I think I need to add one as a try again category

[dorothyinAus]

I'm pretty simple with mine as I use GoodReads as a database of books I actually own. So my shelves are the same as the shelf catagories I have for my physical bookshelves, with the mandatory read, to-read, and currently reading:

audio-books ‎(10)
biography ‎(48)
borrowed ‎(17)
childrens ‎(118)
donated ‎(13)
ebooks ‎(30)
essays ‎(21)
fiction ‎(134)
humor ‎(30)
mystery ‎(457)
poetry ‎(7)
reference ‎(31)
teen-age ‎(115)
travel ‎(4)
unfinished ‎(1)

audiobooks, ebooks, donated, and borrowed are general catagories for organizational purposes, so I know where a particular book is if I am looking for it again.

[booknerd]

I need to make more. I'm too lazy.

[GilliC]

I have a lot of shelves, but they mostly fit into three categories: genre, location, and theme. I read a lot of books that are tied to specific places I've lived or visited frequently, so I use my location shelves to keep track of that (especially to help me remember how some titles ended up on my to-read list). I started creating the theme shelves to use with the Goodreads recommendations to find new books along the same lines.
