This is what I do too, usually in different formats. For example right now I've got a SF book in paperback (7th in a long series), a fantasy on my Kindle in airplane mode to read slowly, an Agatha Christie novel on my cell phone kindle app to read quickly, and an autobiography on my Libby app in audiobook format. Bonus listening to A Wrinkle in Time on my Libby App to see if it's age appropriate for my kids. It basically becomes setting specific what I read or listen to.

My library did this once. There was a little description like "great beach read with a margarita" or "it was a dark and stormy night" just to give you a vague feel for genre. Then you checked them out and then unwrapped. A bit silly but definitely fun.
