How do you organise your books?
Which collections/shelves do you have?

I, too, have a backlog of books to import into Calibre (and to disinfect).
Since you're using Calibre to manage your library (smart move), you could adopt the series and genres (tags) listed for each book in Goodreads and/or various bookstores (e.g., Amazon, Baen, BN, Google Play, Kobo, Smashwords), by importing those books' metadata. That approach is usually easy-peasy, because Calibre automates it, though you may find yourself tweaking the metadata you've imported, e.g., by adding another series (or a different series), or editing other fields for some books. It's also possible that you won't find every book you own in Goodreads, but not to worry: book reviews, the publishers, and such sites as Worldcat, Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, the Internet Archive, and Abe Books typically supply genres and series.
