How do you keep track of books you've read?

Another solution if you want to avoid using data when tracking your books is RecordBooks - http://www.livingpaperfree.com/RecordBoo... Easily share with others, use a barcode scan to add, and even backup via email or Dropbox. Available in the App Store along with a free version to try before you buy.

I intend to keep them in a journal - the old-fashioned, hand-written kind, and sometimes I do. Then I also write a longer summary on GoodReads and post reviews of one's I particularly liked on my blog -

Here is a neat little free app for iPhone. it lets you keep track of what you or your children read. you can post reviews to facebook or submit reading logs to teachers of your kids, as required by some elementary schools, directly from the app.

Wow, I guess I didn't realize some people forget books that they have read. So far I don't think I have come across this. Maybe I just have a really good memory, I dunno, but I can pretty much remember every book I have read by the title, or at least by the description on the back. Maybe I should start keeping track. I could be re-reading books and not even know it. LOL.

I like the address book idea! Very ingenious!

This app sounds great. I'll have to check it out for my ipad. I don't have any record keeping for the books I've read. I usually just remember and if I don't when I pick it up to read again it doesn't take me long to remember that I already did! I have a library of books at home (over 1000). I love it!

Jennifer,
I have just recently started using Goodreads, and I really like it. I do not have an iPhone, Android, or any other phone that requires "apps!"

Talking to a traveler at an RV park a couple of weeks ago she mentioned buying an address book and writing in by author the titles of books she read, then when she comes across one at a flea market or book sale she just checks her list first. Clever idea for those of us who don't have the internet phones or tech savvy.

Only technology in my house is this computer - which is ten years old. So, the only way I keep track is a paper in my desk drawer of TO READ books and I just know what I've read. goodreads.com sounds interesting though. Maybe have to check out some Websites now!

The best way for me is to keep track of the books through goodreads.com. It is very easy that's why I like it. I have a list on Barnesandnoble.com also but it's a bit more involved so not as many on there.

Hi Amanda -
an easy cheat for books you'd like to read is an Amazon account and create a nice, long "wish list" on the side bar. If you find them on the web, another way is to create a new folder in your "bookmarks" tab up top called BOOKS and bookmark every book into it along with an author bio. Just a quick easy one - thanks everyone for welcoming me to the group!

We keep track the old fashioned way in our book group - a list that keeps growing. I also keep a running log (written in cursive, no less) of the books I've read including the book club selections and others in my spare time.

I've started trying to get books into Shelfari, but I don't think that I'll ever reconstruct the list. I think I have about 500 books entered at this point and I suspect that's about 10% of what I've actually read, but it's hard to remember. Every once in a while I'll remember an author and go and enter a chunk, but I'm sure that many are lost forever.

How cool! I use GoodReads and, Yahoo notepad and my blog. I do have an iPhone and will be checking this app out. Thanks!!

Hey Jennifer! Welcome to the group! I do not have an iPhone (etc). I really don't keep track of the books I read. However, I am interested in keeping better track of books I'd like to read.
