News on my Journal...

I have almost 400 pill reviews posted on my live journal and for me it's simple to find what I search (for every review I have added tags for name author and publishers) but for other people is not so simple. Fortunately (unfortunately cause I'm not so good in English to write always what I had in mind...) lately some people have said to me that they read my reviews to choice a book!!! and I have also noticed some friends who have linked me but never comment (so I suppose they only read). All this to say that I have added a section on my side toolbar: "Main Tags". I have tried to find general (main) tags for all the books I have read. There are genre tags like:

Contemporary
Erotica (M/F)
Futuristic
Historical
Paranormal
Yaoi (manga)

And sub-genre tags like:

Angels
College
Cops
Cowboys
Demons
Elves
Firefighters
Ghosts
Military
Pirates
Shapeshifters
Sheikhs
Show Business
Sports
Twincest
Vampires

Demons is the tag more troubled... I have tagged under it also some novels that deal with gods and some other strange creatures (like incubus and succubus). Also Show Business is wide, I have tagged under it also the novels dealing with various artists. Under College there are not only student/student relationship but also professor/professor or student/professor. Finally I was uncertain if create a tag "May/December" but I have a doubt: what is the age difference range to define a book a "May/December" relationship?

So friends, I ask you help: first of all, is it a useful thing or I have lost my afternoon doing it? do you think I have all the necessary tags? Have I committed some "huge" mistake in my classification (I can change, no problem...)

ETA: Added the May / December tag! Thanks Angie and Jules!!!

Out of My Mind by M.L. Rhodes

Rafferty and Nick are partners. Work partners. Both detective for police in Maine since 4 years. And Rafferty is married; or unless he was married since two months before. He has found his wife in bed with another man and immediately files the divorce. Strange he is not mourning too much over it. It's long that he has stopped to love and desire his wife. And instead he has begun to deside his partner... How could it be possible? He is straight! And so is Nick! Or not? One faithful night abroad with his small boat they remain trapped in a rainstorm and in the little cabin the passion flares. But the morning after Raff is full of fear and doubts, and Nick, who is really gay and with a bad experience behind, doesn't know how to reassure his friend, now lover.

This is a medium long ebook, 100 pages, and it goes smoothly and fast. Raff and Nick are both positive characters, maybe a little too positive. Raff is a good cop, very friendly and calm; he considers himself boring and not attractive. Instead Nick, younger than 6 years, is the classical good and handsome guy, the type every woman wants, and apparently also some man... But Raff, 35 years older, when deals with feeling is like a teenager with his first crush. He wants and then he has fear, he reaches forward and then backs away... And Nick is so comprehensive. Well maybe I'd like a bit more of angry.
