Randi's 2020 book covers

[Vanessa]

Don't you just love the beginning of the year? Almost everything fits into a category.

[Kristi (foxtail_too)]

Vanessa wrote: "Don't you just love the beginning of the year? Almost everything fits into a category."

Yes! And then, late in the year, I'll be thrilled when I get one entry from 5 books. That's why I like doing the book covers so much.

[Vanessa]

Kristi... Me too! At least with the book covers it looks like progress.

[Vanessa]

Weirdest thing has happened, all of my book covers no longer show up under this topic on my android phone. Goodreads has got to fix this app. It's gone from bad to worse. Bummer! ☹

[HappyBookWorm2020]

Fortunately for me, I've been doing binge reading of the Incryptid series so I know I started reading those in 2020. Helping out in the titles section, not so much in the author!

I am doing Titles as my A to Z challenge:

A-
B- Badger to the Bone
C- Come Tumbling Down, Chaos Choreography
D- Discount Armageddon Seanan McGuire
E-
F-
G- The Girl in the Green Silk Gown

I never finish authors, partly because I read series as well.

[Vanessa]

I don't always either. I'm just happy to have a place to list my books. That's why I am so glad to have the book cover entry.

[Vanessa]

How is everyone doing? I'm finding few things to fill in. Happy Reading All!!

[Kristi (foxtail_too)]

Vanessa wrote: "How is everyone doing? I'm finding few things to fill in. Happy Reading All!!"

Thank heavens for the covers! At least I get to add something for each book! (And, Vanessa, you can add a new location with EB—isn't it a wonderful book!)

[Vanessa]

OMG... It really is, I loved it. We probably will need to start a spoiler discussion. Yes, my only saving grace lately has been adding covers, LOL!! :-)

[Vanessa]

Even though I try to be careful, I am still missing a book in my Book Covers post. My 2020 books read doesn't match up to my covers. I guess that I had better pay closer attention.

Happy Reading Everyone! :-)

Vanessa wrote: "Even though I try to be careful, I am still missing a book in my Book Covers post. My 2020 books read doesn't match up to my covers. I guess that I had better pay closer attention.

This is the only place I'm keeping track of mine. And I'm still glad we are doing covers, so I can see where I am!

[Vanessa]

Boy oh boy! I can't seem to fill in any blanks, except my Bookcovers, sadly I'm off by one of those and can't find it.
Happy Reading and Good Luck!

I'm at the same place! I did add a narrator recently. I still love doing this though, even if I'm only adding book covers.

[Vanessa]

I agree, it's fun to try & fill all of the categories. I probably won't but that's still ok w/me.

[Vanessa]

I think that it is going to take me 2 weeks to try and enter all of my books for this year. Oh well better luck next year.

I'm going to add another A-Z for 2021. Good Luck Everyone!! :-)

Well, I never finish, but I love keeping track this way!

Thanks for setting up 2021. There's always next year! And we will have that lovely time at the beginning in which every book works for multiple categories.
