Okay. Just implemented option 1. (link at signature)
(1) Sub-genres are categories, and listed on a custom menu that I'll add more to later (e.g. dark fantasy, steampunk, etc.) as different books get reviewed. I'm probably looking at 10-15 final subgenres max.
(2) Tags are tropes and misc details. I'm focusing on only using tags can be used to describe other books, but aren't too general that it would describe too many SF books. (e.g. I don't have a "strong female characters" tag cuz there's too many of them, but I do have a "tough dames" tag for female characters who are as tough as Sigourney Weaver)
(3) Search-engine-love terms that aren't meant for internal navigation (e.g. author's name, similar pop culture works) are in the form of categories and there's no menu in sight that lists all those irrelevant details.
I changed my wordpress theme. While I don't think it's as aesthetically pleasing, there's more options for where to put widgets and stuff.
Thoughts? Is this a pretty good category/tag system that would help readers look for their next read? Do you think readers will intuitively get how to use the tags, or should the tags be more visible? If you run a book blog, how do you think this compares to your system?
