What are tags?
Tags in biblophile are labels that help you categorise and filter books based on theme, mood, genre etc. Basically “playlists” of the books. Traditionally, something like a bookshelf, but more dynamic.
For example, you can tag a single book as ‘mystery’, ‘history’, and/ or ‘fiction’. Whereas in a physical bookshelf, if you place a book in one shelf that’s it.
You can create your own tags to make organisational systems without any limitations.
Benefits of Creating Custom Bookshelves with Tags:
1. Ultimate Personalization for Every Reader
Biblophile’s tagging system puts you in control. You can organize books according to your personal tastes. From ‘comfort reads’ to ‘books that made me cry’. It reflects your identity as a reader and evolves with your changing interests.
2. Simplified Book Organization
Tags eliminate clutter. Instead of scrolling endlessly through hundreds of ‘to be reads’, you can search by mood, author, or topic. It’s the fastest way to turn your digital chaos into a beautifully structured library.
3. Enhanced Book Discovery and Recommendations
By tagging books consistently, Biblophile can offer smarter recommendations. Over time, the platform learns your preferences and helps you discover hidden gems that align perfectly with your reading habits.

Custom bookshelves help you track progress. Create a ‘2026 Reading Challenge’ tag or ‘TBR (To Be Read)’. You can instantly see how far you’ve come and stay motivated.
5. Effortless Access to Your Favourite Genres and Themes
With a few clicks, you can jump from “Historical Fiction” to “Books Set in Paris” without hunting through your list. It’s an intuitive system that saves time and enhances enjoyment.
