Michelle Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 I usually spot books that look good, then forget about them. So, I thought I'd make a note here, for the next time I'm buying or at the library! Cathy Kelly - Past Secrets (ordered) John Connolly - The Book of Lost Things (on shelf) Julie Myerson - The Story of You Sarah Pinborough - The Hidden Maggie O'Farrell - The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox (on shelf) Maggie O'Farrell - The Distance Between Us (ordered) Jeanne Kalogridis - The Borgia Bride Sylvia Plath - The Bell Jar Quote
madcow Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 My memory is terrible so i have a big notebook that i carry around to add titles to and also to refer to when at the library or in a book shop. I'd be lost without it because i can never remember any of the books on my wish list Quote
Purple Poppy Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Jules said My memory is terrible so i have a big notebook that i carry around to add titles to and also to refer to when at the library or in a book shop. I'd be lost without it because i can never remember any of the books on my wish list I think thats a good idea. I think I may copy you. I always get to the bookshop, or wherever and forget all titles and authors. I just go completely blank! I think a list or notebook would be a good idea. Quote
Michelle Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 It looks like my lovely mum may be getting me some of those for my birthday! My shelves are filling up again... I think it's time to have a clear out again, and take some of the 'just in case' books to a charity shop! Quote

I'd be lost without it because i can never remember any of the books on my wish list I have to say that that is a top idea! My mind always goes blank when I'm out looking for books. There are just so many of them staring out at you from the shelves that I completely lose what I'm looking for. Quote
Michelle Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 List updated - I've gotten hold of a couple, but have added more! Quote
JudyB Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I've started a wishlist on LibraryThing (I forget very quickly books that I've seen and like the look of) - at some point I'll print it off and it will serve as a 'shopping list' for when I'm at the library. Quote
Nici Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I have a list of all the books i want to buy in my phone, so that way it is always with me! Quote
