Book logging services

I've seen a couple of people mention tagging books on LibraryThing with 'Author of Colour' etc, as a way to get recs and make lists.

I don't use LibraryThing because I refuse to pay for a service, but I am on GoodReads and Shelfari, so I was wondering if any of you have a system for organising for either of those. I haven't got into the social networking and groups aspect of those sites, but if there are Author of Colour groups and recs out there, or if any of you are cross-posting your reviews from this comm to any of those sites, it might be nice to have a resource round-up.

(mods: feel free to tag this as necessary)

ETA: A poll, to try to help gather data! Never mind, I fail at making polls. I will try to edit this later as a consensus about what tags to use emerges.

A quick Goodreads Groups search (on "authors of color" and "50books_poc") revealed nothing, although I'm sure we could create a group. I'm on GoodReads, and am "shelving" potential 50books_poc books as "nwp" (because I don't feel comfortable with the phrase "of color") and then when a book is definitely one of my 50, adding it to "50books_poc-rnd-1".

I cross-post all my reviews between here, my own LJ and Goodreads.

This is good to know.

I'm not picky about terminology, we could use 'chromatic author' for a consensus, or 'non white or of colour author' or something... I think the essential thing would be to have some kind of agreement between at least most of us on this group how we'd like to tag things so that we know instantly what shelf to look for... yes?
