And I like that I can control exactly what they are, rather than follow some established system.<BR/><BR/>Similarly, entering my library was also a joy. It was nice to go through and see all the books I owned, especially the ones who hadn't seen the light of day in a while due to storage. It's nice to evaluate my collection every once in a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433229890195144493.post-66560944620533683392008-06-04T11:33:00.000-04:002008-06-04T11:33:00.000-04:00tagging, that is something I use to my benefit...I...tagging, that is something I use to my benefit...I tag books as read or TBR. I haven't gotten beyond that. I never know what to tag books on LT, I would like it if they gave suggestions for each book, and I could click on whatever I wanted.bethany (dreadlock girl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02565178664993925800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433229890195144493.post-73152442943415533392008-06-04T07:48:00.000-04:002008-06-04T07:48:00.000-04:00Since Livejournal added tags back in 2005 or 2006 ...Since Livejournal added tags back in 2005 or 2006 (I can't remember and it isn't important), I've been addicted to tags for <I>everything</I>, so I was pleased as punch to find that LT had them available. I'm with you on their unlimited potential for creativity, though I'm quite boring with tagging mine. (I did briefly consider a foray into silliness by tagging my favorite books 'cheese' or 'brie' for the algorithm.)<BR/><BR/>I find the tags useful to show me what <I>types</I> of books I'm reading (based on how I would classify them rather than how someone else might). It's eye-opening about my library.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600102888178231470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433229890195144493.post-7907672653132854972008-06-04T02:21:00.000-04:002008-06-04T02:21:00.000-04:00I didn't get the whole tagging thing at first, but...I didn't get the whole tagging thing at first, but it's fun to see the cloud once you get started. Plus there seems to be some feeling in the ER program that having tags might help you snag an Early Review copy?

(Pardon the professional jargon there!) But on the other hand I'm also a control freak and like being able to categorize *my* books in *my* library the way *I* like! :-)Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433229890195144493.post-90749092847934928862008-06-03T09:02:00.000-04:002008-06-03T09:02:00.000-04:00I'm not creative with my tags - I need to think mo...I'm not creative with my tags - I need to think more about that and I haven't rated many of my books - there is so much to do with LT that I could spend all day on it.<BR/><BR/>The free books from Early Reviewers are a plus.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.com
