Brian. Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Bit of an odd question for people. How do you keep your wish lists? I've tried the feature on Goodreads, I have a list on Amazon and I also have various lists written on notebooks but none of them seem satisfactory to me. I'm curious as to what other people use to see if I can make something work for me. Portability would be good so I am leaning towards creating an excel sheet but I'm not convinced that would work great either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Budgie Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Same as you, I use Goodreads and Amazon. The two combined work very well for me, but I'll watch this thread with interest in case anyone comes up with a better idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Goodreads and Amazon for me too, mainly Goodreads. It would be nice if we could have wish lists on here. Maybe one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookmonkey Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I have a list in a notebook and one on my phone. But I've only recently started keeping a list, so I'm not sure how good it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I use various wishlists on a Dutch website I often order stuff from. I also have a wishlist on Amazon UK and on Amazon US (the latter if for e-books only). I also have a document containing my old wishlist, containing author-(series-)title in alphabetical order, and I have an old wishlist on GoodReads. I would prefer a better system, but I haven't come up with one yet, so this will have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I use Amazon wishlist, plus scraps of paper that will occasionally gather together in one place and remind me that I thought they were interesting enough to note down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 My main one is on Amazon, with others on Waterstone's, book Depository and Wordery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willoyd Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Wishlists on Amazon, plus photos of front covers of books I see in libraries/book shops etc on my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 As an update I’ve settled on having it in 2 places, Amazon and Goodreads. I have also been adding all my kindle TBR books to Goodreads as I’ve got a habit of buying books I already own. My plan is to check my Goodreads account before buying anything in a charity shop to prevent duplicate purchases. It’s not perfect as if I have a poor data signal I won’t be able to access it but it’s the best solution I have at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Amazon and a library where I've been borrowing ebooks has a wishlist as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I use Amazon as being a Kindle reader, I have to buy my books from there. It currently has over 100 items on it and seems to get longer by the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I always use Amazon to keep track of my wishlists. Even if I don't intend to buy the book (borrow it instead), I will still add it to my list so I can keep track of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
