in 2024 I covered myself with 272 books. Years back on Litsy I bemoaned my inability to retain all I read. I paraphrase a Litten response - Like eating I read to live. I don‘t remember every meal I ate this year, and I don‘t recall every book read. But the great ones, oh boy, do I remember those! …So, it‘s like that - along with spoilers and my subjective ratings on the backside of every #indexcard pictured! Happy 2025 you gorgeous Littens!

bookandbedandtea I love your index cards! Happy New Year 🎉 3w

AnnCrystal @marleed there are ways, if you have the correct ink in your home printer, you can copy them into iron-on paper and make yourself an art quilt. They also have a few different fabric markers, where you draw directly into cloth when making next year's collection and then iron them after to set ink or toss them in the dryer. 3w

Chelsea.Poole Wow, this is excellent! Happy New Year! 3w

DogMomIrene Wowza! Are those 3x5 or 5x7 index cards? Do you stand on a chair to get that shot? Or do you need a ladder? 3w

marleed @DogMomIrene They are heavy-weight 3x5 cards. And I stand on my small step ladder and do my best to reach over as many rows possible to get the shot. I downsized by 1/3 the size of the home we had built to raise my kids. This house is 40 years older and with low ceilings so my head would go through the ceiling if I didn‘t hunch over on that step ladder as I reach my phone to the center😜. I must look ridiculous in my attempt! 3w

kspenmoll Love your book tracking method & list!!!! 3w

DogMomIrene @marleed Wow! You should get someone to take a photo of this event, even if it‘s just for you. Very cool tradition! 3w

marleed @DogMomIrene My son is a director of photography for an advertising agency. I‘ve actually never showed him this annual photo because I‘m pretty sure he‘d respond with - you do what with every book you read. 🤣 🤣. For the last 5 years he‘s also spent the last week after Christmas at Times Square with a press pass (hotel room and importantly - bathroom) shooting/editing video for a client. Hey, shouldn‘t a mom have priority 🤣🤣 3w

DogMomIrene @marleed Yes! Mom should have priority! And her book cards. 3w

marleed @DogMomIrene 🤣🤣👏 3w

Suet624 I just saw this post and holy moly! I‘ve always loved your cards and seeing them all laid out is spectacular. 2w

Last batch of entries for my 2024 #indexcard collection before I throw all 12 months into a single pile for the annual pic - then tediously sort them by author last name into years worth of cards. So my day is planned!

marleed @dabbe I order these Staedler markers from Amazon because they don‘t bleed to the backside of my heavyweight card where I keep my notes with a fine line no bleed black sharpie. Link - https://a.co/d/fwfGqRs 3w

What entertains me about my #indexcard collection is I don‘t differentiate between physical, e-book, or audio, thrifted, pre-purchased, or library loan - it‘s just stories I‘ve consumed. And good lord, I need the spoilers written on the backsides to re-open the ‘pages‘ locked in the cavernous halls of my brain!

I‘m a mood reader but can‘t believe I stayed on theme for the entire month! My issue is I stacked my Oct TBR all year and need an additional couple months to flatten said TBR so I‘ll just redate tomorrow to Oct 32!

September was all about reading books on my TBR that might not fit my seasonal reading moods for the remainder of the year. I think I did okay! #MonthlyWrapUp #IndexCard

marleed @BookmarkTavern @bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella @AnnCrystal @dabbe @CoverToCoverGirl Oh thank you! The front sides are fun to do. I jot down my star rating for the books on the back lined pages. I don‘t write down my feelings about the book though. Instead I use the lines to write plot points and spoilers that will jog my feeble memory when trying to recall just what was in the books I read 🤪 4mo

AnnCrystal @marleed that\'s brilliant 📚🎨😎👍💝. 4mo

For the most part this month I selected books based on cover art providing me a summer feel. I‘m a mood reader, and as September settles in my reading plans take a drastic turn. No telling if these books would have made it off my 2025 TBR so I feel good about this wrap up! #indexcard

marleed @Ruthiella @AnnCrystal Thank you - it really is the response to this post that allows me to keep up and not give up with these cards. It‘s funny how a few written spoilers and my very subjective rating help to pull the reading experience back from the deep cavernous tunnels of my brain 🧠 6mo

God of the Woods

marleed @dabbe @AnnCrystal @Ruthiella @peanutnine Thank you! There is definitely a deeper memory trigger for me when I read my own writing about something. …And you caught the pink paint drip 😁😁 6mo

Halfway through the year and I‘ve been captivated by so many books - both the treasures quietly resting on my shelves awaiting my recognition of their brilliance and the bright shiny books dazzling me every Tuesday on publication day. Just how do authors manage to write so many good and new stories!?

Well, I‘m minutes away from hosting my 10 month-old grandson for the next 4 days and 3 nights - by myself! And some of that daytime will also include his first cousin and my 22 month-old grandson. 3 year-old twins will be in Branson, MO and - goodness I love them- told there parents‘ they‘d rather stay with me! ….I think it‘s safe to lock in my #indexcard collection for May!

marleed @TheBookgeekFrau @LiteraryinLawrence @dabbe @UwannaPublishme @lil1inblue @bthegood @BookmarkTavern @CoverToCoverGirl Thanks everyone! And we survived 4 days and 3 overnights. We‘ll see if I did enough to convince Sparky I‘m his favorite person in the world. Sparks is 1 year younger and 5 pounds heavier than the grandson I watch Mon-Thurs. Holy cow, does my back ever recognize that difference! I‘ll be crawling to bed now 🛌🥱 8mo

TheBookgeekFrau @marleed Of course you're his favorite person in the world! Sleep well, being the favorite is damn hard work 😁💕 8mo

MemoirsForMe Whew! Now you can relax! 😅 8mo
