I use goodreads also. I also have a list in my notes on my phone that I add to almost daily. It's the only way I'll remember every suggestion. Lol

I don't physically carry a list of to-read books, but I like browsing through must-read book lists a lot like 100 books to read before you die, BBCs The Big Read and mentally make a note of books I really really want to read. And in case I get to know of any new book that is creating waves, I add it's free sample on my Kindle app, to remember to give a try once I am done with the present book. The sample also gives a feel into how the actual book would be.

I like to carry a list of authors of the books I like. I will also keep a blank piece of paper with me so if I am at a store and see a new book I want to get I will write it down to buy online later.

I absolute carry a list! I try to read all different types of books every year. I try to make it different each time. History, Science, Love, Comedy, etc. It's great getting lost in a different world. I constantly try to get new titles from friends and family. I even have a Facebook page for a few of my friends, we share quotes and different titles to read.

No I don't. I usually just borrow books from the library so I don't need one. However I don't really keep up with books... I have a horrible memory. Sometimes it is better though because I find out that there is another book after the one I was waiting for and that makes me really happy.

I'm all about lists! They keep my head from rolling off. My book lists are separated into books to read, authors I gravitate towards because their writing style, and books I have read split into genres. And when I don't have my written list near me goodreads is a quick an easy alternative for me.

Yes. I fill my amazon cart with books after reading their reviews, then I use the list when I visit the library to find the books I am interested in reading!

Goodreads is a good call, I even got a surprise gift for my friend by stalking her wish list on goodreads and she was so happy! She asked how I knew that she wanted to read it ... I confessed of course

I do not carry a list around, I do try to add my books to goodreads as a go along. I do make a list and carry around of my comicbooks though. It's kinda funny when you think about it.

I do. An old fashioned pen written on notebook paper list. Two actually. Since I am a fan of the Hard Case Crime imprint I carry a list of those in the collection that I already own so I won't repeat a title (started that after buying the same one twice), my second list usually consists of books I am looking for at the library after searching them online.

I have a list...of sorts! I have the Goodreads app on my cell and tablet. On that site, I have a shelf titled Wishlist. A list of all the books I want to read/buy! Helps me out when I visit one of the bookstores around where I live :)

I have a mental list. It's pretty hard for me to forget the books I want to read and buy.

I keep a list of both books and movies that I already have to avoid buying duplicates. It has saved me a few times!
