The ability to apply tags to a batch of books #976

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Nope, no problem, just a desire.

Describe the solution you'd like To be able to select multiple books and apply a tag to all of them at once.

Describe alternatives you've considered After digging around in the .db file (I have zero experience with SQL so hopefully I didn't screw things up) I was able to figure out how to apply a tag to a lot of books at the same time. It saved me a TON of time!

Additional context Audible does not have a category for LitRPG books, so I cannot search for them in the Libation UI. I just downloaded several hundred of them from the audible plus catalog and I wanted to ensure I knew just what the heck some of these books are about down the road.

And an additional thanks - this thing rocks!

I'm not sure if/when I'll be ready to take on this feature. Here's a note to more ambitious future me: expand the functionality of the 'visible books' menu so it can be applied to any selection of books.

That said, this is already possible ...kinda

In the visible books menu you can replace tags. This will apply to all books in the grid. So if you're good with the search filter: ta-da. This would probably be most useful for searching for a certain author or series.

The replace tags option works pretty well, so I'll start using that. Thanks for your time man, much appreciated.
