If I want to read a book but I haven't yet purchased or borrowed it (for example, if an acquaintance has recommended it on the fly, if it's a book by a favourite author or if it's not yet an ebook -- and I'm looking at you, Battle Royale!), I add it to the default 'to-read' shelf in GoodReads. However, as I mostly use GoodReads to track books that I have read, they tend to get neglected -- so I also keep a simple check-list of a few at a time which have caught my interest in a big way in Evernote.
If I already own the book (or am already borrowing it), I simply keep it in my iPhone until it's been read. From there, my favourites stay on my iPhone (though may get shuffled through the shelves) and books that are less-than-favourites are removed from the iPhone (but remain in Calibre for future access). I've considered making a custom column in Calibre, but it seems easier to just export everything to my iPhone and let my fingers do the choosing.
