me, I like it plain and simple. I mainly just highlight the tags in the line and delete them. Then add a couple of plain simple ones. Mystery, then go Am or Brit or His to identify type. Romance, well, that I can do as PN romance, His romance, Com romance. Time Travel can be future or past and that covers it.
I know that a lot wants to clarify better what is in it, but if Iwent that route I would go overboard and have fifty tags for a book, so I am trying to make it as simple as possible.
' "For example, Pinocchio would be in the genre "Children's Fiction", but it would have tags such as "puppet, big nose, liar, carpenter, Jimminy Cricket, etc".' if definitely a good example of how I could go overboard in giving tags.
What I think works best if find ones that work for you. For me, PNR vamp or PNR weres, would work to let me know it is a paranormal romance with vampires or with weres, whatever type they are. HisBrit MR lets me know it is a historical murder mystery based in England.
Of course, that only works if the only person involved is me. If I had to share my reader, or Calibre with someone else, it would be a whole other story.
The Goodreads is a good way to go to help keep things straight. I think they have too many shelves, but that is me.
