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.

I tend to do by author, and anthologies by "well I'm never going to be able to find this regardless, so by editor I guess".

Not necessarily recommended. 😄

Via Julia Claire:

Putting a baby in a freezer would kill it, but freezing embryos keeps them alive. That's why an embryo isn't a baby. Hope that helps if you're very stupid <3

That's just wrong, though? It's not hypocrisy, because it's true: an embryo or a fetus is NOT a person, just like an eagle's egg isn't an eagle.

Eagle eggs aren't inside the body of an eagle that might not want them there. We don't somehow force eagles to tend the eggs in their nests! Much less to give parts of their own bodies over to the welfare of their eggs.

This analogy just doesn't work.
