A REGISTERofBOOKS READ
Wherein are set down, in the Order of their Reading, the Books perused by the Author; with Marks distinguishing such as have been Reviewed, Read again, or held in particular Esteem.
The Register is kept with Commonplace, an app I made to replace pen and paper and clunky old Goodreads.
