Bloggiesta Wrap-Up

I had high goals for Bloggiesta, and although I did not achieve them all, I got started.


Here is what I was working on:

• Update my Reviews by Title page (started)

I made a list of all the books I reviewed since I started this blog (since 2009) and have started to check off those which are listed in my Reviews by Title page. Even though I didn't finish this task, just having that list makes it easy to keep track and to keep updating.

• Update my Reviews by Author page (didn't do) 

Like I mentioned above, I now I have the list of all books read and I can get started on this too.

• Update my Books Read in 2012 page (done!)
• Update challenge lists and link posts with hosts (done!)
• Write up my post for BBW (done!)
• Write up my three pending reviews (done!)

I took stock of my participation in the 10 challenges I decided to take on in 2012, three of which I am hosting. I've completed only two so far and almost finished with a few, but I am lagging behind in others. This inventory has made me reflect and come up with two solutions:

• I'm reserving November and December to catch up so that I finally get to read the books I really want (that's partly why I'm doing the challenges, right?), and in 2013 I'm not going to participate in as many challenges.
• I'm going to be accepting less review books from now and in 2013 so I could catch up on all the wonderful books on my bookshelf and e-reader that I absolutely want to read!!

I'm now looking forward to the next Bloggiesta in March 2013. The organizers have created a blog specifically for Bloggiesta so we can keep up with all the challenges and as a resource for all the great articles bloggers have written on tips to maintain and enhance blogging.

Thanks for reading my blog!
