I only have a few minutes to whip up this post because we have a TON of things going on in our house today but I wanted to say a quick thank you to those awesome bloggers, publishers and authors who hooked me up with these incredibly awesome goodies this week. I was absolutely shocked to see that I won the complete set of the Watchmen series from Shelf Awareness. I tweeted obsessively trying to get these and my husband was beyond thrilled when I gave them to him. He is a HUGE comic fan (he even writes, draws and publishes his own) and he has been wanting to get this series forever. He had a few of the issues but his weren't hardcovers or the complete set. He was quite pleased. And I was super pleased to win these awesome books as well as the kickass gift card, woohoo! I immediately put that to good use and took advantage of Amazon's bargain book sale and I will have a nice box full of new books to show you next week.
I'm also dedicating a lot of my time this week to updating my home library. I love Goodreads, but I needed something new to organize and catalog my books. After a very long search, I decided to try Libib.com. I used to keep a word doc of all my books but when my laptop died a few months ago I lost it. By the time I was able to get my information off the old hard drive, I had already collected a large amount of books that had been put away and there was no way I was going to be able to find and catalog them all. So now I am going through my shelves book by book and adding them to Libib via their ISBN numbers. It's taking a long time but it is worth it. Now I can just log on to my account from anywhere to see if I already have a certain book. This comes in super handy when I'm at the used bookstore because I tend to forget what I have and end up with duplicates.
What do you use, if anything, to keep a record of your books? And what books did you get this week? Leave me a link so I can come visit!
You got some great stuff this week! I love Julie Berry and The Glimpse looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou're on a winning streak again! Way to go. You seem to have such great luck with contests.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I try to keep my physical book collection low in volume, so I don't have problems keeping track, but I sure could use some help on my ereader.
I've had my eyes on All the Truth That's In Me! it sounds pretty good.
ReplyDeletegreat book haul,

No new books this week for me. As far as keeping track of my books, I use Goodreads to organize everything.
ReplyDeleteWow good books. I have been wanting All The Truth That's In Me.
