35559 This may be cheating...but what if we had a book that didn't have very many tags, and we were to tag it with "north america." I tried it with "American Gods" since that literally did take place all across North America, but it already had too many tags to show up. but maybe if another book didn't have many, one person tagging it would help it show up in top shelves?
