And I love the feeling of buying books on impulse. ;)<BR/><BR/>Sandy - I feel you well-deserve this award, Sandy!<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - Ah, our moods play a big part in our reading, isn't it? ;)<BR/><BR/>Valentina - As to-date, I don't know how many TBR books I have in there... I'm too scared to count! LOL.<BR/><BR/>Cmate - I got it from Blogger Templates, they've a wide range of designs there! I'm glad you like my layout. :)<BR/><BR/>Kristy - You're most welcome! :)<BR/><BR/>Yvonne - One of these days, I'll have to buy a little notebook just for this purpose. :)<BR/><BR/>Jeane - I don't keep track of my books on the computer (be it my TBR or wishlist), well except my reviews on my blog. As for book buying, I'm trying to control the urge of buying them on impulse... but it's so hard! LOL.<BR/><BR/>Jessica - I've those TBR pile sitting in the store room for ages! I'm just glad I had cleared one stack of it, hopefully I won't stack another pile, haha. <BR/><BR/>Debi - Thanks! I don't keep a notebook so that explains why I sometimes end up with duplicate copies! I should be more organized, haha.<BR/><BR/>Jenny - I wish I'm more organized! At least when it comes to keeping tracks of the books I read or buy. ;)<BR/><BR/>Naida - Thanks! I haven't thought of GoodReads... but I do have an account with Shelfari though, still I haven't been making good use of it. <BR/><BR/>Trish - Thank you!

I have these little notebooks that I keep running lists in, but if one isn't around I'll write the book's name down on any scrap of paper available. Sometimes I go and add a book directly to my Amazon wish list. The problem with have these wish lists all over the place is that I'll end up writing down the same book more than once without even realizing...and then buying it more than once. So, at least you're not alone on that score! :)Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-64573457564675582252009-04-07T02:51:00.000+08:002009-04-07T02:51:00.000+08:00You've just reminded me that I need to weed out my...You've just reminded me that I need to weed out my TBR pile as well.

I have it as a sorted page on my blog, now (w/useful links to the blog where I first read about the book- my usual method of finding new books now). I haven't weeded my TBR piles in the bedroom yet, but I do find that often when I pick up a book that's been sitting there for months on end (or over a year, even!) I find it totally uninteresting, and wonder why I wanted to read it in the first place. They end up as giveaways, too. Can't wait to see what rejects you post for one of us to treasure!Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-58963613983009812142009-04-06T19:41:00.000+08:002009-04-06T19:41:00.000+08:00I take a little notebook with me when I go booksho...I take a little notebook with me when I go bookshopping.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261873308731564886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-62799292600780022562009-04-06T19:04:00.000+08:002009-04-06T19:04:00.000+08:00Thanks for the award Melody!Thanks for the award Melody!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-11601048382785479352009-04-06T19:00:00.000+08:002009-04-06T19:00:00.000+08:00I'm loving this blogskin of yours?

Also bookmooch and the library are a factor. But I carefully keep track of it on my librarything, they are all under the "tbr" tag. As of today, they are 133.
