Listing Book Piles, 2012 Edition
This year, I changed a few ways I do things: a new house, new technology — why not?
But now I haven't the foggiest what I have read this year.
It's true: I used to record them in the monthly pages of my organizer, which I affectionately called "my brick." (It was that heavy.) Then I got a Kindle Fire and started using Google Calendar (which, I realize, in the end will lack the permanence and reference of my Franklin Covey pages).
This streamlining encouraged me to stop recording my books as I finished them. Now I have multiple sources, none of them easily organized and quick to provide information. Sigh. I thought I was being so clever.
Now, I shall record on this page, in no particular order, all of the books I have read this year. That I can remember. Feel free to let me know how wrong I am, for that is the only thing of which I am certain.
For the record, I have a few favorites:
What did you read this year?
More importantly, how do you remember all you've read?
