So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading | Sara Nelson

I wish Goodreads let you add private notes to your TBR. I add so many books that I know I'll only read if I'm in a specific mood or bc a specific person recommended it, and I'd love to note that somewhere!

Caroline2 Me too!!!! 🙋‍♀️ 2w

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I think they have that on Storygraph.. (adding private notes) 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I think you can only note in it on SG once you mark it as currently reading (then the journal button pops up) But it does give you tags you can mark at anytime and already tells you the "mood" of the book 2w

Ruthiella Maybe set up a shelf for each mood? 2w

xicanti LibraryThing has this option! Even non-private comments are pretty unobtrusive, too. 2w

ShyBookOwl @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @ChaoticMissAdventures Oooh good to know! The mood tag could help 2w

ShyBookOwl @Ruthiella That could work! Thx 😊 2w

ShyBookOwl @xicanti Never heard of that but definitely looking it up right now! 2w

Daisey Once you‘ve shelved a book in Goodreads, you should be able to if accessing on a computer. I can add private notes by clicking “Edit my activity” from the book‘s page after it‘s shelved or from the My Books page if notes are check marked to be visible. 2w

ShyBookOwl @Daisey 😯 cool!! I'll check that out 2w

Lonely Planet Hidden Libraries: The World's Most Unusual Book Depositories | Nancy Pearl, D. C. Helmuth

pick

This book is such a hidden gem!

It showcases 50 different “hidden” libraries from all around the world (plus outer space). Every library profile tells you how to find it (if applicable, some are no longer around and some are not open to the public). Also, all the photos have captions which I appreciated.

A Year of Reading: A Month-by-month Guide to Classics and Crowd-pleasers for You and Your Book Group | Elisabeth Ellington, Jane Freimiller

I read 154 books this year! At the beginning of the year I started drawing the spines in my book journal with a stack for each month & am proud to say I kept it up all year long. I‘m definitely going to continue to do this in 2025 as I love the way these pages turn out… plus it‘s good practice for my art.

In the middle of 2 more books but I don‘t know if I will finish them today. Might wait to post my StoryGraph wrap-up tomorrow just in case.
