So many books, so little time…Of the 500+ books that I own, I’ve read maybe a half-dozen of them. They are all listed on LibraryThing. Most of the time, I swap them on Bookmooch or Bookins after I’ve read them. I plan to just give short reviews about them as I complete the books so that I can keep a running list. I have taken on the “50 books challenge in 2009″ with Goodreads and the “75 books challenge in 2009″ with LibraryThing.
We absolutely love book sales, and one of the groups I joined on Goodreads introduced me to booksalefinder.com; it keeps us informed of when they are in our area.
A lot of the books I own, and eventually read are probably old news by now, but better blog about them later than never, right?

I agree, book sales and other book events are fantastic. I love visiting bookstores, reading groups and writers’ circles. I talk to a lot of reading groups in libraries – it’s not ‘commercial’, the members can read my book as a library book and don’t need to buy it in order to read it, but I don’t mind that. I just enjoy meeting readers.
