And two new categories…
First things first, I (Serenity) need to start with reminding you that when a book is added to the site, we do our best to ensure all of the tags are added, but we cannot physically read the books released each day to add every tag. Some are added months in advance and the look inside feature doesn’t exist until a book goes live. We rely on you guys with the reading superpowers to help add tags and help each other. If you see a book with missing tags, you can suggest them. If you see a book with the wrong tags, remember, we’re human and mistakes happen, but if you can message the site, we can happily update them for everyone!
After our site survey, we went away and looked at what we needed to do to be able to accomplish everything and in order to make things work smoothly, a lot of things are currently being rebuilt from scratch. In order to not disrupt the functioning of the site, we’re making the changes separately to make sure they work. In short, you can’t see a lot of what we’re doing, but a LOT is happening!
One thing that will be implemented on the site is a review of our verified authors. The sole purpose of this verification was that you as a reader would know the tags would be as accurate as possible because the author would update them. We’re currently running a manual check to see which authors have been active on the site and will be requesting they review their pages. Once that’s happened, any featured author will only be ones with comprehensive tags. For transparency, at no point have authors paid to have anything “promoted”. Featured books are chosen by me using the Random Book feature. If it’s a standalone, I will use it, and if it’s part of a series, I switch it to the first book in the series.
But onto the new tags!
There were a few tag suggestions made which haven’t been implemented now. For things like book length, we need to have the site work differently and that requires some playing on our beta site so we don’t screw things up! Don’t worry, there will be more!

New Category – Sports
Previously, Sports was an uncategorised tag. This has now become a new category and presently all books with tag have defaulted to “Sport – Other”.
- American Football
- Basketball
- Baseball
- Cheerleading
- Football – some of you will call this soccer
- Gymnastics
- Ice Hockey
- Ice Skating
New Category – Mental Health
We recognise that while mental health issues can lead to mental health D=disabilities, they are not mutually exclusive. “Disability – Mental” remains in the Disability category, we’ve added a new category to capture some of the mental health issues for those that might want to read about characters they can relate to. These are currently quite generic but if we see certain tags being used a lot, we can look at being more specific if needed. Any that were also listed under the Trigger Warnings will also remain there.
- ADHD
- Anxiety
- Autism
- Bipolar Disorder
- Depression
- Eating Disorder
- OCD
- Personality Disorder
- Psychotic Disorder
- PTSD
- Self Harm
- Substance Abuse
Super Mod got really excited and spotted additional tags before I’d even finished updating them. Yes, she’s happily going updating books that she can, but she is one person and there are over 16,000 books. Not only is it going to take time for her to work her magic, she hasn’t read all of the books. Please, please help us out by suggesting tags if you see them missing.
As always, if you click on a tag, it will take you to a list of all the books with that tag.
Tags are also searchable on the tag page. We did make it so that clicking on a book opens a new tab so that you don’t have to go through all the pages again, but Search does still have some issues. We are working on it!!
