Books hashtags that earn their place.
Books has an unusually well organised tag culture: #bookstagram is a genuine community with its own conventions rather than a generic label, and genre tags function almost like subreddits. Recommendations are the currency, so the tags describing what somebody is looking for outperform the ones describing that you like reading.
The tags that work in books have a shape
The genre
Where a reader looking for their next book actually looks. It works closer to a subreddit than to a label.
The specific book or author
Somebody who has just finished a book searches for it to work out what to read next.
The community tags
#bookstagram has conventions rather than being a generic label, and posts that follow them do better inside it.

Tagging that you read rather than what you read. The genre tag is where a reader looking for their next book actually looks.
Measure them on your own posts
A saved block of tags never tells you which of them worked. Synclify reads how each tag did across your own posts and writes a set for each new post before it goes out.
