I always dislike admitting I have a problem. But, I have a problem. I am now a book addict. I've confessed before in a post about my one-click addiction. It now also extends to having several different locations for my books. Not only do I have a Kindle app on my iPad, but I have an actual Kindle. I also have a Nook app that I store books in on the iPad, and I can't fail to mention my iBooks app too.
I actually realized I had an issue when I recently made a decision to buy paperbacks of the books I absolutely love. I was researching my apps and discovered that I've repeated purchases within the 3 different apps where I have my books. <insert blood curdling scream here>
I know right!?! How? How can you repeat purchases?
Obviously I'm so NOT organized. I need a better organization system to know what I've purchased and where. In my book club that I'm in, someone mentioned a spreadsheet. I think a spreadsheet is a wonderful idea. Provided I update said spreadsheet. I also had a suggestion to use Goodreads. That's a part of my routine, however it also demands you update your shit. I think this has been my challenge.
So I've decided I need a book assistant. Any takers?
How do you keep track of your purchases?
Do you often lose track and duplicate books?

Oh Ella, I bet there are a lot of us out there. I have an iPad with a Kindle app, and a Kindle. I think I will be holding my iPad in my cold dead hands and NOT get to the bottom of my TBR. Luckily Amazon keeps track of my purchases and tells me when I have already bought something. Someone in there is watching out for me! My biggest problem when I was buying paperbacks, the cover would be changed and I thought it was new...grrrrr. My name is Pat, I'm a bookaholic. If you figure out how to keep track...please let me know!
ReplyDeleteI am an addict too! My problem lately is keeping track of what I have on the Kindle app compared to elsewhere. I'd be interested in finding out what your solution is.
