Hey Jennifer,You can edit your original list when you want to add a new title, if you want, instead of creating a new list each time you want to add a title. Might make it easier on you.
If you just look at the bottom right-hand corner of your post, you'll see a little edit toggle. Click that and you can edit your original post to add your updates.
Also, I noticed on both your A-Z Title and Author lists you are missing the letter V. Just thought I would give you the heads up. :-)
I just joined but am going to do mine from January to December. I kept a log of all the books I've read to date this year.
A - AngelMonster; The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian; Alpha Dog; Anne of Green Gables
B - Bewitching Season; The Boy in the Striped Pajamas; The Boy From the Basement; The Book of Lost Things; The Butterfly Garden
C - Coraline; Club Dead;
D - Dead to the World; Dry: A Memoir
E - Evermore
F -
G - The Graveyard Book; The Goose Girl
H - The Hunger Games; House of Night: Hunted
I - I Capture the Castle; I, Coriander
J -
K -
L - The Luxe; Looking for Alaska; A Little Princess
M -
N - A Northern Light
O - The Other Boleyn Girl
P - Poison Study; Promise Not to Tell
Q -
R - Revealers; The Remarkable Life and Times of Eliza Rose
S - Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants; The Second Summer of the Sisterhood; Speak; Stargirl
T - Thirteen Reasons Why
U - Uninvited
V - The Virgin Suicides
