Allow titles to be associated with more than 1 category.

Right now, a title can only belong to 1 category. But many books (like romantasyor historical thrillers) straddle multiple genres. When a book is tied to only 1 category, it's not showing up on searches for the other relevant genres. For example, when you search best-selling romance books on Pango, Fourth Wing and ACOTAR don't show up, even though they are relevant to some romance readers.
Barnes and Noble, StoryGraph, and Goodreads all allow titles to be associated with multiple genres. See examples for Fourth Wing attached.

Much easier to associate books by their tags rather than genre - genre categories are too prohibitive and rigid for flexible categorization. Amazon often forces books into their limited genre choices, several of which don't really fit, simply because the book needs to be categorized somewhere. This leads to frequent misplacement and miscategorization.

100% agreed! I'd also like to see Cozy Mystery as a separate category, as those books must now be listed under mystery/thriller, which isn't accurate.
