I used an Excel database too, but I had this silly rule that I couldn’t read a new book until I’d entered it in the database and eventually I stopped using it. I can break every other rule I make for myself, but that one broke me.?
the problem with Goodreads is that I need Internet to access it and it doesn’t keep track of what I have but nore what I’ve read, and even then only in recent years…
I use an app on my tablet called Book Catalog…I can keep track of whether I’ve read it or not & all sorts of other details. Very helpful when you have approx 6000 books.
I do….by genre. I highlight in green if I’ve read it. With some of my genres, especially if they are science related, I catalog the year they were copyrighted and often read them in order.
Another booklover just gave me a new place called http://libib.com/ it’s an app for the phone and a website you can use. I just started mine. I got 4 books in it. Yes they are just YA books for now. But they are the only ones sitting around the house easy to grab
I just LOVE it! My is a POS so it won’t support the app. Which means i have to manuallyenter everything. Which if you think about it, you do that anyway when you add it excel or any other data base
We use collectorz…it shows me all my pretty covers just like a library…we do the year subscription then once it expires leave it for a few years before subscribing to update it…works perfectly fine without a subscription…I just add each book as it comes home…super easy…download the Barry app and scan the barcodes straight to your computer…great when you have thousands of books.
I use an app called Books! From Sort It. It’s not perfect, but it is very helpful!!
I just started this year
I have mine listed on Goodreads – and I check there before I buy a new book – to make sure I don;t already have it
Jup on goodreads 🙂
I’ve been using an Excel database for my books since last century

I do the opposite, can’t catalogue it until it’s been read
@Sultana I should have started doing it that way.
I wish i still had excel! I had it on my OLD computer desk top. My laptop won’t honor the disk. Says it’s too old. 10 years ain’t that old ????
you could probably download a version of it by now…and any version of Excel would be fine for a library database
I’ve tried. They want me to pay over 100 for it.
I use Goodreads. Great for finding new books and keeps track of my reading challenge.
Yes!
I use goodreads. Just made a ton of categories!

In the old days i had notebooks. LOTS AND LOTS of notebooks that i kept track of my parents books. I knew what they had more than they did! ???

Wow. I maybe have 300 so now I don’t feel bad. Ha ha

Yes I do that
I use Book Catalogue. It’s a lifesaver.
That’s what I use. I love it!

I might try this

Never got around to it.
