To Read Lists

How do you do it? 

How do you keep track of the myriad fascinating sounding books that cross your desk every day as part of working in a library?  How do you remember the name of that novel that your coworker just raved about for fifteen minutes in the break room?  How about that intriguing book on the shelf which caught your attention while you were supposed to be looking for a title for a patron?

You can’t check everything out–you just can’t.  And if you request it, everything seems to come at once, and if it’s popular at all, you need to give it up after two weeks.

So how do you handle it?  Have you figured out a great way to use Library Thing for this, or Amazon Wishlist, or even our own MyList function on Horizon?

If you’ve got a great way of managing your To Read Lists, please do share with this overwhelmed reader.  Thanks!  (Carol J.)
