I also use the tags Netgalley or Edelweiss<br />Then I add the book to my review schedule which I list on my blog. <br />Finally, I add them to a digital calendar app on the day I plan to post a review (I used to use a paper diary as well) .That way each week I can check the calendar and see what I need to read/review to keep on schedule.<br />It works for me, and after so many years the process is simply a habit.shelleyrae @ book'd outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888977858862922561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-30547405177438196492019-07-26T15:22:06.875-04:002019-07-26T15:22:06.875-04:00Awesome!

Here's how you do it:<br />Click on the shelf.<br />Click on "Settings" at the top (in the menu next to the search box).<br />You'll see a list of visible columns.<br />Click the checkbox next to "date pub".<br />Click the "Save current settings to your 'For Review' shelf" button.<br />Now the column should show up in your list.<br />You can sort by that column by clicking on the title (I sort my review books by pub date to keep track of them).<br /><br />Hope this helps!!<br /><br />Nicole @ <a href="http://feedyourfictionaddiction.com" rel="nofollow">Feed Your Fiction Addiction</a><br />Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637114079800138680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-12766999142793186782019-07-21T16:30:30.347-04:002019-07-21T16:30:30.347-04:00I've debated a spreadsheet.

I did start a spreadsheet this year to track what I read with more details than my Goodreads tracking allows (because of all the end of year statistics blogger posted last year). I'm usually a month behind on recording my books read.

It works well but sometimes I feel like I'm spending more time on the spreadsheet than I am reading books!<br />Susan Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769084364802742430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-22445674124224278182019-07-20T19:02:58.259-04:002019-07-20T19:02:58.259-04:00Awesome post!

So far that's been working well for me! :) Erica Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668175232146054472noreply@blogger.com
