How I did it: I joined with a lifetime membership right off the bat. I wasn't kidding around. I spent months gradually entering all my books by title. Each book as a minimum of two tags; many have more! Your library is displayed in full color by cover. You can click on your tag and look at all of your "Urban Fantasy" books or all of your "Vampire Literature" books, for instance.
