Oh well done! Its been the same for me, I’m reading so much more and doom scrolling less this year, which in turn has improved my mental health!Its such a good read. Wonder if we'l ever get his next book
Well Im absolutely over the moon to say last night I reached my target of 52 books for the year. I looked on the Kindle insights and last year read 2. So this is a huge achievement for me. I spent so long in the pandemic doom scrolling. Was such an unproductive waste of time that really impacted my mental health.
Nah just select one and then when you’re ready to read it, do it! They don’t hide them if you read themGiven that I haven't even touched the two amazon first reads of last month, I think I might sit this month out!
I feel (and this is a very rare feeling indeed for us booklovers) satisfied with my massive physical and kindle TBR list, so I'll listen to my sense of reason and just work through my owned books for now! But don't worry, I'll likely be back to my fiendish book hoarding ways in like 2 days
Still reading Dracula, just over half way through and loving it, and as I prefer to try to with a classic, I'm taking my time. Also only a couple chapters into Just One Damned Thing After Another, so it may be too soon to say, but I am already enjoying it and will tuck in to a bit more now before I go to sleep!
I don't do anything fancy. I just have a page at the end of my yearly planner where I write them all down. But I know people can get very fancy and decorative to make it into whatever they want. I think most people track on good reads but I've never really got into it.Oh well done!

How does everyone track their reading? A notebook? Good reads? Spreadsheet? I don’t do anything but I would love to know and look back on how many books I read, the split of genres, word count etc
I track everything on goodreads! I find it super easy to track my reading there and save books that I want to buy/read/research in my 'want to read'. I also participate in the reading challenge every year, where you can select the amount of books you want to read for that year. At the end of the year you can easily see how many books you read, the amount of pages and all the ratings you gave! On goodreads I only give star ratings, no reviews.Oh well done!

I use Good Reads. Its quick and easy to use and you can link to your kindle / kindle app. Like marjan said I also put want to reads on there too.Oh well done! Its been the same for me, I’m reading so much more and doom scrolling less this year, which in turn has improved my mental health!

I think you actually can add re-reads! If you go to one of the books you have read, you see 'my activity' and if you click on edit you can add dates. You just can't log it like usual and track the progress for the book again, I think you can only add more datesI use Good Reads.

The only thing with good reads is that it doesnt track any re-reads.
I also dont read reviews on there as I found I seem to have very different likes and dislikes to almost all the reviews.
I’m glad someone else has read the same volume of books as me because when I tell people I wonder if I’m far too ahead of most peopleI just use a notebook. I find it satisfying writing it down. I aim to read 100 books a year but I’m on well over 160 this year largely due to this thread!
I’m a quick reader and I read every day. My husband and I like to read while we eat and before we go to sleep, so we have a lot of reading time scheduled into our day. I’m sometimes a bit hesitant to share how much and how fast I read in case it looks like I’m showing off but this is such a nice, safe thread I thought I’d risk itI’m glad someone else has read the same volume of books as me because when I tell people I wonder if I’m far too ahead of most people
You can move the book from read to currently reading and then update progress and mark as finished and it will do the dates for you as normal. I reread the Harry Potter books every year and I want them to count for my reading challenge and year in books, and this worksI think you actually can add re-reads!
