Book Lists

[Kaylani]

Does anyone keep a list of books that they own and books that they want to purchase?

I have been doing it because otherwise I either pass up books I'm not quite sure if I just want or if I already have or get duplicates of books I already have because I don't want to pass up a really good deal

Anybody?

I have always wanted to but wonder if it should be electronic or hand written.

I always think I will never have the list with me when I am shopping. I usually keep my Amazon wish list with the books I want or need for series. This helps me out a lot of the time.

I am making one on google documents and plan on printing it out front/back and putting it in my purse folded in a little thingy

Yes! I thought I was the only one! (And that I'm too obsessed with books lol)
I just have one written down on paper and I go through it every few weeks and either add or take away books. And I write down prices to try and find the best ones.

I used to, but now I just use Goodreads, which I'm constantly consulting :)

Funny enough, I was just thinking of this problem!

I've had this problem for a while, and been going through various methods to try and solve it - from Excel files, to Shelfari (website), to Book Crawler (iOS app). Right now though, I've decided to settle with Goodreads; hence, I've actually been fixing my bookshelves here, while fixing my bookshelves at home as well. XP Let's hope this method works out for me! XDD

Same here David! ! its good reads and amazon wishlist for me!! I may not remember a books name since I have so many but I know if I have read it!

I use Goodreads, too lol! I used to have lists, in a journal I kept just for that...I found it the other day lol! Goodreads is much easier though!

I agree Goodreads makes it easier to keep track of my books. I am very happy I found Goodreads.

I have a list here on goodreads, inadition to handwritten ones.

I used to have a whole binder dedicated to books I owned and that I wanted. I was very meticulous about updated it too! Now I use Goodreads.

I am very meticulous on Goodreads about the books I've read but need to be better about the books I own. I bought a duplicate the other day thinking I owned a different book by that author. I got home and... same book, just a different cover. Whoopsies. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Haha. I can't tell you how many times that's happened to me Karen! Goodreads has definitely helped me prevent that now though.

That little app on my phone has saved me a few times lately! But sadly, I didn't list the books I own but haven't read. Next project! ;)

I need to do that too Karen! I've found 3 duplicates while unpacking!
