ITS HERRRREEEE!!

Also I knew it would be big but holy smokes it‘s a BRICK. I‘m pretty sure that by the time I‘m through them all I‘ll look like the guy in the painting! 😅 Can‘t wait to attack it with a highlighter!! Also, any other veterans of #1001books how do you keep track of your reading? I‘m thinking about keeping a journal and highlighting in the book itself...

IamIamIam I'm planning to use it as self defense if necessary! 😂 I took it to the library the other day & made notes about what's available in other libraries in the county! I decided to use little post its until I start going at it in earnest!!! #descentintoMADNESS 6y
Emilymdxn I got given this book as a present when I was about 13 and im not kidding when I say it was my bible for years!!! I still have all the slips of paper where I recorded which ones I‘d read as a teenager. 6y
Jabberwocky @IamIamIam Oooh post it‘s are a great idea!! The weird thing for me is that I rarely use libraries- nothing against them I just tend to keep the books for too long and it ends up being cheaper to just buy it in the first place. This challenge might make me get back into libraries though! 6y

Jabberwocky @Emilymdxn That‘s so cool! I‘m hoping for the same result one day years from now! 6y
Emilymdxn @Jabberwocky I‘m so excited to see how you find it! Which edition did you get? 6y
TrishB I use a book journal 😁 6y
Kaye I‘m glad you got it and hope you are a Spring Chicken so you‘re around to complete the list. I‘m gonna look like the skeleton long before I‘d complete the list , so I steer clear of it. 6y
Jabberwocky @kaye I‘m 23 so by my math if I live to about 100 I just need to read 4 books a week. I haven‘t gone through the ones I‘ve already read though so 😅🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y
Jabberwocky @TrishB I think that might be the best way to do this without losing my mind 🙃 6y
Jabberwocky @Emilymdxn looks like I have the 2008 edition. I‘m completely blown away by the number of books! That sounds ridiculous but 1001 is a lot of anything! 6y
sprainedbrain I love the book, but I keep track of my 1001 progress and reviews with the app. It‘s a paid app, but I think it‘s absolutely worth it! 6y
Jabberwocky @sprainedbrain ooooo that‘s ridiculously tempting 6y
sprainedbrain @Jabberwocky it has a fun feature where it figures out if you‘ll be able to finish them before you die, too. 🤣 6y
SconsinBookyBadger Accurate description of every litten ☠️📚 #burymewithmybooks #illkeepreadingevenwhenimdead 😂 6y
ValerieAndBooks Like @sprainedbrain said I also love my copy but the app is great. I look at it at least once a day! 6y
vivastory @sprainedbrain Is the app still only available on iPhone? 6y
vivastory I have a separate note book where I log the ones I've already read & the ones I'm currently reading. In March on Goodreads I started a separate shelf for them with a rating. The online spreadsheet is also really helped, it contains the selections from all of the editions. I'm hoping to finish 1,001 in 6 years. I think I'm currently around in 160. 6y
sprainedbrain @vivastory I‘m not sure. I will send them an email! 6y
DreesReads I use a highlighter and ballpoint in the book, use the app, have a Goodreads shelf (which is the least effective because sometimes books are in one volume and I track editions I‘ve read on GR), and also have a spreadsheet that I think came out before the app. 6y
AshleyHoss820 I use the app, I have multiple editions in which I highlight the titles I‘ve read, I have two journals (so far) & like a true glutton for punishment, I‘m re-reading books I‘ve already read & I‘m not counting them until I do...😄😄😄 6y
AshleyHoss820 Also, I make good use of my library‘s inter-library loan (so much so that the librarians all know what I‘m up to and they check my progress...) & I can access my library‘s catalogue at home, so I went through all the books on the app (it‘s close to 1300) to see which books my library had copies of...sadly not many...
