Do you have a reading list

[miss_thrifty]

u go by? and where did u get it off the internet or friends?
Im just wondering because I have a neighbour who reads enormously and goes by a list . never heard of it just the oprah one and her list is on our libary web page.

I do keep running lists.
I usually do a little research online before I head to the library. If I'm in the mood for Fantasy I'll look for other people's recommendations in that genre. Then I'll read a synopsis at amazon & decide if I'd like them. Then it's to my library's site to see if they have it in or if I need to request it. I try to get all the books in a series so I can just read it from start to finish.
It's a bit of work but to me it's worth it.

I do keep a list of books that I want to read, I get recommendations from here, from my library's website and from Amazon. I also have a couple of friends that I work with that are also avid readers and they recommend books to me and I either borrow from them or I check them out at the library. We have a huge book sale each year that the adult literacy commission sponsors and I always take a list of the books and/or authors that I am interested in reading and I pick them up there as I find them. The last book sale that they had I bought 60 books .

I don't at the moment and have tons of books that I own that I still need to read or try to read again.

Thank you.

I have a personal list that I've made up over the years. Mostly from other things I've read, book reviews and other books by the same author. I carry it in my purse so when I hit a flea market I can check the titles against it. Its easy to do as I have my list in an address book by Authours last name. Makes reference a snap, a trick I learned from my mom a retired school libarian.

i have a list, but i usually end up just wandering the library aisles -making sure my authors don't have something new out or picking up interesting looking titles or covers

Not a list but I know of someone who is so organized that she keeps index cards with every Author she has ever read, and the titles of the books written by them that she has read. There must be 200 index cards in her box arranged alphabetically. She also jots down when the release date on new books that are due out, and what she liked and disliked about what she read.

Talk about organized and never buying a book twice. Not to mention red flagging authors she simply did not like.

I am a member of a book club and we share books between us which is a lot of fun and a good way to explore authors you wouldn't otherwise read

frooz,

Well at the moment I'm not a member of a book club, but way you made it sound, I want to be a member of a book club now.

Thank you.

I work AT the LIBRARY, so you can imagine just how many books come home with me every day! I usually have two or three books going at any one time.

I just finished the new Harry Potter and started the latest Victoria Thompson.

At one point in time I had a list but I go in and out of reading phases...I have 4 books on the go and have just started back into them. Bf reads like mad and well he's sad at my choices - girly books? I told him to go to the library and get his own!

I use that old list - compiled from friends, new releases, articles/reviews in newspapers etc and then add any thing I see when I pass by a bookstore that I 'think' I may want to read....the list may be long but I'll have plenty to choose from when its time for me to go to the library!
