I feel like books I add from the newspaper reviews tend to be the ones I let languish on my tbr- I probably should get evidence for that!! 🤭

I like your spreadsheet! It's given me some ideas to add to the one I already use. Mine currently is mostly just reading stats and my owned library but I like the idea of adding challenge tracking.
I loved looking at your spreadsheet, Insiyah. It's almost inspired me to expand mine which just contains what I've read since Jan. 2005. Even so, I think I've managed to miss one occasionally, so perhaps I better not make any changes 😃I've just realised that I'll have 20 years worth at the end of 2024. How about that!? 😎
This is giving me ideas for my reading journal. I really like Jax's idea about tracking referrals and seeing which one suits my taste. Does anyone like to do their reading goals in a journal too? I track goals like reading nonfiction, short stories, translated works, etc.
Does anyone else want to share their reading spreadsheets if they have them? I'm always looking for ideas to adjust mine (plus I'm a nerd and I just like looking at spreadsheets). Challenge tracking for stuff like UNO is definitely going on the list to add.Following Insiyah's example, here's mine.

Your spreadsheet is gorgeous!
I got mine from MN-Lisa. She's been on GR for five years. I know she will share.
Aw, thank you Melanie and Catsalive, it's been a work in progress for years :D
Here is what I came up with. I will use the next three pages for the actual hands. On each page, corresponding to it's month, I will draw each individual hand that my team receives.
Just wait until the mini-challenges are thrown into the mix!!!Save some pages for that!
Very cute, William!
Jenny ummm... 😳I don't know how to plan accordingly 😱

It is always a fun surprise. Go look at some Uno archives from former years if you want an idea of what is coming your way...

I have a whole seperate reading journal. My reading challenges are in my main journal (pictured above) but i have another that tracks releases, genres, library check outs ( to track money saved) series, my book bracket, my monthly favs, and book reviews.
Im a Virgo so im like organization on steroids lol

At first glance I was impressed. But as I looked at it more, I'm stunned. That is amazing.

Thank you, Skye!
Roe yeah lol I was looking through the old mini challenges... it's definitely a lot! Don't think I'll be tracking any of that the same way I will track the main game LOL.

I read Keep You Safe by Rona Halsall, 7th Heaven by James Patterson & The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell. Added all three to the bingo board - so much fun! Happy Reading - find the world in a book.
Everyone’s spreadsheets is making me want to start one. Better start it before UNO so I can actually read instead of playing with the spreadsheet LOL
Thanks everyone for sharing your precious spreadsheets/ideas, which in turn makes me look like a lazy slob, lol. I kept an excel table where I tried to collect all the books I read at one point in time and in October 2014 I stumbled on on GR (WOW, that'll be 10 years soon), so I stopped and only tracked my reading here. :)
So many possibilities and ideas. :)

All these put my old excel ss to shame.
Looking at yours reminded me about Restaurant Hopping, Alyana, I'd forgotten about it. What's Cold Case? It looks interesting.

I don't see my name there either, but I'm not really panicking. I'm sure I signed up. No need to panic, right? 😉

Don't worry! My personal library has its own spreadsheet. This is purely for my books in 2024!

I feel the same way. Love organizing things so charts and stats for reading is fun for me.
Am I allowed to request to be on the same team as someone even though I've already signed up?

Hi Cats, it's a challenge from the Tall, Dark and Deadly group. Here is the link of the challenge: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I've been using the CAWPILE spreadsheets from Book Roast on youtube for the past few years to track my reading. It comes with a tab with stats which I absolutely LOVE, and a tab to track the series you're reading too, and I've added a couple more for reading challenges /readathons I've joined - most of which I haven't put in any effort to make look pretty though haha
OMG Erin! That's an amazing spreadsheet!How long do you have to spend on it to keep everything updated?

It took awhile to set up --- years of adjusting for fun as a hobby.
With it set up now it doesn't take long to keep updated, I mainly move as I read from To be read tab to Read and all the charts and tables auto-calculate, so no work really now unless I want to add and change things, which I randomly do when bored. It's fun. Thanks for the compliments on it, all! I love looking at others spreadsheets as well
Edited to add --- I just started doing the To-be-read tab this year so that one is not complete. I mainly track with graphs and stats my finished, read books, so that one has been around for years and is the easier to keep updated.
I feel pretty good about using the GR shelves. All y'all are next level.
