It‘s April and once again my tax bill was significant. So this #IndexCard display represents in part a game I play …. In my head I subtract $15 from my tax bill for each new release I‘m able to nab from the library. This month I subtracted $225 - not bad, but I have a long way to go 🤪
April 2024 #MonthlyWrapup

slategreyskies I‘ve seen that some libraries will keep a running tally for you and print it out on your checkout receipts. It‘ll say something like, “So far this year, you‘ve saved $435 by using your local library.” I think that‘s a really good idea, and I wish my library did that. I‘d find it fascinating to see my tally go up over the course of the year. 1w

marleed @slategreyskies oh my gosh, that‘s a great idea! A few years ago I received a breakdown that showed how much of my state taxes went to support the public library. I thought it was fascinating and realized at the very least we should all read enough library book to match those amounts. 1w

bookandbedandtea I love your monthly wrap ups! 🤩 1w

dabbe My favorite end-of-the-month posting! 🤩🤩🤩 1w

marleed @bookandbedandtea @dabbe Thank you, your comments mean so much to me! 1w

It‘s a wrap on February 2024 and most of these books were pulled from my physical shelves.

….My read & unread books are mixed together on my shelves with a translucent paragraph tab on the spine of unread books. It feels good to finally pull more tabs than I add in a given month. If I plan to donate the book, I'll turn the spine out on my shelves.

jlhammar Wow, another amazing month! Love how your Covenant of Water card turned out. I‘m just finishing up Neighbors, been reading a story or two each day - really good. 2mo

Cuilin 😍😍😍 2mo

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 2mo

BookmarkTavern Oh the Covenant of Water looks gorgeous! 2mo

marleed @jlhammar @Cuilin @dabbe @BookmarkTavern Oh thank you! I have as much fun submitting this post as I do making the cards. Honestly I may have given up the effort if it weren‘t for the wonderful Litten comments! 2mo

My first stack for the 2024 #indexcard collection is complete! Nice that I have this representation because many were a result of shuffling Libby holds. I wanted to work down that virtual stack since much of Feb will be looking at my physical shelves. #MonthlyWrapUp January 2024

Ruthiella Gorgeous as usual! 😍 3mo

marleed @SamAnne Even though I had a December head start with Demon and Jan lasted 529 days in my neck of the woods, my books consist of physical, ebook, and audio. I live on my own these days and watch little TV, so if my eyes aren‘t landing on words, I‘m likely listening to an audiobook. I often do both, simultaneously! 3mo

marleed @Cuilin @jlhammar @dabbe @Ruthiella Thank you - you make my day!💕 3mo

I just had to see what my #BookSpin and #DoubleSin list looked like (arranged BS, DS, BS, DS… Jan-Dec). I didn‘t keep track as each month ended so I traveled back through my entire year of Litsy posting to build this! I‘m thrilled realizing many of these books would remain upon my TBR had I not participated in this challenge. The average rating is 4.25, and that‘s a B+! Thank you @TheAromaofBooks for hosting this each year! #indexcard

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 5mo

marleed @dabbe For 2023 I played this challenge by category but didn‘t track my BS or DS once the month was finished. Oh my gosh, it was so interesting for me to see how this list fell out and to average out my subjective ratings which I record on the backside. I‘m thrilled I read some of these books that were so long on my TBR! And some of those books were donated to area LFLs! 5mo

dabbe @marleed You are WAY more organized than me! 🤩😂😘 5mo

According to the hen-scratch on the backsides of my #indexcard collection, these are my #Top230f23. I disqualified from consideration rereads, one 5* novella, and nonfiction. My favorite is tagged, and the first 10 (by row and in no particular) are my #Top10of23.

@Cinfhen my heart aches from this war and for your pain. @BarbaraBB you are the best for continuing this tradition in Cindy‘s honor.

Ruthiella Beautiful! 😍 And I‘m pleased to see a few titles that I‘ve also read and enjoyed. 5mo

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 5mo

marleed @Ruthiella @dabbe Thanks, one of my favorite things is reading everyone‘s lists. In fact, I‘m going to give a couple days next week where all my reading is dedicated to reading/reviewing/researching lists created by others. I‘m gonna need a bigger TBR! (edited) 5mo

marleed @BarbaraBB @BookmarkTavern Thank you! It‘s so fun to look this year‘s stack of cards and participate in end of year lists. It‘s interesting to me because all year I simply look at the current month of cards! 5mo

How can it be only one more month before my 2023 #indexcard collection is sorted (by author) in with 4 previous years of cards. I‘m gonna need a bigger box!

#MonthlyWrapUp November 2023

JessieKB What a cool idea!!! 5mo

kspenmoll I love this idea! 5mo

Ruthiella I‘m noticing (for the first time) that you sometimes color coordinate the book cover with your cards! 😃 The Push, Iron Flame and Tom Lake… 5mo

marleed @JessieKB @kspenmoll Thank you! It‘s fun and relaxing to do, and my subjective rating and spoiler notes on the lined side of the car are remarkably helpful and jogging my memory to a nearly forgotten reading experience! 5mo
