I am going to attempt to try to add a small picture of each of the books for reference. Some times having a picture of the book’s cover helps me to remember if I have read it or not.

When publishers change the cover of the book it does not help as much. LOL

I’m experimenting with how various size, formats and layout options. If you have a favorite or if one style appeals to you more than another let me know.
