Boy! Am I getting lazy!?! It used to be that when someone asked me for the identity of an author, I tried to come up with the answer for them. If I didn’t know the author, I would do Google searches until I came up with the correct information. In some cases, I would spend quite a bit of time trying to identify the author, and if I absolutely could not… then I would post an entry asking for your help.
Recently, though, I have changed my modus operandi >>> I have so many authors on the site, I just can’t remember all of them. And that even includes some of the authors I read/follow!
I am not joking when I write about my need to mark off books after I get them. I have one mark which means that I own the book (“*****” after the book’s title) and one mark that indicates that I have read the book (“—–” through the book’s title) >>> I no longer leave anything to chance.

My daughter and I have a three ring binder where we keep our book titles. I print off a sheet of the author and titles that I get from a database at my library. We highlight the author and series in yellow, the books we finish in pink, and the book or series that we don’t like in green. I also always carry a small notebook with me at all times. We have a lot of fun with this activity.
