  • It's time for a series overhaul and a big reorganisation of my (very simple) reading spreadsheet/tracker - this year I've only kept the series tracker around! Here I'm going through all of my series and sorting out the priority reads for 2023, the series I'm DNFing and which I need to keep on my radar...

      Ali from Hardback hoarder has a reading spreadsheet which includes a series tracker. Can't speak for older (free) versions of the last few years but for 2023 she charges $5. But it includes tons of Trackers 🙂. She made a video with a walk through ua-cam.com/video/OSd9uc_rGAU/v-deo.html

      I've just made a series tracker for myself. I have done mine so each surname has it's own tab then i put the author, series the books and then a tick box for owned, read, finished and DNF. I then conditional format the Series name so that if the Finished or DNF are ticked it changes colour. It is hard to explain but i can always share it with you as a read only. (if i could include a pic i would)

    I use The StoryGraph for what I've read and brief reviews.
    For my primary TBR I use a simple spreadsheet so I can move books up and down my list based on moods or group reads or availability or any other factors I deem factorable.
    Daily I use a reading journal for longer thoughts and musings. I find longhand works better for me than typing.
    Being a Capricorn, I am forced to be organized. (Being American I misspell organize with a z.)

    I use both Goodreads and Storygraph, and this year I've decided to try doing a reading journal again. Similarly to you, I have tried and failed to use a reading spreadsheet because I always stop updating it at some point and then get overwhelmed with the idea of catching up on it. I might try doing something like this for series though, especially since there are a lot I want to start soon!! Hope you're having a lovely day

    Just a thought, use the paint-roller button to the right of the printer button to make your editing so much quicker. Click on an already formatted cell (wrapped and centred) then click the paint-roller and then drag over any cells to copy the same format 🙂

    I love this! I’ve watched a few series tracker spreadsheet videos and I definitely think this would help me keep track-I’m always forgetting about series I’m in the middle of even when I truly want to continue them. This year I want to stop waiting too long that I have to reread the previous books. I’m a sucker for a good spreadsheet 📊

    I’m torn because my current series tracker sheet looks a little bit like this. But I’m torn between this format and the checkbox format. Maybe I make both? Idk.
    The checkboxes make it so you can condense all the cells down; but I also know that it would be helpful for me to have the names of each of the books.

    A tiny tip: Click the thing "cell?" above number 1 to select the full table Or (cmd+A) and choose your alignment and wrap text choices, this way everything you type will be like you want without having to do it manually every single time.
    + the paintbrush thing someone else talked about ✨
    And now I'm going to go and make a new spreadsheet for my series, I like the idea of having the name of the book rather than numbers.

    To save you having to move rows up and down. Would it be easier to have a column on the left with the sections (completed, pending etc, put a number in front so it puts them in your preferred order) that way you can sort the sheet and also filter. (Drop down option might be easier so no risk of typo) hope that makes sense. X

    Last Argument of Kings is book 3 in the first law trilogy. Best Served Cold is the first of the standalones. But the whole thing is just called First Law World if you just want to put the ten books all together.

    • @AFrolicThroughFiction
      @AFrolicThroughFiction  Рік тому +1

      Maaaaan I even own those books so don’t know how I got the titles wrong 😂 I thought first law was the the universe but split into smaller series within! If it’s done that way I’ll probably keep the trilogies and stand-alone a separate, though we’ll see when I come to actually reading them
