Library Thing Tuesday (62) + picture of Emmy

Today Wendi asks about tagging: Do you tag? If so, do you tag for your own purposes (make lists, sort, clouds, etc)? Do you tag to help classify a book (historical fiction, self-help, sci-fi, mystery, etc)? What is the most helpful thing for you about tagging?

I tag my books on LibraryThing. First, I tag by genre. Then I add other applicable tags such as ARC, signed, favorite, or TBR. I also tagged all the 1001 Books to Read before you Die that I have read. I do think that the tagging has helped me snag my 11 Early Reviewer books, but who knows?

I've also started to add labels to my blog posts. I am labelling book reviews by publisher. I also note whether the book fulfills any challenge requirements (i.e. ARC Challenge, LT Author Challenge, etc). I've recently added a Debut category and am thinking of adding a year published label.

***********************************
Lest you think Emmy and Finn get along all the time, I've been trying to capture one of Emmy's twice daily Finn smackdowns on film. It's difficult, so forgive the lackluster results. In the morning, the smackdown usually occurs on this rug:


And in the evening, Emmy likes to hang out in this Longaberger magazine basket (a gift from my Aunt Linda) and Finn likes to attack her. She'll take it for a few minutes, and launch out of the basket and pin him down. Hilar!

  4. Vlog or not those little felines are typical siblings except they give me cavities from being so sweet. Also like the Longaberger - I used to collect them when I was a /teenager/ if you can believe it. Now they live in boxes in my basement.

  6. OMG-those pics are adorable! It must be so much fun watching the two of them play together. I remember when Buddy was young and I lived with my cousin, her dog and mine would just go nuts together. It was hilarious.

  12. VIDEOS, yes!

    My kitties run laps around the house chasing each other at 4am. It sounds like the thundering herd!

    Sometimes one kitty will hide behind a door and then jump out for sneak attack. I love the jump outs!

    Thanks for the pics. I needed my fix!

    P.S. Yes, I use tags, categories and SEO helpers!

  15. p.s. Kaitlin wanted me to tell you that Muffin does the same thing to Abby - two smackdowns a day. And yes, Abby deserves it because she's a PEST!

  18. Linda - The basket was full of magazines until we let our neighbors borrow it for their wedding party. When they brought it back, Emmy claimed it, and we didn't have the heart to take it away from her.

  21. So sweet, even when they are wrestling!
    My cat play-fights with our dogs all the time - I've come to see that cats are all about sneak attacks, strategy and patient planning.
