Bloggiesta Updates

It's Saturday night, and I'm just now getting started on this whole Bloggiesta thing. I finally got everything else done that I needed to do this weekend. Now the fun begins!

My to-do list (it's actually gotten slightly longer since my sign-up post. That's not supposed to be how it works, I know.):
  • Catch up on writing reviews (Complete!)
  • Update reading challenge page with my progress (Complete!)
  • Update reading challenge page with links to posted reviews (Complete!)
  • Add two more quotes to the banner at the top of my home page (Complete!)
  • Try a couple mini-challenges (I joined Riffle, and I created a book map. Lots of fun! - Complete!)
  • Start cross-posting reviews on Goodreads (I got 10 posted. That's enough to count as Complete!)
  • Figure out how to become a Better World Books affiliate (Complete!)
  • Clean up email inbox (Complete!)
I finished my list! I can't believe I got through everything, since I only started Saturday evening. I guess a Sunday afternoon dedicated to book blogging will do that. I think I need a Bloggiesta every weekend! And I'll most definitely be participating in the next one that comes around!

I only started on my list this afternoon myself. I hope you're having a great bloggiesta so far :)

Great list - I really need to work on my Goodreads. Something about Goodreads just makes me bored easily. I just can't put my finger on it!

I don't post my reviews on my blog until quite awhile after I've read the book. I just don't remember to go back and link it up on Goodreads then. Hopefully this will remind me to be better about that!

Wonderful job, Julie! I feel like a bit of a slacker this Bloggiesta. ;)

I'm glad you tried out the book map -- I think you've covered a lot of states already and I hope the map continues to help you in this challenge.

Thanks! The book map was so much fun, and I definitely think it will help me keep track of my challenge!

Wow, that's some great work for basically one day. Sunday ended up being one of my least productive days, unfortunately, but I managed to finish up my goals (thanks mostly to a very productive Thursday and some unexpected time to myself on Saturday).

Congrats on finishing your goals! Sometimes the unexpected time is the most productive!

Congratulations on getting so much done! I'm definitely planning on participating in the next Bloggiesta too. From the twitter chat, it seems like there's a chance the next one will be a week long, spring cleaning style. If so, there'll be so much time to get things done!

A weeklong Bloggiesta would be great. I have so much more I could do, and more time to do it in would be wonderful!

Wow! Well done on completing your Bloggiesta list! Maybe I could interest you in doing a couple of my items? ;) Jk!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
