Yes, this is what I do. I use a Word document, and I have a section for the books I’ve already read and a section for the books I want to read. If there’s a series I haven’t completed or an author I really like or something I see in the recently added to BARD list then I’ll add those books to the books I want to read section. This does mean moving books from one section to the other, but I find I need to do less formatting when I add a book to the document from BARD, Kindle or another source then when I was using Excel.
BTW, I did exactly what Richard suggested when I was using Excel. I would add all the books in a series that I wanted to read, and as I finished each book, I would just change the status from unread to read. There was some chatter on this or another list about apps like Good Read that would help you keep track of books you’ve read and movies you’ve seen, so maybe something like that would help. I didn’t pay too much attention to those posts at the time since I didn’t think I was interested in leaving my Word document behind. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Thursday, September 9, 2021 10:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: keeping track of which books are on which app I would either add a column for to be read books and note which app they are on.

Of course, that also means that I have books in various apps and I’m now finding that I can easily lose track of where a book is. To be more specific, I have Audible, Kindle, Voice Dream Reader, Christian Audio, Chirp and BARD. I’ve occasionally found that I’ve almost purchased a book in Audible, forgetting that I had already found it on BARD. Or, I download a book someone recommends to me or that I find on sale, then forget which app it’s in. Some of you talk about having hundreds of books on your phone. Anyone found any great ways to keep track of what you have downloaded? I will say that I’m not one to keep a book on my device once I’ve read it. I keep an Excel spreadsheet with books I’ve read and what I thought of them, and recently added a note as to which app I read it on, but this doesn’t help me with books I have yet to read. Just interested if anyone has any great ideas on ways to link everything into one list or something.
