How have you organized your bookshelf here on goodreads? Do you just use the shelves they've provided (ie. read, to-read, currently reading), or have you set up your own (ie. by genre, by year read, etc.)?

So far I've just used their shelves. I keep a spreadsheet on my computer that has a lot of those other categories.
I've addd a few of my own. I've got shelves for what I've read each year since 2006 (actually 2006 is just my A-Z Author challenge and a few others because that year I didn't keep very good records), two for my A-Z Author Challengess in 2006 and 2008, and some shelves for the reading challenges/personal goals I've set for 2011.I think I might try shelves for genres, but only fiction, non-fiction and possibly YA - it would be nice to just click on "non-fiction" and see what I've got and what I want to read.
wow - I had no idea we could do all that!:) so far, I've just used their shelves, but now I might have to explore a little:)
I had no idea, either. But I don't think I'd have time to do more. I keep a handwritten list of books I've read. Horribly old-fashioned, I know, but I love flipping through those yearly notebooks.
My list is also handwritten, Theresa. I write in a journal daily (nothing real introspective; more a litany of my day-to-day life with occasional state-of-mind reflections) and keep a list in that journal of books read throughout that year. Then at the end of the year I type out my list and give them grades. My lists date back to 1970 and it's fun to look back and reminisce. That method works for me!
I have a lot of shelves. Had I realized how they would important into goodreads I might have just started from scratch.Use all three of the goodreads shelves. Then have year shelves, hard back, soft back, larg and small. So I know where to actually locate them on my shelves at home. Non-fiction, eReader, Audio, Young adult, Wyoming,permanet collection, wish list....
Still trying to get organized.
I had no idea we could do all that either!! I have just been using their shelves. I keep a yearly list of what I read in a notebook, but I may have to check more into it when I am home more next week!!
I make up shelves. I have one for each of the groups I'm in. Plus for ones that I own and/or get from the library.
I Use the shelves as a more eco-friendly TBR list. When I read about or hear about a book that might be of interest , I add it to list. If you notice, that part of my list is longer than the books I have read.
