My virtual bookshelf

I use Goodreads as my virtual bookshelf. A good book recommended by a trusted source goes into my TBR pile. I use Goodreads to track the books I have read, and I am doing great against my 2023 Reading Challenge. Reading brings me joy, so I don’t see these Reading Challenges as a competition. I see it more as an accomplishment.

I have several fiction and non-fiction categories to shelve a book into. I find this organization useful to find books I have read, especially when friends ask for book recommendations. I create new shelves when I read a book that does not quite fit on my existing shelves, and I decide it needs its own space. I recently made a new shelf called women-in-stem for novels that featured female protagonists working in the stem field. I have three books filed under this, and I am sure I will be adding many more.
