Having 2 communities on the same instance seems like overkill with the current user base. I could see if they were on separate instances, however combining them seems like a good idea.

Yea, even apart from the same instance thing (where lemmy.ml is basically federating with just about every other (reasonable) instance AFAIK), lemmy is just not that big a place ... getting cozy with each other is probably for the best.
Like all of the "News" communities are pretty overkill.
Especially with a more niche community like this, there's probably more books than users.
That's a fair point. I tried to split the communities how they were in reddit because I felt they draw a very different set of folks.
Honestly, I have no objection to merging the two into 1. I'm still learning Lemmy now that I left Reddit, and I'm trying to fill the gaps in content I find as best I can.
