A viable suggestion, but not one I'm likely to implement right now. Mostly because it's just one more place to keep track. I honestly don't have the time. Plus it would solve the reading part, but that's not really the issue. It wouldn't solve the keeping track of how much I've spent on books part. Yes, I'm recording the $$ spent in Calibre. But that doesn't include $$ and credits spent with Audible, and you can't even go back and check from Audible bills because of the way they record things. You can't tell if it was an Audible Credit used for a $0 purchase, or a $ credit from some contest/offer. And I do want to keep track of Audible costs -- they're not insignificant here.
The other issue with Goodreads is that only some books trigger the Goodreads popup at the start of reading -- others don't. So I can't even depend on that to be reliable for books read. But really? The main reason is that I have time for, at most, one forum. And, honestly, I choose this one because I enjoy the people here, mostly. As it is, time spent here is time from reading, and that's precious right now. With my current book at least a week, and probably more, behind schedule, my editor is not likely to view any time spent away from it with equanimity.
