How to track the books I read
It made me
happy
 "To track books I read I write their titles in my dayplanner."
How I did it: In the notes/memo space in my dayplanner pages, I write the titles of books I read. I started this because once my pastor asked me how many books I'd read. I then started writing titles as I read them into a little memo book. When I got a planner, either in high school or upon entering college, I started writing them there. Then after college when I got a more traditional planner I started doing it the way I do it now. At the end of the month I count the number, and then I keep a simple tally in another section of my planner on a blank sheet. Lessons & tips: Tips are: get a small notebook or an inexpensive day planner and then it's fairly simple to keep track of books you've read. Resources: A small memo/notebook and a dayplanner. |

More "How I Did It" stories
It made me
Feel accomplished.
How I did it: The most practical reason for keeping a list of the books you've read or own is so that you don't buy them again, or if you just want to feel really impressed with yourself... Although, those both fit my book list, that is not how it came about...When I was in college my family was planning a move and they said I had too many books to fit on the moving truck and I wouldn't notice if a box or two were left behind or "fell off the truck."&n… Read how I did it…

I never know if I’ve read a book, so sometimes when I go to bookstores I end up buying books I’ve already read.
finishing up Tom Sawyer
2 months ago
and I finished Violin and Locke and Key
Violin was quite different. Tom Sawyer was alright. I couldn’t imagine growing up then. Locke and Key was good. I’ll probably read the 2nd part.

the book chair

I just purchased the ideal chair for reading, I actually like it better than the chair and a half I have in storage back home. The right chair makes reading an incredible experience!

If I don't do this, I lose track!

I keep lists so I can remember what I’ve read, what I like, and whom I can recommend to others. It helps!

A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon
2 years ago
I love this author, and this series. Provides excellent insight into history… and much is learned about these immigrants to the then colonies of the future United States of America. The relationship between the rest of the world runs so deep… everyone in this country (USA) was at one point an immigrant.. unless you’re Native American of course. That’s a whole different perspective which is really very disturbing… many of the immigrants treated the Native People with great respect… others, as nothing. Plenty of romance too… James Fraser is indeed the perfect man - fictional of course. :)
I love Bookpedia!

I’ve downloaded Bookpedia and I LOVE this! If I see something at Amazon that I have, I can just pull the link into the Bookpedia list and the whole catalog entry gets generated for me! I can also keep a Wish List in the same way (and have). And Bookpedia will output a webpage catalog of all my books, so I can show them off! http://www.bruji.com/bookpedia/
I also like http://librarything.com (LibraryThing) where you can catalog your library AND connect with other people who have the same books.
Some ways to do this...
2 years ago
There are a couple of places related to 43things.com that can help you track books you’ve read.
At http://listsofbests.com/ you can read lists of books (award-winners, recommendations, or lists of what other people have read) and get reminded of which ones you have read. As you check them off, they are added to your list of “things consumed” at http://allconsuming.net/
Then, if you choose, you can add those books to your own list of “Books I’ve read.” All of those lists get compiled automagically into one, and you can see how many others have read the same book.
Another way of listing books you have read is at http://bookcrossing.com/ (this is not directly tied in to the 43things network; however, a number of people are members of both sites).
You do not have to release a book that you register at Bookcrossing. You can list books you are in the process of reading; then, when you have finished, list them as part of your”Permanent Collection,” or as “Available” for trade, or pass them on and list them as “Traveling.” By listing what you read at Bookcrossing, you not only keep a record of your reading, you have a chance of discussing those books with other readers. (This site comes with an Obligatory Addiction Warning.)
