Alphabetically by author's last name and chronologically inside each author.

Alphabetical by author last name, and then in order of release date. It's the only non-spergy way to do it

One bookcase for fiction and one for nonfiction. I order by country of origin > author’s last name > chronological release date regarding fiction books. Non fiction I order in categories (like history, economics, literature studies) > last name > release date.

i put my books on it in the order i read them
this is nice because i can look back at it and see all the things i read and when i read them and it's cozy and helps me remember them
ignore the cook books, i'm gonna get a small shelf in my kitchen for them when my current reading encroaches on their territory
