Do you keep track of how many books you read?

I was thinking about this quote from Rory Gilmore where she said "Thirteen million volumes? I've read 300 books in my entire life, and I'm already 16? You know how long I would need to read 13 million books?" from the Gilmore Girls episode The Road Trip to Harvard.

It had me thinking that at 16, I had no idea how many books I had read at that point. I don't remember when I started to keep track of the books I read. But once I did, I started with a Reading List that I made and copied so that I had plenty of sheets to write down all the books I was reading. Then I moved on to using GoodReads to keep track but I haven't updated that in a long time. Now, I don't keep track at all that is unless I count posting my reviews on my blog, Book Girl. But that's still not really keeping track of my reading.

Anyway, I was thinking of going back to keeping track because I think it will help motivate me with my reading. I'm going to start with the next book I'll read after I finish reading and reviewing Tarnished and Torn (A Witchcraft Mystery book #5) by Juliet Blackwell. Which will be soon, I'm nearly finished with this book.
