I seldom get through this many books in a month. I guess my #indexcard collection is my distraction from heat.

We are 1/3 the way through 2025, such a blip of time at this point in my life😂👵 Good thing I have my #indexcard collection to indicate how I utilized that speeding time.

I have neither finished a book in the last week, nor scrolled through Litsy - I miss you and need both of these things in my life! I did sneak my March #indexcard effort a into my closet for a quick pic 🤣

marleed @bookandbedandtea @AnnCrystal @dabbe @CoverToCoverGirl Thank you. I‘ve had irl grown-up company/family at my house for 2 weeks and haven‘t even shown my cards - in fact the backs of some these are still blank waiting for a quiet moment to jot down my rating and spoilers. All that to explain, I so appreciate your comments 💕 4mo

A good thing I can say about all those cold days and nights of February is how good it feels to wrap up in a blanket and fall into a book. #indexcard collection

marleed @Ruthiella @AnnCrystal @Leftcoastzen @dabbe Thank you! Honestly, your kind words really are the encouragement that keeps me on task with this collection! 5mo
CoverToCoverGirl You made a challenging and sad day much brighter. 💙💙💙 I love your monthly art display. 5mo
marleed @CoverToCoverGirl Ahh, thank you. They are fun to do. And my spoilers on the short 10 lines of the backside are often times my mental challenge to capture🤣 5mo
marleed @CoverToCoverGirl I hope today is looking better for you 🥰🥰 5mo

My favorite thing about my 3x3 grid is mapping out the back side of my #indexcard stack to determine who gets the tag. Brooke, turns out this one is for you!

5* = Loved It, want to shout out loud about this book! I do/will own/keep a physical copy. A+
4*= I liked it, would love to discuss. Solid B
3*=Meh, no need to discuss. Avg C
2*=Nope D
1*=DNF F

eeclayton Looks like a great reading month 😎 6mo

marleed @eeclayton I basically hibernate during Kansas City‘s two Uary months so good books are a must! 6mo
marleed @AvidReader25 I keep thinking about it. I just really liked the delivery of her 5th decade experiences. 6mo
marleed @TheBookHippie I‘m really glad I read this. It wasn‘t an easy read for me but I liked how it centered itself on faith without being current-day American Christian Nationalist. I likely would have skipped the book had it been published post-2016 for fear of that narrative. 6mo
TheBookHippie @marleed #nunlit section and I was wary but like you saw the pub date and figure it was probably okay. I checked the publisher too 😅😂. I think it‘s important to read different faiths than mine as long as it‘s not agenda propaganda this fit that pretty well. 6mo

My body seems to have completely forgotten its Western Montana roots (maybe it was those 5 San Antonio winters I experienced🤣), because I can‘t even abide Kansas City‘s ‘Uary‘ months with comfort and ease. But at least I covered myself in the warmth of books and contributed to my new year of my #indexcard collection!

Ruthiella Beautiful! 😍 6mo

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!

Meshell1313 Holy. Moly. 🙌🎉 7mo

marleed @Meshell1313 @Ruthiella @Seabreeze_Reader @AmyG @AnnCrystal @BookmarkTavern @dabbe @Deblovestoread Thanks everyone! if only I could scan those cards and have them spit out a cloth quilt! 7mo
bookandbedandtea I love your index cards! Happy New Year 🎉 7mo
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. 7mo

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? 7mo
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! 7mo
kspenmoll Love your book tracking method & list!!!! 7mo
DogMomIrene @marleed Wow! You should get someone to take a photo of this event, even if it‘s just for you. Very cool tradition! 7mo
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 🤣🤣 7mo
DogMomIrene @marleed Yes! Mom should have priority! And her book cards. 7mo
marleed @DogMomIrene 🤣🤣👏 7mo
Suet624 I just saw this post and holy moly! I‘ve always loved your cards and seeing them all laid out is spectacular. 7mo

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 7mo
