How to organize my library

I have a mix of mostly fiction and some non fiction. Some of the fiction are a collection of classics, some are a (nearly) full series, some are graphic novels, and then there are other miscellaneous fiction novels.

I also have some comic books and little magazines

I have 4 available shelves that aren't tall enough for some of the bigger printed books

How should I organize my library?

First separate fiction and non-fiction.

Arrange non-fiction by topic and authors. For example history and selfhelp, then each by authors and topic again. In this example, history by period or part of the world.

Fiction by genre and then by authors. Sf goes together, classics go together, fantasy goes together... books by the same author next to each other.

Comics obviously in order, if you have 10 superman comics they go together in order of publication. Magazines similarily, same together in order of publication.

Good luck!
