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.

I'm on LibraryThing and I started using "PoC Author" (list here (http://www.librarything.com/catalog/marydell&tag=PoC%2Bauthor)) after joining this comm. I could add another tag if this comm decides on one. I would only use "50books_poc" on books I read and reviewed for the comm, not on all of my books by POC, I think.

There are only a couple of other thingers using the "PoC Author" tag...I posted to the LT comm in January or so, asking for suggestions, and most of the replies were like "I don't judge a book by the color of the author, I just read what interests me." Sigh.
