How to Organize Your Books

Yay!  It’s spring break!  Time for sunshine, flowers, Easter, and in my case, a family road trip.

Spring is also a great time to clean out and get yourself organized.  What do Word Nerds need to organize most?  Their books!

I like organizing my books, and my thoughts about them, two ways.

The “old-fashioned” writing method

I found this Book Journal on Amazon. Click the photo to see it there.

I recently got myself this lovely book journal.  I can keep track of books I want to read as well as jot down thoughts about books I’ve read.  There are also sections for books borrowed and lent.  I’ve been using a mechanical pencil, it seems neater for the small spaces, but my friend Amy has a fun colored gel pen in hers… I think it’s time to add some flash to my journal too!

 

 

 

The digital method

Are you on Goodreads yet?  What!?  You call yourself a book lover and you don’t have a Goodreads account?

You can use Goodreads to keep track of books read, remember books you want to read, and find reviews and reading suggestions.  I also like getting the daily literary quotes in my inbox.  For details about using Goodreads, see my post How to Use Goodreads: A Guide for Word Nerds.

Already on Goodreads?  Great.  Friend me and share some awesome reading suggestions. Maybe it’s time to clean up those digital shelves a bit.

How are you getting organized this spring?

Thanks for stopping by!
