so organizing by subject seems unwieldy.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon You know I do my fiction by author alphabetically (but the individual books aren’t alphabetized). My graphic novels are just in their own section. What about doing the anthologies like that, too?

@kimlockhartga @MissConstrue @BackFromTheDud @bookstodon I think color organization can look neat, but realistically I like to be able to find my books easily, also it would drive my mind crazy to have an author’s books spread about the whole room.

Ooh exciting news! I loved Olive Kitteridge, The Burgess Boys and My Name is Lucy Barton and this new one sounds like they’re all coming together, what a treat! New Elizabeth Strout out in September @bookstodon https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/b7bd5236-9356-4df8-aa6c-f3804f00defe

@sarahmatthews @bookstodon I love Strout and OK is one of favorite books. Excited for this one. Did you read Olive, Again ( a sequel of sorts to OK)?

@bookstodon Blackstone Publishing is really putting out some good work of late. I recently picked up Lilith, by Eric Rickstad, and was pleasantly surprised by the strength of the writing and the fearlessness of the highly topical plot.

@kimlockhartga @bookstodon Lilith has been on my tbr. I found out about it very close to the publishing date and got a denial from Netgalley. It’s on my hold list. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
