What's on Your Book Shelfie?
Shelfie (n.): a selfie of your book shelf; an app that catalogs your book shelf.
Anne here. The term shelfie was introduced to me this week by Beth Erin (thanks Beth!), but when I Googled it I found it's a commonly used term. Apparently it's also an app I'm going to have to check out!
So here's my shelfie for this winter's to-be-read pile:
I'm working through Mark Patterson's if while I'm walking on the treadmill in the morning. Laura Frantz's A Moonbow Night just came in the mail last week, and I made a trip to the local bookstore for Klaassen's The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill and Phillips's The Inheritance.
I've read every single release from Frantz. This is my second read of Batterson's. I tend to read start to finish without many breaks when I read a Frantz novel. Whereas I like a slow digest over several weeks when I'm reading a nonfiction like Batterson. While I've never read Klassen novels, Phillips was second behind Jeanette Oke in forming my love of historical fiction in the 1980's when he edited George MacDonald's work for republishing.
What about you? Do your shelves have strictly one genre, or a diverse variety? Do your shelves stretch to include new authors on a regular basis? And be honest: what percentage of your shelves hold books you've intended to read but haven't managed to crack the cover? Do you catalog them or organize them?
While searching "shelfie" I came across an app by the name:
It's designed for you to snap a selfie of your bookshelf and upload it to catalog your shelves. But apparently you can also use the app to order free e-copies of the books you've purchased, and interact with authors. What good are book purchases if they sit on your shelf unread because it's not accessible during times you might read them if they were on your phone or tablet? Have any of you tried this app, or a similar one? Do you use other apps for book-sharing or author connection?

I have many books on my to read shelf. I usually buy them at the library for a dollar! Some I have already read and loved. I made two loose leaf notebook binders with Christian authors I might be interested in and my favorites! I wrote them out by hand, using authors websites or fiction DB for the information. Each lists their books in order of publication and series. Then when I read a book I mark it off-- so I can remember if I've read it or not. I also am in goodreads. They keep track for you and you can even see all the books you've read for the year! I saved mine in a PDF file to my iBooks. I am retired so I have time to do this and read of course. I do crafting, too.

That's wonderful! And so handy! When I read an author I love, I want to read everything they've written, and I want to start with the first book in a series. You've got a great way of keeping track!
