how do you guys track your reading or do you just use goodreads?
I think people get too caught up in the tracking
The app I use keeps track of my history, but I rarely look at it
I don’t track at all.
I use goodreads
Mines just good, old-fashioned pen&paper list. I make my own yearly diary so I’ve included 6 lined Reading List pages at the start 🙂
i write all the books i read in a journal ?
Goodreads
I keep a book journal. Old school with fountain pen.
wow super nice journal, are those quotes ???
@Heleen No. It’s the number (coloured / different colours for different months). Title, author, time I need to read the book, genre, pages, rating.
I don’t really track. Amazon does a good job of telling me what books i already bought. I always buy used there. Occasionally I use goodreads. I do buy duplicates on occasion. Unintentionally.
I use Goodreads
Notebook and pen
I bullet point journal what I’ve read, whether I would recommend it or not and all that! I just like journaling though so that’s my way haha
Goodreads
Yep, Goodreads. Will be 11 years in January.
wow, I rlly think that app is a game changer for me ^^ it’s so fun to see the tracking and I mostly comment on the page I’m currently on :p
I’ve had a journal that I’ve used since 2004. I write the title & author & date I start it. At the end of the year, I total it. I also keep monthly totals, & write in the ones that I borrow fro Overdrive since I use my Kindle. That way I can see how much I’ve saved
total pages or how much you spent on the book
Mine is mostly old fashioned pen and notebook but I have used Goodreads. It is just easier, for some reason, for me to write it down than add it online. You will find a way that is easiest for you. ?
Good old pen and notebook
Goodreads, a spreadsheet, and my bujo/planner
I use goodreads, an app called called reading list and I have a notebook I write everything down in (books read/bought, Challenge information and a review of each book I read).
@Megan thanks! Started using reading list
All good…I find it works well for me and has everything I need. I mainly use it when I’m to slack to update goodreads.
@Megan Woww….and you able to track all this ??
@Nita yep have been using every method for about 3 years and haven’t missed a book, I always make the last day of the month the day where I double check that everything is recorded and then on the 31/12 I always triple check and set up my shelves and book for the next year.
@Megan This is really great ?
Goodreads plus a list I have going for 5 and 1/2 years plus my reading journal.
Goodreads always. Not sure what else there is.
I’ve been using these journals for years….
@Jodi how neat!
@Brandy – I love these journals. This company has a ton of different topics to choose from, but I only use the book journals. ?
Just goodreads…but I’d love to do a book journal. But I don’t keep up with my planner well enough to commit yet through.
I use goodreads
I started using goodreads this year, maye eventually i’ll keep a book journal. wish I’d started years ago as I love to keep track of what/how much I’m reading
I’ve got a little notepad with all the books I need and I’m that much for a freak I like to work out how many pages I read in one week ?
I use good reads ?
also Bookly app for iphone
Yes only Goodreads
2019 I’m going to use Goodreads. Plus i wanted another reading challenge. Never done one but two didn’t seem like enough so I downloaded the Goodreads app to do the 2019 challenge. A trifecta of reading challeneges to motivate me.
I use Goodreads but I still get duplicates…hmmm this book seems familiar ? I use Goodreads mainly to find books ?
Goodreads
I stopped tracking a couple of years ago; it started to take away from my time for reading! ?✌️
Goodreads.
Goodreads and Litsy
Goodreads, a spreadsheet (page count/book count), and a journal. I’m a little OCD. Hahaha!
Goodreads!
Goodreads doesn’t count all of mine ?
I use Goodreads.
I use goodreads, but for Christmas my husband got me a reading journal – and I love it!! So now I’m using both
Goodreads is fantastic for tracking reading Bookbub looks good too
I don’t bother to track the amount of books I read, I just read! But I love goodreads where I can review the odd book that hit me in the bread basket (for better OR worse), and I keep my wish list there because I keep forgetting what books I want!t ^_^
Goodreads is primary because of its huge database and integration with kindle. I also use evernote to manually enter books and typically a line or two of comment on what I liked about it.
I keep track on my blog and on Goodreads.
I like Goodreads because it keeps track of when I finished the book.
I also have online calendar, but that only lists books read and to be read, but not the time frame.
I need the completion date for when I post my reviews. ?
I use goodreads. I find it convenient especially while walking around the bookstore.
Goodreads and my reading journal
Goodreads and spreadsheet
I don’t use anything. I tried using goodreads before but had to stop. I love to reread books through the year and can only count them as reading them once. In my world I should be able to count each time I read a book even if I read it twice in the same year.
@Sabra Goodreads changed this some time ago. You can now add multiple dates read to books, and I’m pretty sure they count in your challenge even if you read them in a prior year.
I don’t count, I never have. On avg I read two-three books a week. But I’m into the number of books, I don’t care about that. I’m into the growth from books.
Going to add them to my bullet journal this year.
Goodreads
I seem to always forget what I’ve read?
I keep a note in my phone and Goodreads
Just GoodReads. I would love to journal it too but I’m not organized enough to find the time and energy for that. ?
I use Book Crawler
