Is there any way to change this? I mean, I would like to add a book to a shelf if ANY of the tags is applied to id? I can change the code, that's right, , but I would like to know it I'm missing something.
You are reading the code correctly. To add a book to a shelf on Goodreads, the book has to have all the tags associated with shelf. This isn't a section of the plugin I've looked at before. I think the logic is that if you create all the tags when syncing from the shelf, needing all the tags when adding to the shelf makes sense.

But, I if you use a tag hierarchy, (SciFi, SciFi.Mil, SciFi.SpaceOpera, SciFi.Thriller, etc) you might want to map these back to a simpler shelf structure in Goodreads. So they are all on "SciFi".

Is there a need for an option for "all tags" vs "any tag"? I can't think of how to phrase the option. If you, or someone else, can come up with it, then I'll add it.
