Making a directory with my posts

I have all my posts on my main page and what i want to do is make another page and have all my posts from the main page in a list on the 2nd page.. for example all my mixtapes are on my main page.. I want to list all my mixtapes on page 2 with the first image in the post and the posts permalink how would i do so? I am using a plugin that lists the post category to the page but it only lists the permalink and wont fetch the image in the post.
