#Bloggiesta Mini Challenge: Organize them Books!

Jenn’s Bookshelves is hosting this mini challenge and there aren’t much guidelines to join. But heck.. something fill it up I guess. Here are a few info on how I organize my books.

How do I keep up with what I have in my collection?
I found great sites just for tracking my books at Goodreads & Librarything. Both of which are accessible by my phone and easily maintain. I occasionally download my list to keep up and do some manual stuff through my computer via Excel. In that file, I have it organized much more to ‘Price’, ‘Author’, ‘Title’, ‘Series’, ‘Genre’, ‘Year Acquired’, 'Copy' (subdivide to ARC, Review, Borrowed, Bought). I must admit I haven’t been very nice with this excel list.

Bookshelves organization?
Physical Bookshelves.

2 book shelves
5 big Storage containers,
6 delivery boxes (I have yet to unpack)
a couple of boxes of books for garagesale
my external hard drives.

Divided by Fiction, Non-Fiction & Reference. Series are all grouped together. My ARC & Review books are all placed together on a separate shelf so I don’t get them mixed up with my books.

Online Database (GR, LT, Excel). My system is very much OCD-ed. Tags are my organization best friend and my enemy roll in one.

TBR, Read, Wishlist
Fiction, Non-Fiction & Reference
Sub-Divide: Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Literary, etc.
Author, Title, Year acquired, Publicist, Country, Arc, Review… etc…

Before I start, I thought I should make an update from last night. These are the things I’ve been tackling on:

Creating Challenge Progress bars. This was toughy! My maths were all wonky… Very wonky and all over the place. But I manage nicely enough.
Clean up my sidebars reading challenge. Merged 3 of the some what similar challenges to minimize space. I’m still figuring out what to do with the rest.
Creating cheat sheets. Yes this was a bit of time consuming. Figuring out how to clean up my cheat sheets for my reviews and meme. I need to figure out who host what nowadays due to blog tours lol
And saw a bit of a monkey visitor in the progress. o.0

In The Mailbox Monday: 23 - 24 January 2011

Mailbox Monday (currently hosted by Knitting and Sundries) & In My Mail is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday & In My mail can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

These are the ones I got for last week =D Yup THAT many! Got them from friends, publisher, etc =D I'm just worried on how fast I be able to review them. Yeah.. I need to read faster...
