How do you keep track of what you are reading and the books you buy and the books you finish? Need to get my stuff together!!
How do you keep track of what you are reading and the books you buy and the books you finish? Need to get my stuff together!!
Goodreads you can create an account online or use an app on your phone.
I use good reads
I don’t. I usually remember. Everything gets put on shelves together.
I do the same thing
same ^ you have the basic “read, want-to-read, currently reading” shelves and then you can create your own. I get lost in there, reading through reviews and finding new books to add to my “to-read” list
Yes! And there are groups who do monthly reading challenges, you can follow your favorite authors, and see what all of your friends are reading that way you have better grasp on new releases! And they do giveaways as well
and there’s an app. which allows you to scan a barcode for a book and be redirected to it’s page on goodreads, with the reviews, number of pages, genre, etc. it’s great to use when you’re in a bookshop and a book catches your eye but you’ve never heard of it.
oh and I also have a book journal, I got it for 7€ in a bookshop but I’m sure you can find one on amazon.
Absolutely, Goodreads!

The goodreads ap is so awesome . You can even scan books . I also have a Pinterest page of read books and a page of want to read .
Good reads
Goodreads
I use Goodreads
Goodreads and a spreadsheet
I always put a sticky note in my books saying the date I read them,a rating on how good it was, and a separate note to my daughter who will inherit them one day.The ones I haven’t read go in a different bookcase.
I have a notebook with sheet protectors and alphabet dividers.. I organized it by last name of author.. it took me a couple days to do cause I have over 500 books and I look up the series and write them all out so I’ll know what I need
I started doing this but………..failed! Lol
It’s really nice for yard sales lol
But not going to lie my living room was a disaster for awhile
One tin I do is keep a diary of finished books. Summary, critique, rating.

Goodreads!
Just started Goodreads yesterday
Goodreads 🙂
Goodreads!
Goodreads 🙂 I scan every book I buy so I don’t buy duplicates. I have an own it, read it, currently reading, and to read shelf
Goodreads.. And there are also book catalogue apps you can get for free that log all the books you keep.
Ive got a notebook with all the authors and tbeir books i want to read x
Also Goodreads
Goodreads
Goodreads is so great for organizing
Good reads, although I’ve ended up adding more and more to my to read list because of it ?
An app called Libib. I scan all the books I own (no repeat purchases) and any books I come across that I eventually want to purchase. No internet or data needed with the app which I love since. I use Goodreads to keep track of my TBR and what I’ve read.
Love Libib for keeping track of everything I own! I like to shelve by genre and format in a different way than I do goodreads shelves.
Goodreads
Goodreads all the way or I would have a clue and probs just read the same few books over and over ?
I don’t. Because I don’t, sometimes I buy a duplicate book. When that happens I give away or donate the extra book. I would rather spend time reading books than tracking them.
Goodreads is the best. I have so many different shelves. That’s the only way I can keep track of what I have read and want to read.
Another for Goodreads
I use good reads. I also have a 3 ring binder where I go to fantastic fiction to copy and paste and print out the authors list of books. Then I highlight the books that I own of each author. I love fantastic fiction because they have the authors books listed in order by series. They also tell you what books are coming out and when by author or by date for all authors.
I didn’t think of printing the lists out on fantastic fiction. You just gave me another grand idea lol
Can you show me a picture
I found it’s easier and faster to copy and paste each section one at a time. Otherwise you have to delete the pictures of the books. If you do all the books all at once it picks up the pictures too. I have lists I need to update. I usually write the new books in until a few new books come out before I update and print it out again. If that made any sense…lol
@Tammy oh it totally does lol that’s a good way, I might take this idea from you lol
This is how thick it is so far. I have a few new authors to out in there….Lol. Have fun making yours ?
@Tammy do you use the plastic dividers to put your sheets in
I don’t put them in plastic sleeves. I started that way but I was having to take them in and out too many times to highlight the books I would buy or to write and update my lists. I have alphabet dividers.
Oh ok that would be better also lol
@Tammy what does omnibus mean
Its just another way of saying that the collection/series of books is being sold together. Like bundle.
@Goodreads
Goodreads! I have only recently gotten into tracking on goodreads and my reading life is so much more organized and fulfilling. I just a mixture of exclusive and non-exclusive shelves. Just added a few more shelves last night that I haven’t started to use yet.
I have a Reading journal that I got on Amazon and I really like it.
Me too
Didn’t know there was such a thing. Hmmm.
Goodreads!
Def goodreads
Goodreads is a great tool!
Goodreads!!!
Use index cards. Easy and if I’m going to buy Books can take it along to see if I read it. Keep index cards in recipe box in alphabetical order. Works great for me
Goodreads
Goodreads
I use Goodreads to track the books I’ve read and want to read (I don’t know why still people use notebooks for this, Goodreads is so much easier! And there’s an app for your phone!) Also I have two lists on Amazon: Books I’ve read and want (I borrowed from a friend or library and want to add them to my personal collection) and books I want to read (most of the books on this list are the same on my Goodreads want to read list)
Did you do like 2 wish list on Amazon?
Yes you can change the names on the lists you put on Amazon. My “actual” wish list on Amazon is all movies because I’m also a huge movie buff lol.
If I read a book from my books I want to read list I move it to the books I’ve read and want or delete it if I didn’t like it.
Thanks @Brittany that helps a lot.
I have an “already read” bookcase and a “need to read” bookcase … as well as other bookcases for different genres and stuff but ya I have a ntr or tbr bookcase.
Goodreads also. You can scan the book in and keep track of what you’ve read and want to read and make any other shelves you want.
Goodreads
Yep, Goodreads
I don’t ??♀️???
Good reads and a notebook of the books I’ve read already
Goodreads
Goodreads for everything what I read, what I own and what I want to read
I use goodreads also LibraryThing, but I downloaded daily book app and use it as a a book journal, I read a book a day so I need to keep track. Plus I always have it with me, never know when you will be at a bookstore.
How do you read a book a day ? ??
@Maureen I’m a stay home wife, my children are grown, my hubby works long hrs and I don’t watch television. I read!
@Renee good for you! Keep
It up!!
I have an app called “My Library” I also use Goodreads.
Where did find the “My Library” app? As u can guess I very computer illiterate lol
Goodreads!
Yep!
I use Rolodes
I would be lost without my Goodreads account!
Me too!!
Me as well!
Sorry Rolodexs
I’m gonna sound like a caveman here but I use ….a notebook. 🙂
Goodreads
I also have 2 bdrms 1 for read books and for books I want to read
I only keep a select few of mine. I sell the rest
Writing in my notebook,
Goodreads
I have a notebook with all the books I’ve bought. As I read one I check it off.
Thank you for all the wonderful ideas!!!
I have a notebook with the title, author, date started, date finished, my rating, whether it’s part of a series, and format
I have a app called Book Catalogue. I love it! You just scan your books(a little time consuming) and when your finished reading the book, you just change it to read. Also the app lets you know if you have duplicates.
Going to look for this now!

A few years ago I started writing down the titles and authors in a spiral notebook. Kinda lame, but better than nothing.
Goodreads and i write down what onces ive read and what ones i need to get when i go to Ollise’s or Barnes & Noble.

Goodreads
I don’t-just mentally basically!
goodreads
I learned a long time ago to check the copyright page, if I’m not sure whether or not I’ve already read a book. Not high tech, but it saves me from buying a book I’ve read.
Yes or check to see if it was ever issued under a different title! I hate it when that happens-ending up buying the same book with different name!
@Sherryl, too true!
Goodreads, it will meet all of your needs
GOODREADS. It’s exactly what you need
I only get books from the library. My library keeps track and in my system I can go to my records and it tells me?????
That’s pretty cool. I wonder if my library does that. It’s the only way I get my books, too.
@Kathie check it out
I personalized my books with my annotations. And I take note of every lesson learned. But goodreads are great too.
Definitely Goodreads.
Goodreads. I have a notebook from my teenyears. 😀
Goodreads.
I have a notebook for the ones I own. I, during a steroid induced panic attack, decided to pull ALL the books off of my shelves and write them down by genre in an attempt to cull the hoard ?
I’ve been keeping track of what I read in that too. I don’t like relying on just one area
Goodreads job done
I’ve been using goodreads.
Goodreads, I have several notebooks as well x
Goodreads, yeah
Definitely Goodreads. The only way I can keep all my books organized.
