I wish I had a barcode scanner that could put them all into Goodreads for me! Far too many to put them all in, so they usually just get added when I read them.

Doesn’t your version have a scan option? I can access my Goodreads on my phone while I am out or tablet at home.

I don’t know if my lack of phone signal at my house is the issue, but when I try to scan using the Goodreads app, it just keeps thinking about it and doesn’t pull it up.

I don’t see where you add the books you already own just the ones you want to read. Unless you create a bookshelf on there for that.

I added a lot of my Amazon books but I have thousands…I wasn’t sure if that would clog up my friends’ feeds or not so I only added the ones I was actually going to read. I have lots of freebies.

I’m not adding books till I reread them as I’m not 100% sure when I read them all?

GoodReads is perfect for keeping track of that stuff. I forget when I read a book and just go into the app and look.

Belynda

Well, I mean I didn’t get goodreads till I’d already been reading 23 yrs. and some of my books I last read when I was young. So I’m putting them in when I reread them

no, a lot on my list is stuff I don’t own, only a fraction is of what I actually own, I have a lot on my shelf, so when I get through so much on my list via the library I go through my own stash and as I am getting ready to read I place it on the list.

Would love to put my collection on Goode ads or a similar site. Too many to do, however. Would take years. A scanner would help.

The goodreads app has a scanner if my memory serves me correctly.

I had kept a written list and added them all to Goodreads a couple of years ago. It took a lot of work, but now it is so easy to add books as they are read. I also keep adding to my “to read” list.

You don’t have to scan. You can just type in the titles and add them.

@Kristyn luckily yes, because I have a lot of books without barcodes! ?

Kristyn

I have added all of the books I own and have read. My tbr books I add as I read them. Unfortunately, I can’t remember all the books I’ve read but don’t own. I add those if I see one and remember it.

No, because I’m in a phase where I probably will get rid of some books right after I read them. Lots of them are in boxes, trying to read them empty, not succeeding very well but still trying ?
