Managing Books Read

i am interested in how other Logos users keep track of the books in their Logos library that they have read, are in the process of reading, or plan to read. What do you do to keep track of these? Thanks.

I tag by my initials and year. So does my wife.

I tag them FINISHED, READING, and TOREAD, respectively.

I sort by reading status in the library pane.

or plan to read.

I add the #ReadLater tag and/or add to my Favourites.

I keep track by listing them in the "layouts" section. This has worked very well for me.

This doesn't work, because Read is a substring of Reading and ToRead, so if you filter your library by mytag:Read, you'll get all of the Reading and ToRead ones as well. That's why I use FINISHED, READING, and TOREAD. All unique strings, none of which is a substring of another.

There is a new feature of the mobile apps called "read later." There is a tag which gets added to the book (I it is #ReadLater ... they changed it a time or two in beta testing). You can add books to this list from the mobile app OR by adding the appropriate tag in the desktop app.

Thanks everyone for your helpful suggestions. How do I access the option in mobile apps?

You must have the latest L9 mobile app.
I believe you need to have purchased L9 or have a FC subscription
To add a book, click on the book's "kebob" (three circles) menu from within the library and select "Add to Read Later"
To view the "read later" list, select the "reading" tab in the library and choose the "read later" group
You can add books to the list from within the desktop app by applying the appropriate tag

I think this might have changed. I use Read, CurrentlyReading, WantToRead, MustRead. When I filter my library using mytag:Read, only those books that have the tag "Read" are displayed.

Plus, in the mobile library, you can multi-select, and then assign 'read later' to all the selected.

I use tagging something like: ReadSlow2024, Skim2021, ReadIntro, ReadInBus ...
