Organizing my book collection by genre has been a game-changer for me, and I love sharing my method. I start by creating broad categories like 'Fantasy', 'Romance', 'Sci-Fi', and 'Mystery'. Then, I dive deeper into sub-genres—for example, under 'Fantasy', I might have 'High Fantasy', 'Urban Fantasy', and 'Dark Fantasy'.
I use a digital spreadsheet to keep track, with columns for title, author, genre, and my personal rating. For physical books, I arrange them on shelves by genre, then alphabetically by author. This makes it super easy to find what I’m in the mood for. I also tag books in apps like Goodreads or StoryGraph, which helps when I want recommendations based on my preferences.
Another trick I’ve picked up is color-coding spines or using sticky notes for quick visual reference. It’s a bit extra, but it makes my shelves look vibrant and organized. If you’re into audiobooks or e-books, creating folders or playlists by genre works wonders too.

I love organizing my tbr list by genre because it helps me match my reading mood. I start by listing all the books I want to read, then I group them into categories like fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and mystery. I use a simple spreadsheet or even sticky notes to keep track. For fantasy, I might include 'The Name of the Wind' and 'Mistborn'. Romance could have 'The Hating Game' and 'Normal People'. I also leave a little space for mood reads—sometimes I’m not in the mood for a heavy fantasy and just want something light. This method keeps my list flexible but structured.

I've always found organizing books by genre to be a mix of practicality and personal preference. Start by sorting them into broad categories like fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and non-fiction. Within each genre, I arrange alphabetically by author's last name for easy access. For series, I keep them together in order, regardless of author. I also use color-coded stickers on the spines to quickly identify genres. It's a simple system, but it works wonders for keeping my library tidy and making sure I can find what I want without a hassle. For kids' books, I separate them into their own section to make bedtime reading easier.

If you want cartoon names grouped by personality or traits, I usually hunt for lists that are organized by archetype rather than alphabet. I like collections that break characters into categories like hero/antihero/villain, mentor/sidekick, trickster, or the emotionally guarded type — those groupings make it so much easier to pick a fitting name for a new character or fan project. On many fan wikis and creative-writing sites you’ll see headings like ‘Brave/Heroic’, ‘Cunning/Deceptive’, or ‘Playful/Mischievous’, and those are exactly the trait-based lists you’re after.
Practical tip: look for lists that include both the trait label and short descriptors or example characters. For instance, a ‘mischievous’ category might list names inspired by trickster figures, like an entry that references 'Loki' or more playful picks tied to youthful sidekicks. I’ve used these lists when writing short comics and they speed up naming so much — you get a mood with the name before you even type the first scene, which feels great.

By format and edition. All my favorite mass-market paperbacks are together, sorted by genre. All my favorite trade paperbacks are on another shelf. All my favorite hardcovers, especially nice ones, are on a display shelf.
This acknowledges that the physical object matters. Sometimes I'm in the mood for the lightweight, portable paperback edition of a favorite, other times I want to luxuriate with the hardcover. It also looks neat and uniform. Finding a specific title means knowing its format, which I usually do, then browsing that format's genre section.

Organizing books by genre on an iPad can be a game-changer for avid readers like me. I use Apple's native 'Books' app because it allows custom collections, which act like virtual shelves.
First, I create a collection for each genre—fantasy, romance, sci-fi, etc. Then, I manually sort my books by tapping 'Select,' choosing the titles, and adding them to the relevant collection. For larger libraries, I use the search bar to filter by keywords like 'fantasy' or 'romance' to speed up the process.
Another trick is to use metadata. If you import EPUBs, ensure the genre is correctly tagged in the file’s metadata. This way, the 'Books' app can auto-sort them. For manga or comics, I separate them into sub-collections like 'Shonen' or 'Shojo' to keep things tidy. The key is consistency—updating collections as you add new books ensures your library stays organized and easy to navigate.

Organizing a journal for books by genre is a fantastic way to keep track of your reading journey and discover patterns in your preferences. I love using a physical notebook with tabs or dividers for each genre, like fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and mystery. Each section starts with a brief overview of why I love the genre, followed by entries for each book. For every entry, I jot down the title, author, a short summary, my rating, and personal thoughts—especially how it made me feel or standout moments. Digital tools like Notion or Goodreads also work wonders; you can create custom tags or shelves.
To make it visually appealing, I add color-coding or stickers for moods (e.g., heart stickers for tearjerkers). For deeper analysis, I include a monthly wrap-up comparing genres—like how many fantasy books made me cry versus sci-fi. This method turns my journal into a personalized literary map, and revisiting it feels like flipping through a scrapbook of emotions and adventures.

I'm curious about how audiobooks and large print editions are handled. Are they shelved with the regular print version? In my library, they're in separate sections due to format, but they have the same call number core. So 'The Hobbit' audiobook and 'The Hobbit' novel are linked in the catalog but live on different physical shelves.

Don't sleep on the Notes app on your phone! Seriously. I have a note called 'Book Queue' with a simple bulleted list. When I finish a book, I delete it from the top and add new ones at the bottom. For format, I just put (A), (E), or (P) in parentheses after the title.
It's always with me, it takes two seconds to update, and there's no login or setup required. The barrier to entry is zero, which is the most important feature for a habit you want to maintain. Fancy apps have their place, but sometimes a basic list is all you need.

I'll be the dissenting voice on Goodreads. I find its genre browsing fundamentally broken for this specific task. The lists are flooded with user-created junk, popular books are miscategorized to game the system (is 'The Midnight Library' really fantasy?), and the search-by-genre function surfaces the same 20 mega-bestsellers every time. Trying to find a simple, clean list of titles and authors by genre there feels like digging through a landfill with a teaspoon.
For me, it's only useful after I have a title in mind, to check reviews. For discovery, I've had much better luck with the methods others mentioned—specialist blogs and library catalogs. Goodreads has the data, but its interface and community features make extracting it a chore rather than a pleasure.
