Ways to Track your Reading

If you’re like me then you love to track your reading. Love to keep track of what books you’ve read, maybe what books you already have on your TBR shelf?

There are many different ways to keep track of your reading. Many different sites you can use to help you keep on top of your reading/TBR.

1. Goodreads– When people talk about keeping track of their books and what they have read, a big site is Goodreads. It allows you to see how many books you’ve read, create different ‘shelves’ on your profile and see what your friends are reading.
2. Storygraph– Storygraph is along the same line of Goodreads where you can keep track of the books you’ve read and what books you want to read. It just goes more in depth. It shows you a graph of genre you read more, of what ‘feeling’ type of books you read.
3. Fable– Another website you can use to keep track of your reading that works the same was as Goodreads, but in this one you can create ‘bookclubs’ so you can keep books and make notes with your friends.
4. Excel Spreadsheet- I am absolutely obsessed with using a spreadsheet myelf. If you aren’t an excel spreadsheet wizard, there are plenty of version on Etsy that you can purchase. I use mine to enter my entire library and track my monthly/yearly reading habits.
5. Library Scanner/Libib- You can purchase a library scanner on Amazon (that is where I got mine) and the website Libib to enter your home library. This one is less about tracking your daily reading habits and more for tracking what books you own. I created two different shelves on the website. One for my TBR and one for my read shelf. I can move the books in between the two shelves easily enough.
6. Paper list- Some folks who are not computer savvy use the good ole fashion paper and pencil system. Keeping a notebook with all the books they have or all the books they have read.

I have used all of the above sites/items to keep track of my books/reading habits. I mostly use Goodreads, the spreadsheet and the library scanner/libib. (Yes I am book obsessed). Do you guys have any other ways to track your reading?
