Blogiesta

 

Today I had planned on attending the local annual reading festival. However, after a late night and a few months of feeling "off", I decided I would rather stay home and focus on blog-related items than walking around in the hot sun. I decided that I needed an old-fashioned "blogiesta". I'm going to spend the day reading, writing reviews, and focusing on blog-related catch-up. On my list of "what I'd like to get through today":

• Write a review of Before Dorothy
• Write a review of Best Offer Wins
• Organize my thoughts on the blog
• Read at least 100 pages of Sky Full of Elephants
• Listen to a couple of chapters of Prequel on audio
• Review books out on Netgalley
• Schedule upcoming books to read
• Update reviews on Goodreads, BookBrowse, Netgalley

We'll see how much I get through while what I really feel like doing is "siesta-ing".

MINI-BLOGGIESTA (July 2014)

I've decided to join in on my first Bloggiesta! I'm behind on some things on my blog and need to devote a little time to it. And this weekend is the start of my stay-cation. So this is a good time to take the plunge!

I have a long list of "to do" items, but essentially:

• Catch up on reviews
• Catch up on scheduling book introductions
• Setup templates for some future reviews I'll be doing
• Setup some blank "Mailbox Monday" templates for future use
• Read some of the present and past mini-challenges
• Create a schedule for scanning Twitter, Klout, checking some other book blogs and Facebook pages, etc.
• Visit some new blogs

I have a full weekend planned, so we'll see how much I get accomplished. Here's wishing a productive weekend to all participating in the Bloggiesta!

UPDATE: I didn't get enough done through the official bloggiesta, but I'm on vacation this week, and I'll be continuing on throughout the week in trying to accomplish more of my goals.
