Readers-tracking books

Readers, do you have some way you track books as you read them or one's you want to read?  Twice in the last 6 months I've picked up a book in a series by an author I really like, to realize that I've already read that one.  The multiple paper lists I have just aren't cutting it!

Re: Readers-tracking books

  • Do you use GoodReads at all?

    I really like the site because I can keep track of what I've read, what I want to read, see what some of my friends are reading, and even suggest books to people.  I *think* you can even link it thorugh Facebook to post what you're currently reading, but I'm not 100% sure...

  • Ditto Goodreads.
  • I just use a Word document, so I can easily update it (I italicize books I've already read and color-code them by year, if I'm keeping track of that sort of thing). My local library is pretty small, so I've been requesting books from my list and then picking them up there. That way I don't have to print out my list and take it with me (although I do have an abbreviated list on my phone just in case).

  • Ditto to Goodreads.  If you have a smartphone, there is an app.  Very handy when you're at the library and cannot remember the name of the book you wanted to check out!

  • Another rec for goodreads. I love it.  I track what I want to read, what i liked, hated, what I read when, etc.

    Love Nora! Did you know she's semi-local? She has a bookstore in Boonsboro and does signings every few months. It's really neat! I once read a quote by her that said something like "I want to die at my computer writing a book after really good sex when I'm 108".

    Agh! I've read at least 90% of her books but have often ended up picking up a re-release with a new cover because I can't tell that it's one I've read already. I love her, but it drives me nutso.

    Another vote for Goodreads here! I haven't used it much lately only because I haven't been reading a ton, but I adore the site. I love being able to so easily track what I'm reading, and most importantly, what I WANT to read. I can access it from my phone at the bookstore to add items, or at the library to refer to my To Read list and grab some stuff quickly.

    I knew she was semi local.  Might need to take a weekend road trip to her store.
