Tag Issues and a Goodreads Idea
So, an issue that I am continually running across is that when I download the metadata for a book, the tags are often quite useless. Downloading from Amazon, Goodreads, and FictionDB will often get me a book with tags like: General Fiction, Contemporary.
When I look at the Top 100 Shelves on Goodreads, the book is shelved as follows: General Fiction, Contemporary, Southern, Paranormal, Police, Angst, Adventure, Coming of Age. Which is a much more useful set of tags. Is there any way to easily add the shelves as tags? Maybe a plugin, or a feature on GR that I don't know about? I know that the GR Plugin can do tag stuff, but that seems to be only with YOUR tags. I really don't want to have to go to every book I own and add in every tag by hand. ![]() I'm just looking for the most time efficient and least labor intensive way to manage tagging. Any ideas? What's your process? Tell me how you like to tag! |

Yup, I have those. Unfortunately, none of them address the tag issue. Perhaps I should have posted this as a suggestion in one of the plugin threads.
