Reading Accessories
I keep track of my books at Goodreads, but I’m still a pencil and paper person and love list making.
So my tracking system for taking to the library is a little black book (4.5 x 6.5 inches) with a page for each author and a list of the books I’ve read. This is a little binder with rings that open and shut so pages can be added. The author pages are all alphabetical and the current ones I’m reading have a little stickie on the edge so they can be found easily. The books in the series are listed and then checked off when read.
I made a new pen holder for my library binder. It works great.
