Just to drop $0.02 on this thread, I have created a couple custom shelves in Calibre, thought I'd share for examples/ideas.
One shelf is called reading status, I have "To Be Read", "Reading" and "Finished". This helps me organize books into a general chronological order of what I am working to get to next, what I am currently working on (usually 3-4 at a time), and what I'm done with.
A second shelf is called Recommendation and it has "Reddit's favorite's books", "Mom's books", "Classics", "NY Times", "GoodReads". I end up with lots of books recommended from various sources, and like to know who/what reason they ended up in my collection.
I might add a third shelf that is called Genre. Currently Calibre has 'Tags' which populates lots of genre-like info, but sometimes it is sparse and sometimes it is too much. One book might having nothing, one might say 'Fiction', while another might say 'American Horror Fiction, Classic Ghost Stories, Epic Fantasy, Fantasy, Science Fiction'. All three books are basically Horror in my mind, but they won't be in the same collection on my device, so I'm thinking of starting a third shelf to organize by genre.
