Here‘s my list of #ToB books that I can‘t get on Libby or Scribd. (Yes, #spreadsheetgeek strikes again!)

I have one credit due next week so any thoughts on which one I should go for? I‘m thinking The Echo Wife but happy to take any other recommendations….

Megabooks, Cinfhen, BarbaraBB, Ruthiella

Ruthiella Based the reviews from @Megabooks and @Cinfhen , I think The Echo Wife would be a good choice. 🤔 However, since Hell of a Book won the National Book Award, that might have a more likely shot at making the shortlist. (edited) 3y

BarbaraBB So many good ones! I‘d agree with @Ruthiella on Hell of a Book if you want to be efficient 😉 3y

Hooked_on_books The Echo Wife is so good! Plus I really liked Hell of a Book, Several People are Typing, and Outlawed. I wasn‘t as big a fan of Good Neighbors. (edited) 3y

Cinfhen Ohhh, I‘m conflicted!!! I really liked Echo Wife but it‘s on the short side…use your credit for a longer book…I‘m super excited for this one, even though I didn‘t enjoy Night Watchman

The Sentence

Hooked_on_books Actually, I went back and looked and it seems like a quite liked Good Neighbors, so I‘m not sure why I thought I didn‘t as much. 🤔 Maybe that‘s telling. 3y

Megabooks Several people are typing is hilarious, but not sure if it‘s worth a credit. Echo wife was very good as was Nightbitch. I preferred Nightbitch of those two. I agree that hell of a book would probably be a safe choice for making the shortlist, but I haven‘t read it. 3y

Megabooks @Cinfhen starting the sentence this morning! 👍🏻 3y

Cinfhen Ohhhh @Megabooks in print or audio?? 3y

Megabooks @Cinfhen audio! 3y

squirrelbrain Thanks for all your thoughts everyone! @Ruthiella @BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books @Cinfhen , although I‘m still undecided! I‘ll wait to see what you think of The Sentence, Meg, as I don‘t get my credit until next week, then I might go for Hell of a Book…. 🤷‍♀️ 3y

Cinfhen Keep us posted!! 3y

Publishing Romance: The History of an Industry, 1940s to the Present | John Markert

Nerd Friends, I have now added the nerdiest feature yet to my book tracking spreadsheet 😂
Now I‘m tracking which publishers and imprints I read the most. No real surprises - mostly Big Five - but now I can kind of see if I have any favorites. (I already know I love Riverhead‘s covers! 😍)

Do you track your reading? If so, what‘s the nerdiest thing you track?

JamieArc That‘s a great idea! 4y

squirrelbrain I have a list of books I‘ve bought / been gifted, giving an average spend, and also how much I‘ve saved by borrowing from the library....#spreadsheetgeek (and proud!) 😘 4y

Sace I don't really track my books/reading very carefully. Mainly titles, provenance/format (owned, library/dead tree, electronic, audio) and date finished. 4y

eraderneely @JamieArc thanks! 4y

eraderneely @squirrelbrain I love that you‘re a spreadsheet geek! I don‘t want to know how much I spend on books though 😬 4y

eraderneely @Sace I started with tracking those things too. Have you found your ratio of owned to library has changed this year? 4y

Sace @eraderneely um.. I... Er... I'm very inconsistent about writing things down and I don't really analyze the data. It doesn't add to my enjoyment of the books so I don't do it. Maybe on LibraryThing I might do some tag filtering, but that's about it. 4y

eraderneely @Sace you have to live your best reading life. I just happen to love data! And I‘ve noticed with lockdown that I‘ve borrowed a lot of ebooks and audiobooks this year. Was wondering if anyone else was having the same experience. 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Up until I got lazy last year, I was entering my books read into Goodreads. I marked if I physically owned it or was an ebook, ARC, etc, but more for future me to know whether I have it or not. It's where my most up to date litsy of books owned resides, but since 2014 I've kept a note on my phone for each year, just with title, author, and if it was my 3rd or 81st book read. 4y

eraderneely @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I love hearing what different people choose to track! Before Goodreads I kept accidentally rereading a book I hated 😂 4y

squirrelbrain Oh @TrishB you *are* naughty.... heads off to Amazon to spend more money....! 5y

TrishB @squirrelbrain who can resist a book for 99p 😁 (definitely not me!). 5y

squirrelbrain Me either @TrishB ! Although, I‘m very surprised.... according to my spreadsheet I‘ve only bought 17 99p Kindle books this year - I expected it to be a lot more! #spreadsheetgeek 5y

Cinfhen #SorryNotSorry @TrishB @squirrelbrain (edited) 5y

TrishB @squirrelbrain @Cinfhen I foolishly went away and counted and have brought 113 #99ponkindle books this year! But that‘s not bad in 7 months she says. 5y

Cinfhen Hahahahaha HILARIOUS @TrishB 😂🙌🏻❤️ 5y

Cinfhen Do I dare go count...I‘m definitely more than @squirrelbrain but less than @TrishB 5y

squirrelbrain @TrishB 😲 although in my defence I have been trying *not* to buy any books! Eagerly awaiting the results from @Cinfhen 🤣 5y

Cinfhen 34 #KindleDailyDeals since January 1, 2020 @TrishB @squirrelbrain not too bad but I probably bought another 20 #AudibleDailyDeals 🙈 5y

Cinfhen Still.... no where as close to @TrishB !!!!!! 5y

TrishB I excuse myself by saying it‘s less than a posh coffee a day (which I don‘t drink!) 😁😁 5y

squirrelbrain I don‘t drink coffee either @TrishB so that‘s a poor excuse! 🤣 5y

squirrelbrain @Cinfhen - we‘re definitely not as bad as @TrishB ! 5y

Cinfhen I do like the posh coffee @TrishB @squirrelbrain but I haven‘t had one since Coronavirus outbreak 😝 5y
