All of the above 🙂
I try to migrate everything to Goodreads eventually however.
Goodreads!
Amazon wishlist.
This way when I’m ready to buy one, it’s already there.

Goodreads. It also alerts me when there is a sale on one of the ebooks.
Goodreads and overdrive wishlist

Goodreads and in my bullet journal.
That is so cute! Do you color the spines in once you’ve finished them?
Yes, I do. I just started this tbr list.
Very cool!
Definitely Goodreads

I have a notebook of books I’ve read, since 2000, but struggle to find a way to keep track of my wish list.
Maybe start a new notebook with TBR’s? I’m planning on highlighting the name once I’m done reading.
I just started a new notebook. Somehow I can’t get into the groove of good reads. ( oops! I think I just dated myself with that phraseology)
Good reads and a note on my phone so I can add with voice dictation. I then go back and add to good reads.
I add to goodreads as well after I read it.
Neither can I. I update my list whenever I log in but I’m a bit of a nerd with journals and writing so a notebook works best for me.
Goodreads!
Oh, hey, I just remembered! For my daughter’s TBR list, our library’s OPAC allows users to create lists, so I keep all the books to check out in a series of lists. (She’s 3-months old, so she has very little say in what goes on the lists. My husband thinks getting her own library card was a thinly veiled ploy on my part to double the number of books I can check out at a time, and he’s not wrong.)
All of the above! ?
Are you referring to the random books on my nightstand, my desk, on the shelves on my bookshelf and in my cart on Amazon?
In plain sight, basically.
I made a collection on my Kindle called “Samples”. You can download samples of books for free. So when I come across a book I want to read, I download the sample and put it in my Samples collection. That is my TBR list. If a book isn’t on Kindle, I take a screen shot of the cover from Amazon or Barnes and Noble’s website and put it in a folder entitled “Books” in my phone. Works for me. 🙂
Good reads and paper lists
Notebook, Pinterest board, screenshots lol
That’s what I am trying to consolidate!
My Amazon wish list. Once i read it or receive it, I delete it. Books I have that I haven’t read are in a stack in my bedroom. Once I read a book on Kindle I delete it, so everything on Kindle is ‘to be read’.
Me too. Same methods.

Goodreads for TBR. Collectorz software for owned/ read synced to cloud for shopping (to review to avoid buying dupes)
Goodreads and a Notebook and a separate Notebook to keep track of challenges and I also mark a challenge down on a study card and put it in an envelope, which I seal once I’ve finished the challenge ??
FictFact
Goodreads. Then I have a list each year of the books I read. I love looking back at them.
Guess I should expand on that. I love FictFact. They keep lists of series of all genres. I can mark what I’ve read, what’s to be read, and what’s done. They let me know when a new book has been added to a series and when an author I follow has a new series. Obviously, this works for series, not so much for single books. I do also use Goodreads and Amazon, but FictFact is my go-to.
Goodreads
alphabetized in piles in my bedroom
Goodreads and a notebook.
Goodreads
On my phone so I have it to recommend a good book or when someone recommends one and as a handy reference when I head to the library.
Each year I set a goal of how many books I read then keep a document of the titles and authors. Plus I use Goodreads.
Goodreads. Always.
I have mine in 2 crates. And I just stare at them trying to decide what’s next.
I take screen shots of books I find online that look good lol. I have a book list folder in my phone, and on Instagram you can save posts under certain categories.
To read app on my iPhone! I can add books I want to read and check them off as read when I’m done.
I like good reads but I also have a special book shelf for my tbrs that I own.
All of you sound so organized! I don’t keep a list I just read what is available from the library. If it is something I want to read and it’s not available I request it .
I have to keep a list somewhere or I will forget. ? So many good books out there. Not enough time.
Same. I kept buying multiple copies of multiple books
Little spiral notebooks that I keep downstairs, upstairs by the computer, and bedside. I often go right to the library’s website and request a book that I read about on this site. Which is why I always have a dozen books checked out at any given time.
I only keep track of books I have read, not what is on my shelves to read.
Goodreads
Goodreads if I don’t own the book. A list on my phone if it’s something I think I might buy from the bookstore where I work. Otherwise, I have beautiful piles of books all around my house!
I use the Book Buddy app on my iPhone.
I don’t… I have a list on Amazon and thriftbooks… and I ‘wander’ thru other book lists
My library website has a “for later” shelf. Then it is easy to find out if the title is available and request it. I also put books in my amazon cart until they are available through the library.
We either use the same library or our libraries use the same system – also same ladt name ?
I make notes on my iPhone or random bits of paper and transfer them to a little notebook.
LibraryThing
Goodreads
Amazon Wishlist
Goodreads and stacks on bookshelves!
On my Kindle and bookshelves! No organization at all…?
Notes in my ipad
I keep a partial list in a notebook, and samples in my kindle. I also keep a list in my purse of books I’m looking for good used copies of.
Also I can make lists on my library’s website.
Notes on my iPhone.
I do a list every year on Word, print it out at the end of the year and put it in a file folder. I have lists back from 1995. If there is a book I’m not sure I read, I go on Amazon and check out publication date then go to the list of that year. Am I obsessed with reading or what??
http://librarything.com/ All my books and all the books I’ve read since the late 1990s are cataloged there. They have a Wishlist category where I put the things I don’t yet own but would like to read . . . then change the category once I read them.
Goodreads and notepad in computer
I use goodreads and a notebook
Pages in my bullet journal and Excel Spreadsheet for books that sound interesting that are suggested by podcast
goodreads all the way
I keep track on a excel sheet
Goodreads
I don’t keep track of TBR.
I’ve been using Excel sheets for a while. I have one for TBR, Read, Owned, and To Purchase. My TBR sheet includes a formula that will select a title at random for my next read so I don’t have to go through and pick one. lol.
I have begun to use Goodreads recently through.
I don’t lol I read what I fancy when I have read what I am reading lol I do however use Goodreads to keep some kind of track of what I have read.. Not that it matters much coz I am a re-reader 😀
I keep a list each year in a notebook.
Notebook now but I may move to iPad notes.
note book. i love writng things down, the use of paper and pen. but i also love tryping, but not storing things in the computer
In Overdrive, I put them on my wish list. I also use OneNote for books, movies, and TV series. I don’t think I can possibly live long enough …
Fictfact, but they only do series. Great website though and it is free! I also, this is weird, download things on to my iPad, and use the Kindle app as a browsing library, then I go to my Kindle to read it. My paper books, I just put on shelves and browse them once in a while.
My library account has a ‘for later’ shelf.
Goodreads
Amazon wish list
I use Goodreads, but don’t. If I see something here that I don’t want to forget about I’ll add it to Goodreads. But I don’t have them organized in anyway and its just a big jumble so I don’t really use it.
Wishlists in Kindle and Audible apps.
Goodreads.
mine are cramming my shelves ??♀️
If I see/hear of something I might want to read, I put it on a list in my phone. When I finish a book, I’ll check my list, read reviews, etc.
goodreads
My “someday list” is in a spiral notebook with brief note on where I saw it or read the review. There’s a spot for the request date from my online library catalog, then I check it off when the book arrives.
Mine is mostly the very low-tech system of “piles of books left everywhere”…
Goodreads
Goodreads it’s the only thing I could keep updated- paper never seemed to work
All of the above!
