My two cents. Any thoughts?

I consider tagging others' books harmless: You are only making them more visible to others, not actually endorsing them. Promotion is part of selling, just like paying for ads or buying space in a magazine or subway billboard... this is just another method of advertising. You're contributing to promoting another's book, much the same as if you put an ad for their book in the back of your book... quid pro quo.
If you're not comfortable doing it, that's fine, I understand. But I wouldn't feel as if you're doing anything wrong or underhanded.
