I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Never too old to learn, right? Thanks for the help. I will probably need more as we go along, but I am determined.

[Tracy]

you can in box me if you want ... but YAY!!!!! I see book links, just like everyone else's list. If you want to get fancy and add covers ( I put mine at the bottom of my list because they look so pretty I drool) you just go into the box where you're adding the link and at the bottom theres an option to change from link to cover :-)

[Jody]

You did it!! 😁🎉👏🏻

You are spot on, never too old to learn. ☺️

(something else I don't know how to do).

[Tracy]

lol....I'll send you a message...you'll get the hang of it ;-)

Okay, I got all the book club books I could get on the list for the next year, then worked on my To Be Read pile. Working on Kindle downloads now. They have to fit a category somewhere.

[Bryony]

That’s a great list Ann. I read A Man Called Ove earlier this year and it’s one of my favourite books of the year. I hope you’ll enjoy it too.

[MJ]

The Alice Network is on my 2018 list too! And I am really looking forward to reading A Man Called Ove - I read Britt-Marie Was Here earlier this year (same author) and I loved it!
