How do you arrange your books on your shelves? Is it by author, by genre, or you just put it where it falls on?

I have one bookshelf, and my books are primarily organized by size. The bottom shelf has textbooks (and paperwork), lower shelves have the graphic novels and large hardcovers (they can’t go anywhere else), the highest shelves have trade paperbacks, mass-market paperbacks and smaller formats. In general books migrate upward, as smaller ones yield shelf space to the larger ones. Then my books are organized loosely by ‘theme’, e.g. series and authors are always together, non-fiction and books on Christian living have their sections; even library books have their own (short-term) nook, as do computer games. I don’t own many books, so I’ve never had a problem with not being able to find something!

It’s a bit old (new additions have been made since!), but here’s a collage of my bookshelf:

(Now, my music CD collection is a completely different story. That needs serious organizing…!)
