Book Memes – Writing Wrongs

Booking Through Thursday: Keeping Track

Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.

This week’s prompt:

How do you keep track of the books you’ve read?

Or, do you keep track of them at all? Do you use something like Goodreads or LibraryThing to record the books you’ve read? A physical journal? Or something else? Let us know!

How do you keep track of the books you’ve read?

How do you keep track of the books you've read?

How to play:

On your blog: Copy the question/image for your blog, answer it there, and post a quick comment here with a link or trackback to your post so we can read it.
On social media: Copy the image, answer the prompt, and post a quick comment here with a link.
Right here: Answer in the comments and start the discussion here. No need to have a blog to play.

Note: If it’s your first time here, your comment may end up in moderation. (My spam filter is aggressive.) I’ll be in after my writing sprints to set it free.

P.S. The prompt is always open, and you don’t have to play on Thursday. Comment whenever you like!

Booking Through Thursday: pawsitively purrfect books

This week’s prompt:

Sorry for the pun, but we can’t neglect our feline friends. What are your favorite books with cats? These can be talking cats, of course, but all cats are welcome.

Need some inspiration? Check out the Goodreads lists: Talking Cats Books or Books with a Cat on the Cover.

Not to neglect our feline friends, favorite books with cats (talking or otherwise).

Booking Through Thursday: juggling books

This week’s prompt:

Do you have more than one book on the go at any time? Does it depend on the genre? Maybe you can juggle fiction and nonfiction, but not two of the same? Or are you a one-book-at-a-time reader?
