I don't have an actual list of books that I like to read. But I do have books on my Kindle app that I keep looking over and rank them in order of which ones i want to read first.

Not only do I have a list of books I don't own and would like, but I have an app that has all the books that I do have just in case I can't find my list! I've incurred the problem of duplicates so many times now that it has gotten pretty ridiculous!

Yes, I definitely carry a list or two. However, more often than not the books on my "to-buy" list get moved over to my "library" book list. What can I say? I'm picky about what books I buy. In fact, I only normally buy books if I've already read them. I have to love them enough to want to read them again at any time. So I have another list for those too! :)

I carry a list of books that I want to read so I can choose easily when I'm shopping. And I also like to cross them off my list after I read them :)

I don't carry a physical list but I have a list of books I want to read on Goodreads or I write them down on my phone notes so I don't forget.

No I don't carry a list around but I do write which books I need down. I have learned I will need to carry my list around though I totally forgot which books I had at home the other day while in barnes and noble and didn't get anything I was so disappointed

I usually have a list of the books that have made my "shortlist" TBR. That way, when I finish one, I can bring it up and remember what I have planned on reading next (or soon).

No, I don't have an actual list. Whenever I find a book that I want to read (usually online), I bookmark it on my cellphone.

P.S. Does anyone know why there is a gold bar underneath some of our user names but not others?

I don't have a list, I usually add the books I want to read to a wishlist on the Thriftbooks or Barnes and Nobles website. A list would be a good idea, though.

Well, kind of.
I get so curious about books, that I can spend hours on Amazon jumping between the 'Look inside' section of lots of books. Sometimes I go from Amazon to both my local libraries and see if a certain book is there, and then go get it if it is;

I also put lots of books I'm interested in but not sure if I want to buy, on my Wishlist; so that I can go through that now and then or if I want to remember a particular book.
I leave many pages open on Amazon too while I just want to be reminded of them, haven't chosen whether it's a buy or a wishlist item or a library search yet.

Books are very big in my life! my major recreation.

No, unless I specifically know that a bookshop has a sale on books and I have looked them up beforehand online and now I just want to go and buy them all and not forget anything. :)

I have a mental list of all the books I own. However, lately my daughters have started adding their books to the library. So now I keep a running list of books I want to read!

I have a list in notes on my phone plus screenshots of books that look promising. I’m always on the lookout for any of these.

I try to remember one when I know I'm going by a bookstore or thrift store. Otherwise I end up with two of the same thing on my shelf and still missing that 4th book in the series that's never in the library.
