How do y'all determine what tags to put on your books before you read them? I can handle sticking on the more general tags, like SciFi vs. Thriller, before reading a book. But looking at, for example, the tags posted by DuskyRose - some of those seem like they'd be difficult to apply before reading a book.
Personally, I don't have much use for tags after I've already read the book. I'm probably not going to read it again (sometimes I do). I use tags to assist me in determining the next book I may want to read. It almost seems like a "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" scenario. In order to apply tags accurately you pretty much have to have read the book first. But if you want to use the tags to determine which book you want to read next ... ?
