My 2021 bookcovers:

[Vanessa]

I am so far behind in posting my books here that I might as well give up. I can't even get my Goodreads main account straight.

I'm still doing it. I like keeping track here, even if it's just you (sort of) and me!

[DemetraP]

I never do the challenges but I enjoy the books that others picked and seeing more books by lurking.

LURK.

Not at all!! Welcome! I really enjoy doing this each year. I rarely complete any lists, but it's fun to try, and I love keeping track of all my reading with the book covers.

[Vanessa]

I'm hopelessly behind this year but I am resigned to attempting to list all of my books anyway.
There's always next year! :-)
