I have become a tagging fool. I do it in the morning while drinking coffee. I am approaching 30 and would be fine with more. I will add my address.

I just voted and you're up to 68.

Just voted, Todd. You are now up to 25 -- well done,

/Wow Todd this is really working. I need to enter an travel book contest for baby boomers. This is really doable.]]]
So a few folks have asked me to add a page to the blog so that everyone can try out this experiment of voting on goodreads. I created such a beast and am looking for volunteers to take a test run at it.
If interested, come check it out here:

Thanks all!
Great idea Todd! I just voted and noticed you're at #20..I added my book, The Net Present Value of Life on your wordpress blog.
Thanks.
This seems like a great idea. Let me plop my book here and start fishing back through and seeing what I can tag. Got a good half an hour before bed. If I see some action I'll definitely come back and get everybody who came after!http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003OQUOFI

Great idea on the Listopia voting Todd! I just worked my way down the list (thankfully it's still short) and added my own. I'll be visiting again to vote on further books.As for tagging, here's my book:
http://www.amazon.com/Cat-Cradle-Jay-...
http://www.amazon.com/Cat-Cradle-eboo...
Jay is tagged. be sure to return the favor. I am above at 1753http://www.amazon.com/Living-Beneath-...
Wow, I did not know that both the hard and paper backs has two separate tagging sites. Thanks again Jay. I guess I will have to ask the other 42 people who tagged my paper back to go and tag my hard back site.
Thanks again Jay. I do not know who added some of those outrageous tags. Angle, animals, animals, fiction etc. I tried to edit them out. my tags should be Travel, India, adventure, autobiography, and friggin good but they did not have a tag for the last one.

i tried to post two comments, but i haven't seen them on the page just yet. did i do something wrong?
The Listopia experiment was good for me on the first day, but hasn't moved since then. Anyone care to give "The Cat in the Cradle" a boost? I've been stuck at "lucky" 13 for a while now! ;)http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/39...
Hey everyone. I have made an group purely for helping authors on Amazon. I want it to be a "one stop shop" type of group. SO please feel free to leave your comments or drop some ideas!http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/3...

Okay, I tagged the books I had not yet tagged before. I have also added your old tags, Lori, to make sure people will be able to quickly vote on them.Please everyone, feel free to tag my books on Amazon also

Hi Lori,I have just tried to re-tag your book, but it would not accept my ticks. I see you have one tick for each tag so far -- whenever I tried it sent me off to another page telling me to get a 'Real name.'Has anyone else had any trouble?
Carole Sutton (Real name!)
Hi Lori,'Real Name' request -- what a palaver. I tried one more time but they wouldn't let me tick until I had filled in more forms. I've always used my real name anyway, so I don't know what it was all about. However, at last I voted on your tags and even added one for you (Goodreads author.
I hope you get your reviews back soon.
Cheers
Carole

Okay Todd, I have copied my review on your fb review page. Have I done this correctly? I don't see any other reviews there yet. BTW I love that new cover, it says a whole lot more than the original blue one!

Hi folks! I was wondering if anyone could tag the print version of my book, Dréoteth? It just went live a few days ago. I'll catch up on this thread for anyone I haven't tagged yet as soon as I can.
Thanks!

You've been tagged. Please reciprocate for: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1605...
Thank you, Alice
Hi Danielle,Dreoteth duly tagged -- would appreciate tags from you for And the Devil Laughed http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1849...
For some reason this book is lagging way behind my first book in the tagging count. So, would love some more tags please.
Crime fiction,murder mystery,rape survivor and more if you have the patience to tick them! :)
Thanks All,
Carole
Good morning Folks,Can anyone tell me why there are no ticks on my own list of tags, please? I did originally tag them and the red ticks remained for many months - then one day they disappeared. I re-ticked them and they stayed for a couple of weeks , but now I see they have gone again.
The book concerned is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1849...
On my page the boxes beside the tags suggested are empty - except one which I added 'crime fiction' when I noticed recently that is was absent. It had been there originally, I'm sure of it.
Puzzled,
Carole

I hope the two-star and controversial ratings and reviews to get publicity work...two stars for being Heart broken?
Thank you JR for your tag, greatly appreciate it.I still do not understand why it won't record my tags. Normally when you look at the tagging box you see your own tags marked as red ticks in the box. Mine won't appear except on the one tag 'crime fiction,' where there is only one tag. I find that hard to believe.If anyone can tell me why my tags don't show, I'd like to know.
