Book logging

[stardewdreaming]

I spent this evening adding my owned/read books and my TBR to both goodreads and storygraph. I thought it was going to be a quick job but it ended up taking me most of the evening. I almost gave up a couple of times but the thought of leaving it partially done was worse than keeping going.

But now everything is logged, given a star rating and tagged. The only thing I don't have is read dates and part of me is quite tempted to ignore my TBR and do a re-read of all my owned books so they have a last rate date. Except there's another part of me that wants to do a massive unhaul because I don't know if I even want to re-read a lot of them. But that's a whole other pile of emotional baggage that I'm not feeling going up to tonight.

I do have a good sense of accomplishment for getting it done, so I'm taking that. I was hoping to do a proper introductory post today as well but that's going to have to wait until tomorrow. Tonight is now going to be a hot drink and some tasty baked goods, play a little bit of Animal Crossing: New Horizons then head to bed.

Tomorrow I will aim to do that introduction post.

I've been thinking about doing the same but I dread to think how long it would take. Maybe a shelf a week or something LOL

I'm glad I did it before my book collection grew any bigger than it already is - it was a big enough job but it feels really good to have it done. And it's also useful to have as part of my insurance paperwork, so now if god-forbid, anything was to happen, I know exactly what books they are

For a moment I thought I'd tripped onto badfalcon's journal - this is literally a post they could have written! 🤓

It's sooooo satisfying to get things all logged and organised though, isn't it?
