Wow, and I thought I had bought a lot of books!

 

Do you mind if I ask what software you use to keep track of your reading?

 

Happy reading!

[Luthien]

Wow, and I thought I had bought a lot of books!

Well, I've been a little too enthusiastic buying books this year.

 

Do you mind if I ask what software you use to keep track of your reading?

 

I use "BookCook", which is a great (and cheap) programme. I used to have an excel list, but only with the book titles so I wouldn't buy a book twice, but then I heard about BookCook and immediately bought it. Here's a screenshot:

 

 

It's especially great since it not only shows you each single book, but shows lots of statistics with one click. I've only had it for six months, but I wouldn't want to miss it anymore.

Thanks Luthien. It looks interesting!

[frankie]

Wow Luthien, that's a lot of books you've bought this year, I'm well impressed! By the looks of it you don't have any trouble reading that lot by the end of this year, though. Happy reading!

[~Andrea~]

Hi Luthien

 

What did you think of The Taking? I read it last year and really enjoyed it although I know a lot of people didn't like the ending.

 

That's a huge haul of books you've bought there! Hope you find time to read them
