Hi Emily-I finally got around to checking out your Flickr site and it’s for wordpress.org blogs not wordpress.com blogs, which this one is. I was able to add a “still” widget, but not the cool flashing badge that I wanted. Maybe some day…Thanks, though–cynthia

Annlee, thanks for sharing your method of recording the books you read: word documents organized by year. How long have you been keeping records?

I keep a list of the books I’ve read in Word docs organized by year. I record title, author, and dates read. I also log this info on Facebook through the LivingSocial: Visual Bookshelf app. -ae

Thanks for the book tracker site, Christian. I haven’t started transferring my books yet. So I’ll see how it compares to LibraryThing.

There’s an online tracking database called “Book Tracker” that is a simple way to list what you’ve read and what you want to read.

Very user friendly, if simplistic.

Hi Stephen-thanks for your comment. I keep a list of the books I’ve read here on the blog as well as in my contacts file. It’s hard for me to trust just one electronic source.

I do enjoy making notes about a book. There are so many great ones that most of them I will only be able to read once. So I want to try to hold on to what struck me.

Hope to hear from you again!

It is – this line grabbed me, pulled into that little girl’s mind! I re-read and re-read it.
Of course, if we all responded the same way, there would only be one type of book and we would be left with little.

Until I started blogging, I kept a running list on my Palm. Now I just keep my list hidden (beyond the last ten books) inside of my Blogger layout. Your method sounds better, though. I like that you make notes about each book. This is something I haven’t done before. I’ll have to start. There have been too many times when I went searching for a special moment in a book and couldn’t put my finger right on it.

I love that you called me a geekess! I will so wear that proudly.

I did love sidekick. In fact it’s still installed on my computer, and I print blank calendars from it all the time. I just don’t rely on it anymore.

I just took Saturday off the shelf. It takes place all in one day. I reread the first line and then the last–beautiful. I may have to read it again.
