Footering* and 2020 Book List

I can't seem to get my page section to work, the links are wonky. I'm not much into HTML, just the minimum. New Blogger has all sorts of extra steps and I can't seem to get my head around the link aspect.

So I copied and pasted my books read list from the 2020 Books Read page. I can't figure out how to get the page links working for prior years.

I would be most interested in all recommendations, both books and blogger page links.

  1. New Blogger continues to do my head in.
    Love your list - and am very glad to see that most rate at least three stars. I haven't rated my books with that system but there have definitely been some duds this year.
    Footering is a wonderful word. I do a lot of it.

  3. That's a lot of books. I used to read two or three a week, now it's more like one every two or three weeks, I read a lot slower than I used to and of course have the internet to distract me now. I might look up the Michael Connelly one, I enjoyed several others by him.

  5. Thanks for the list. Some interesting ideas here that will go on my 2021 list ... I notice most of the books are by women authors.
