R.A. Harrington (raharrington) | 2 comments I have to say that http://tagmybookonamazon.wordpress.com is a great website! I've enjoyed the collaboration and find myself tagging my fellow authors quite regularly.

Todd,
I don't know if it is a new feature, but I really appreciated the dividing line where the April books began... of course, I worked up from the bottom to be sure I didn't miss anyone, so your partition meant I knew where to stop.

Tagging is very patchy. A couple of historical authors only have Todd's tags (and now mine).




message 757: by Todd Fonseca (new)

Todd Fonseca | 489 comments Thanks Rowena, I started putting the monthly breaks in a few months back to hopefully make it easier...

K.G. Cummings (kgcummings) | 143 comments If I have not tagged anyones book, please send me a message to let me know. It's been a stressful spring with my father in the hospital, passing away, and now helping my 87 year old mother cope to life on her own after 62 years of marriage. Life gets in the way sometimes! Again, please send a msg if you are not tagged by me. I do want to participate in this "project". Kathy

Take a deep breath...take one moment at a time. There will always be time to work-there won't always be a parent to help. It's hard I know, I've been there but patience is a must.



message 760: by Penelope (new)

Penelope (PARiley) | 39 comments I need my book tagged Kathy, "Travel absurdities". I have only joined Goodreads for two weeks and have not gotten everything done I need to.
On the other note, Mary is right, take a deep breathe. I have been doing that all week because on Tuesday I placed my mom in a group home for ALZ. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. My heart weighs heavy but I know she will be very well taken care of. It is a single residence with 4 other ladies, much nicer than my own house.
I know my salvation for the last few years has been writing. You'll find a little time for yourself, just watch your stress level.

message 761: by Debra (new)

Debra (debrapurdykong) Hi Kathy, first, I'm very sorry to hear about your father passing. My brother-in-law just passed away unexpectedly on Apr. 18th, so it's been a tough few days for my husband.

Second, when you feel like it, and there's no rush, I'd appreciate it if you tagged my book, Fatal Encryption. And if you like, also my book Taxed to Death. Thanks again, and take care.



message 762: by K.G. (new)

K.G. Cummings (kgcummings) | 143 comments Penelope, and Debra... tagged you both! Hope if you haven't already, that you will tag me.
Condolences in the loss of your brother in law Debra. It's always hard to lose a family member. Here is a ((hug)).
Kathy

Dee Marie (dee_marie) | 460 comments Huge hugs Kathy (just cause you deserve them)

Hey Todd, thanks for the weekend update newsletter. That always helps. Also, not sure if the new-to-tagging authors know, but us old-time-taggers also appreciate being tagged ;]

K.G. Cummings (kgcummings) | 143 comments Dee... thanks for the hug! and here's one back at ya! ((hug)) I like that "old-time-taggers" so much better than just plain old timers! Just rolling over the big six oooohhhh I'm kinda sensitive! ha ha ha ha ha Yeah right, by this age, I've accepted it! Hugs again, Kathy

Dee Marie (dee_marie) | 460 comments Hey Kathy, 60 is the new 40 :]


message 766: by Penelope (new)

Penelope (PARiley) | 39 comments Glad to hear that then I will only be 41 in June!!!


message 767: by Dee (new)

Dee Marie (dee_marie) | 460 comments Life is Good :]


message 768: by Penelope (new)

Penelope (PARiley) | 39 comments Have not tagged anyone yet but will get to that next week. Too many deadlines right now. I think that will take me a whole day to hit everyone!


message 769: by Maria (new)

Maria | 77 comments Hi Todd, I've noticed that my book 'A Time to Tell' is still not showing on the 'Tag You're It' page - I submitted in March and it's showing on the submission page - I've also tagged loads of books from the 'Tag You're It' page, so shouldn't my book be on there by now? Is there something else I have to do??


message 770: by Todd Fonseca (new)

Todd Fonseca | 489 comments Maria,
Thank you for pointing this out.
It's very strange, I have tagged your book on Amazon though it wasn't on the webpage. Odd.
Regardless, it is there now:
http://tagmybookonamazon.wordpress.co...
So sorry for this and thank you so much for bringing it to my attention.
Let's go tag Maria everyone!
Todd


message 771: by Maria (new)

Maria | 77 comments Thank you Todd! You're great!


message 772: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Ross | 14 comments I just started tagging books, but I'm having a great time doing this. I've already had a few tags on my book. I've also found some books I want to read. I don't just rush in and tag each book though. I take the time to read the synopsis while I'm there.


message 773: by Todd Fonseca (new)

Todd Fonseca | 489 comments Michelle,
Great to hear! That's why I decided to include the synopsis info so that folks would have the opportunity to perhaps find a book they'd like and pick up a copy - tags + sales!
Good luck!
Todd



message 774: by David (new)

David Korinetz | 77 comments Hi everyone.

FireDrakes is number 10 in the list for the 'Dragons' tag. That places it on the second page when looking at all the 'Dragons' tagged books. I need 6 more tags to make it to the number 9 spot, which will place me on the first page. hint hint hint... :)

Diane Giurco | 22 comments David I went to tag your book but I don't see ANY tags or cover page.Am I in the right place?

Hi Maria, I have both tagged and shelved you now. If you have time, and haven't already done it, would you tag Ferryman for me, please. Just tick the first few tags there will be fine.

Jan 20 I asked for my book Spellbound to be added. It doesn't seem to be showing up on the tag list, either. It still shows on the submission page. I meant to say something sooner but life distracted me...and then I forgot. :o)

I'm all caught up on tags now, including Maria's.

Diane Giurco | 22 comments Your book is now tagged David. Would you mind tagging mine The Adventures of Willy and Nilly?

Bernadette (bernadettesimpson) I'm a bit behind in tagging but will catch up next week. Thanks to all who have tagged An ABC Escapade through Egypt!

Sorry! Not sure how I added your other two books and missed this one...

That's ok, Todd. Life is busy and distracting for us all. :o)

message 792: by Penelope (new)

Penelope (PARiley) | 39 comments Thanks Bess. Now I have to try to concentrate on my writing and finishing my book trailer. Things have been pushed off in the last couple of months with my mom but now I can have some time to myself and start in again.
I also can start doing my book signings and promoting myself.

message 793: by Todd Fonseca (new)

Todd Fonseca | 489 comments Just finished updating TMBOA with new books and complete reformat of the "tagging" page to make it easier for new folks and us old folks to keep track...

Let me know what you think!

Todd Fonseca | 489 comments Thanks Kathy!


message 796: by Carole (new)

Carole (casutton) | 223 comments Excellent Todd! It's so much quicker dealing with the latest ones first. Also, separating the 'older' ones off into months breaks it down into more comfortable chunks for the new taggers. I shall look forward to seeing my tag numbers rise in the next few days!


message 797: by Dee (new)

Dee Marie (dee_marie) | 460 comments Hey Todd,

Have you reviewed Beyond my Control One Man's Struggle with Epilepsy, Seizure Surgery & Beyond by our very own, Stuart Ross McCallum?

It was amazing! I highly recommend the read!


message 798: by Dee (new)

Dee Marie (dee_marie) | 460 comments Hey Todd
Love the new and even easier to get around intro to tagging page.

Just got caught up on all the tagging for May. The best part about tagging (and worst part of my bank account) is finding new and exciting authors.

Thanks to Goodreads.com I now have a huge stack of books just waiting for me to finish my Harry Potter marathon. It is going to be a great summer of reading!
