I keep the list on my phone though it’s not comprehensive. There are more books on Goodreads but some of those are ones I’m not as thoroughly interested in.

I keep a list of read and to-read book on Goodreads. I also keep a spreadsheet of the book series. This way I know how may books are in the series, which of the books I have read and notes on upcoming releases for that series. Yes… I am an ultra book nerd. ?

Yes. I had some personal lists and then found a few online websites that had lists that I wanted to use. I finally did a copy-and-paste onto a word documents (it’s very long) and had it printed and spiral-bound to keep as a reference. I’ll never get through it all in one lifetime, but it’s nice to have it there when I’m in the mood for a series or want more books by a particular author; I don’t have to go look it up online each time.

Yes all the time I actually have a note book by author’s name…but this does not include books I own only ones I do not own…I actually add to it from posting on this sight…As a little girl I once said I wanted to read every book in the library – not a very realistic goal….One can dream….

@Jenn It’s chronic,isn’t it? Must admit though – sometimes when I am too tired to read I trawl through Amazon looking for books to add to my tbr list! ‘People who bought ……..also bought ………’ is the start of many a rewarding hunt for books I might miss???
