I totally agree that multiple genre tags (and shelves in the Goodreads case) are far too heavily overused. Especially "Fantasy" and "Science Fiction" together. If a book has magic in it, it is a *Fantasy* book. Yes Artemis Fowl that means you. When I go looking for a "Science Fiction" book I do *not* expect to be reading about elves and goblins.

It is a definition I saw on an Australian TV show with a panel of well known fantasy authors, and if it is good enough for them that is good enough for me .
