My library has an app that you can make your list in and then move them onto a wait list or check them out if available. . I also use Goodreads too.

I have an Amazon list with upcoming releases. When they’re released I download a sample to read, just to determine if I would want to read the entire book. Then the book is added to 2 lists: a separate library list on Amazon, and a “TBR” list through my local library system. The reason for the two lists: the library’s website is a pain to navigate on phone (they don’t have an app), while Amazon is a lot easier to pull up if I’m out shopping, and want to check what’s on my list. My physical TBR pile is kept to specific shelves in my bookcase.

I just walk through library stacks and pick what strikes me. List? WAY too much organization in my life! The books I buy with Christmas gift B&N cards, I donate to library after I read them.

I use an excel spreadsheet that covers all of my book related lists – what I’ve read, what I’ve bought, new books coming out, etc.

Good idea … ?

It took some time to set up but is easy to maintain. Plus I put it in Dropbox so it’s on my desktop computer and iPhone so when I’m in a bookstore, I can check my lists so I don’t buy a book that I already have.

I have piles on. My nightstand. The read first pile, the read when I finish the first pile pile and the read eventually pile. I never know what mood I’m going to be in when I choose my next read.

A spread sheet and I have the corresponding numbers in a Tupperware bowl. It is fun to choose my next read by drawing a number. My rule is that I have to read the book I “draw” or toss it out.
