How do you keep track of your reading?

I am looking for a new app or website to use to keep track of what I read, and would like a new one before the new year starts (sooner than you think!). I was using To Read, the app, but then it totally conked out on me and stopped letting me add books. I don’t know if this is a particular OCD but I really need/want to keep track of what I read each year. How many books, what titles, etc. I am a member of Goodreads and may consider that, but I don’t love the site. How do you keep track of your reading?

Ok! Do they have an app? Or did you just use the website?

@thislittlepennyearns I'll look into it, thanks! Do you still use Goodreads? Occasionally I sign up for their giveaways but it seems like there aren't as many on there as there used to be.

I don't keep track. I keep a quote journal of quotes I like (which reminds me there was a quote I read while at a friend's that I need to record in my journal). Would a notepad (either physical or on the computer / phone) work for you?

Probably! I don’t know how to use the notepad function on the iPhone but I should find out. Right now I use a good old paper and pen. Lol it feels archaic and I know there’s a better way. I like the idea of saving quotes. I also do if they really stand out to me.

@maezee You could get a hardbound notebook. That's what I use fro my quotes. it would be what I used for my list of books if I kept track of it.

I just keep track on a notepad app on my phone then also in a file on my computer that I copy to a private album on Facebook.

I hope you find an app for it. I don't use apps yet. However, that might change with my new phone, which is friendlier than my last one.
