![]() ![]() These days, I check my projected annual numbers once or twice a week. (There was one week or so a while back I was reading at an annualized rate of 1,300 books I don’t recall the details, but I evidently wasn’t very happy.) For a few years there, though, I was averaging 300 to 350 - which, in retrospect, was a period during which I was persistently depressed. For years I averaged, when happily relationshipped and satisfyingly employed, 150 – 200 books read or re-read. It’s often difficult to judge one’s own mental state from inside the mind one is trying to evaluate, but I’d discovered the number of books recently read, annualized, was a pretty effective personal barometer. ![]() My initial motivation for assembling a tracker was one of mental hygiene. This book tracker is head, shoulders, and several inches of pectoralis major better than the book tracker I tossed together earlier this year - so I think I’m going to export my data and import it into yours! ![]() Hope this helps you keep track of your books in an organized way!Ī great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. If you are an awesome person who could connect the GoodReads API or any book API to the database, even better! (And if you can, please show me!) Right now, I’m just gathering my information from GoodReads to input information like the number of pages, year published, and ISBN. The Metrics, Status and Genre Tables are rollup fields of all your data at a glance This could easily be changed to keeping track of something like where you want to buy the book. If you read e-books from your local library, I’ve also included a field for Library Status. It also includes information like Number of Pages in the book, How many times you’ve read the book, Year Published, and ISBN. This database includes a place for Title, Book Cover Image, Author, Read Status, Genre, Synopsis, Month and Year Read, Ratings by Star, Your Review of the book, and Own Status. Not only the books I’ve read, but the ones I want to read. I’ve read so many books in my lifetime and wanted a way to start tracking them. ![]()
