Filling the Bucket

This morning, after having spent time with a colleague who has a beer app to track all the different kinds of beer he has tried (rating them, taking photos of them, etc) I thought, 

there must be a good app out there to track all of the books I have read, want to read and am reading! 

Well, it turns out there are a few websites and apps dedicated to just that. I decided to give Goodreads a try. After I was scanning through my blog posts to find books that I had read and written reviews for, I came across my bucket list posts and updates. Well, there are a few more things I can check off the list!
