I feel your pain, being a book dragon myself and a Keeper of Thoughts. I tried many different ways of organizing my booklife myself, and finally settled upon letting someone else do it–I use webinspect’s Simple Bookshelf. He is upgrading it this coming week to work for Bases, amongst other nifty things. So here’s how I organize: I have a page for each book within this setup, and I use it as the book’s home base–notes, last read, DNF, the whole works. Then I set up a simple chart for tracking the next book in series, pictured here, which links to the book pages in question, so I don’t lose my place. The authors’ and illustators’ pages within the system are in my one big People folder, along with everyone else, and the metadata on the book page is clickable.
Here’s the top of one of my book pages, I add the cover as the feature image as well.
