MARCH 22-24, 2013
Bloggiesta is here!
It will be low key this year, as I work regularly in my blog. A few things:
- Participate in a #bloggiesta twitter party – I did for 30 mn on Friday, mostly gave some input on my best replacement for Google reader. MayBE participate again on Sunday.
- Update my About Me page – needed only about ebooks; added my Pinterest link.
- Plan to finish my alphabetical list of authors I have reviewed! = I DID IT!!! Looks like I have at this mn 234 reviews on my blog. Not bad
- Maybe: participate in a few mini-challenges, if I find some exciting ones – see below.
- Maybe: back-up my blog – DONE!
- Maybe: update the list of blogs I follow (right menu) – just added a whole bunch of book blogs starting with A or B. More to come!
Mini-challenges:
- Google Reader replacement options
- Left a comment about Reviewing in many places
HOW IS YOUR BLOGGIESTA GOING?
Words And Peace 
Hi Emma,
Just wanted to let you know I finished your book “A Light to Enlighten the Darkness” the other day. It was a blessing to be reading it as the sun came up. Just wish a few houses weren’t in the way!
God bless,
Lorraine

I would love to be included in your book blogger list! And good luck with the About Me page – I find it so hard to talk about myself! I’d much rather talk about someone else’s book 🙂 I hope you check out my Bloggiesta To Do List or join my mini-challenge about getting involved!

Thanks. Right now, I’m following over 300 blogs, so I’ll wait a bit before adding more…
Good luck for your To Do list!
Interesting challenges; I did not know about the map to find the Little Libraries, I may swing by the closest to me. thanks.
Oh I did my About Page during a previous Bloggiesta, just needed to update the ebooks part, as I said.

Oh, okay! And yes, the map feature is how I found the one closest to me, too! The first one I heard about was in IL, which was not a convenient drop off location.

Tomorrow I must backup my blog!!! I’ve been so lazy about that one!! I see you have the Colorado Book Month button on your blog.. do you live in Colorado??? http://angelasanxiouslife.blogspot.com/2013/03/bloggestia-march-2012-starting-line.html#comment-form

I don’t know for blogspot, but with wordpress.com, it only takes 30 seconds to backup my blog. I plan to do it now at each bloggiesta.
Yes I have the Colorado Book Month button, but I’m not in Colorado. funny, if you had clicked on it, you would have seen why: I’m trying to read 1 book/state this year, and as I discovered March was Colorado month, so I did double duty here. I actually just finished to read my book for it yesterday: Plainsong, by Kent Haruf, such a beautiful book. I’ll read more by that author, I really enjoy his writing, and he just has a brand new one out. Have you read any of his?

I always try to keep my blog updated but I often fall behind in one thing or another. I keep saying next time I get caught up, I’m going to stay that way – we’ll see!!!
I decided to go with bloglovin for now as a replacement feed reader – still playing around with it but so far it seems to be ok.
Here’s my Bloggiesta to-do list.
Good luck with the rest of your to-do list!

thanks, yes that was good to work seriously on that, especially the title archive! I now add to it each time I review a book, but I was not doing this when i created the blog, so I had to go back to the very first posts. and I got the idea of a title archive at some previous Bloggiesta!
