Since the earliest days of Calibre, I tried different ways of classifications including Dewey. Re-worked my library choices and decisions many times and gradually found the formula's that suit me and looks nice.

I settled for Erotica | Fiction | Nonfiction | Religion

Everything I collect sits neatly underneath these 4 as sub-genres.

A sample erotica tag is-
*Reading comfort: Adult PLUS themed; Erotica; LGBTQ +, adventures, fiction, historical fiction, lesbian fiction, romance (these lines in the library are in red and alerts the typical reader that doesn't like to confront hard core sexual references)

male/female relationships fit nicely in regular reading fiction

A sample fiction tag for the series: A Witch P.I. Mystery is-
contemporary, cozy, detectives, familiars, female, female sleuths, fiction, humor, magic, mysteries, paranormal, private detectives, supernatural, who-done-it, witch detectives, witch mysteries, witches

A sample nonfiction tag-
art, birds, coloring books, crafts, hobbies, nonfiction, U. S. birds
I've placed even cartoon coloring books beneath nonfiction because its part of arts, crafts, hobbies, etc.

A sample religion tag-
Religions are that. Every culture has belivers in 'their' faith.

Therefore, Christian, Hindus, Mythologies, Shamanism, Wiccan, whatever, for me fits here.

As far as how I classify folklore, mythology, and legends...

mythology in- religion

folklore and legends: UFO's, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, the Virgina Mothman, etc... in nonfiction as studies in-, unless it's a fictional story line.
