I was wondering what are the main genre/s that can be found in your book collection? (physical and/or ebooks) Do you have a favorite sub-genre?

I have much more physical books than ebooks. Most of them are paperbacks than hardcovers. All of them in the genre of Young Adult.
It's a mix of various non-fiction from history, sociology, psychology, philosophy, science, Christianity, religion, business, engineering textbooks, art-history, and a few fantasy and historical fiction. I'm thinking I need to up my sci-fi game since my phy-sci game is pretty deep with stacks and piles of books.Oh, and sheet music! I can't forget about those!
I collect a lot of art books and game guides. So my collection has a pretty heavy amount of those kinds of books.
In my book collection i have a lot of YA mystery some contemporary and a minority of fantasy and sci fi
I've got about the same amount of ebooks and physical books (yikes).Ebooks, no clue.
Physical books, most of my fiction is YA or adult fantasy/sci-fi, and my nonfiction is mainly military focusing on WW2, although I do have a lot of books on lighthouses as well.
Then there are my wife's books, which are all nonfiction and are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Anything from bird keeping to how to be a compleat clown.
I know this because I keep track of my books in a spreadsheet. I have a wide variety of genres but the most common are classics, literary fiction and historical fiction.
I love owning physical books and building on my collection. I like the look of hardcovers better, but for practicality I like paperbacks. I mainly read young adult fiction, but have tried to branch out recently and bought a book on Norse Mythology which I’m excited to read 😊
