I either add it to "want to read" on Goodreads, or my "Books" wishlist on amazon (since I have a kindle).

Yeah it's the wishlist that failed to record my choices. I'm going to find something else

How strange. I've been using the amazon wishlist for like 10 years and have never had a single problem with it. The only issues I've had have been a result of me having multiple lists and forgetting to choose the right one.

Same, I add to both lists. I scroll through my Amazon kindle wishlist daily and buy the books on sale. I rarely ever buy a book at regular price because almost all the books go on sale at some point. I think I’ve only paid regular price for Michelle and Barack Obama’s books because I couldn’t wait and also thought they deserved my money.

I try and only buy a book when I'm ready to start reading it, which is why I really like e-readers, because you can buy a book on the spot, even while laying in bed.

I used to spend lots of money buying books I might want to read "some day" and ended up with bookshelves full of books that I would probably never actually get around to reading.

Now, when I've finished one book, I scroll through my "want to read" lists, pick one, buy it, and start reading it immediately. Saves me money.
