Whew, do I have my work cut out for me?
WOW
Hi Gwen! .. that's quite the list!
maybe if you started out by adding the titles and author, line, release date info ... and then maybe add a note that you'll try to get back to add more
you can always go back and use the "Edit" to add more ... but at least then the book read will count for the Challenge
I can certainly see where that would be a daunting task! .... I like what a see on your list too :D

Daunting indeed!!
I think that's what I'll have to do. I hate to leave so many empty blogs, but it'll be easier to fill them in later and at least my books will count. Sometimes, I just have difficulty with knowing what to write. Many of the books I read are average books that are entertaining without producing a need to comment. I think maybe I'll save my reviews for books that produce a stronger reaction (good or bad).
Thanks!!
Gwen .....
It's always nice to have opinions on books read ... though I can certainly understand time constraints and yes, finding the right words for those "average yet good" reads
you're including your rating, so that's good .... maybe in the tag line you could add key words that describe the book ..... such as for Intrigues -- PI, Detective, murder, hidden identity, missing person, kidnapping, violence, shooting, .... for historicals--- regency, american west, scotland, fiesty heroine, duke, sheriff ....... for Presents -- Italy, Greece, alpha hero, orphan, tortured past, reunion, betrayal, hidden pregnancy
I gave some ideas one of my blogs .... About those "nifty tags"
whatever else you can give is always welcome!
with all you read ... I'm glad you're posting them ... we can use your huge contribution!

Good idea...
about the tags. I'll try to make more use of them. Off subject, since you seem to be in the know, I was wondering how you do signatures. I know where to go, but when I try to put something there, it just blends in with the rest of the blog. How do you put the divider and change the font size? I'm pretty quick at picking up stuff like this, but I'm stumped with this signature thing.
Thanks!
Seventy five books!
Now you know why I don't let myself get a whole month behind - it's
bad enough letting myself get a week behind, that's between fifteen and twenty-five books
Good luck!
I prepare a doc file with my impressions and my tags, the rating (from poor to excellent) the sensuality level (affectionate to Inferno) and the Dream Team tag so people can find it
my "default" settings are "Good, sensual, Dream Team" and I change as necessary
I also have all my books in a TBR file and I just cut and paste from one to the other as applicable
Just in case something like that would work for you to speed things up
