Alright, bring on 2020! I finished gophering and managed to fill in a book for every task even though I won't get anywhere near reading for all of them, I like to be prepared.
It is a lot of work posting all of those titles. I am not quite done posting all of mine yet, but I have them all written down in my spread sheet. My fingers are tired of typing today. I'm going to swing by the library and on to home. Have a nice weekend. If you are topperling - good reading!

I'm going to..."It is a lot of work but so much fun. Now I'm going to work on my serial killer list, and get ready for the rest of my reading.
You have a good weekend too! Happy Reading!
I type them here and then transfer the hyperlink to my spreadsheet. That way, I only type it once and I can load the book from my spreadsheet.
That sounds like a good idea, Janice. I'm really computer illiterate so I just hand write them while gophering and fill in on my thread. I then print out a hard copy too. I know I'm so old school but what can you do? My kids give me grief about it all the time and try to help me occasionally, but I think they've given up on me, lol.
My spreadsheet has a lot more information than just the book title. I learned to note the author and the hard copy pages and other criteria for when I need to report the book after reading. It has references to other cards too, if the book has multiple uses. I talked to my daughter about linking the spreadsheet but most of her suggestions went over my head. My spreadsheet is actually a word document. She said I could copy the link if I sent it to a cloud drive but I don’t currently have one. She just gave me “the look”. 🤨

It's great that we do things differently, isn't it? We can learn from each other. My son and I had a chat about my tracking spreadsheets and I have some great ideas about how to set up the 2020 tracker. I'd better get busy and design it.
Nice list of books you compiled, Lori. Wasn't gophering fun? I'd have a list put together and then I physically went through the books I owned and found more that fit, so I wouldn't have to get new ones (I'm trying to work through the pile I already own).

I pretty much do the same thing, Suzanne, my first choices are books I own, then ones on my tbr pile or ones that are in series I'm working on. Then if none of those work I'll try to find something that sounds good that I might like. I also check other members lists if I'm stuck and borrow their ideas.
Anyway, hope we all have a great year of reading!
