88 Really Good Books to Read Added to My GoodReads Bookshelf

goodreads books reviews rate database richardstep xarte Goodreads really good book to read recommendation review

Looking for a really good book to read? Well, check out my list below and pop on over to my GoodReads profile - I do reviews!

I finally decided to sit down and catalog a large portion of my physical ‘library’ as I’ve been putting it of for some time now.  I really, REALLY hated keeping up with all of the information in an Excel Spreadsheet, but I kept on doing for good archival & reference purposes.

As I mentioned a few posts ago, I stumbled across an absolutely fantastic website: www.goodreads.com and let me tell you… I won’t look back ever again!

A quick search of the ISBN, title, author, of some combination thereof and BAAM there is my book!  I simply rate it of shelf it and it is now part of my own personal database.  Yes, I am a geek and yes this *does* excite me.  LOL  :)  Check out my profile – 144 books now!  More to come!

I can hear you saying to yourself, “…but it’s on some webpage and it could be hacked, go down, go away, et cetera!!!”

Maybe, but there is an “export to CSV” function available that will blow your mind.  I guess it brought me right back to where I was – a spreadsheet… only this time I didn’t do all of the typing and I am only using the spreadsheet as a backup to the official list.  Did I mention GoodReads can also take your CSV file back and import your books again in case something happens?  *drool*

Anyway, I can’t praise these guys enough and I’ve gone from dreading to track my books to being exciting to add another to my virtual library.  Check it out and share your experience with me, please!
