Genre hierarchy question/advice needed
I have got a genre column which I am trying to populate myself.
Hierarchy works fine but I am at a bit of a loss as to how to order things. Majority of books are mystery/crime of one type or another. Lots of subgenres in mysteries. Hard-Boiled, Cozy, Paranormal, Police Procedural, Horror, True Crime, Humorous, Juvenile, Detective, Fantasy, Legal, Suspense, Thriller etc. I have mystery as my top of hierarchy genre but will probably change to crime. If anyone has advice I would appreciate hearing it. Thanks Helen |

To bad calibre does not have a 'tag mapper' PI that would filter metadata downloads and use the users Map to populate tags |

@theducks - haha, you don't actually have to "tell the world" even if you do join. You can be "antisocial" on Goodreads if you want to (like I am) and keep your shelves private to yourself and not visible to others. Thereby just using Goodreads as a way of tracking what you have read over time with the pretty graphs etc, while being able to see other people''s reviews or have recommendations for books generated based on what you read/liked etc.
