I rarely use a web browser to access GR as well, and wish they would beef up the mobile app so it had more parity (such as being able to compare books with another person). |

And I don't see that the reviews on your screenshot go beyond 300 - 10 pages of 30? Maybe I'm missing something. |

If anyone fancies keep track of their books read, but doesn't necessarily want to do it with any of the big web sites, there's our own MobileRead Annual Reading Challenge threads.

In reference to the title of this thread: I keep logs in the fireplace and journals in the bookcase. Bodda-Bing! But seriously: The answer, for me, is 'No'. |

From around 1994, I wrote down in a notebook the title, date finished and a quick rating of what I thought of the book. Starting in 2007 until now I use digital journal, which basically keeps track of the same information.
I keep journals of what I've read for myself and because my daughters share my love of reading. They'll eventually inherit my library of books and I hope that one day they and maybe their children will also be interested in reading my journals along with the books. |

I’m also a Goodreads user, because of failing memory. I often can’t remember much of the content of books I read so I do need to know if I liked something, so I’ll Star it one way or another. I rarely bother with reviews. I continue to use Hyphen Reader on my iPhone and iPad, because linking to goodreads and syncing between devices is just easy. Tick, done.

No. Seems useless. You can just google it o refresh your memory of a book.

Almost all books get an entry at Goodreads, including a relatively recent DNF shelf. I always say something besides a star rating, which is for me as much as others. Length ranges from a couple of sentences to a few paragraphs.

I began to track my reading in 2005 with a simple doc file containing date finished, author and title.
When I started to read more ebooks I chose Calibre for my ebook management and soon also for my print books. Later I transferred the data from my doc file to Calibre. By now my Calibre database has quite a few custom columns (read, date finished, TBR, original language, first publishing date ...) which help me to keep track of my physical bookshelves, my ebook collection, my read books and the long list of books to be read. On my Kobo I like to use the highlight function for interesting passages and also for new vocabulary and expressions when I read in foreign language (=English). With the annotations plugin I can import those highlights into the Calibre comments section. If I feel like it I write some words about the book and my reading experience but mostly I don't |

I just keep the date I finished the book in calibre. (The column can hold multiple dates because sometimes I re-read a book.) Because I abandoned my first book ever a few months ago, I now also have an "abandoned" date.
