I had three tasks planned to work on this weekend for the 2nd Annual Bloggiesta:
~ Add blogs from my Google Reader to my blogroll. – finished
~ Rewrite some reviews of books read in 2008 and early 2009 from when I blogged elsewhere.
~ Get some e-mails sent out asking for author interviews for Literary Road Trip posts. – finished
Item two isn’t finished, but I’ve made huge progress – I have saved all of those old reviews as drafts here at my new blog. Now when I have time – and need a post – I can re-format and rewrite one. I’m not sure if I’ll make much more progress today, but I feel good about the progress I did make. Thanks, Natasha, for hosting the Bloggiesta and getting me motivated!
Other bookish posts lately:
~ Still time to enter my New Year’s Shelf-Cleaning Giveaway.
~ Book Review: Questions About Angels: Poems by Billy Collins
~ Book Review: Now and Then by Jacqueline Sheehan
~ Book Review: Things That Make Us [Sic] by Martha Brockenbrough
~ Book Review: Paper Towns by John Green
And don’t forget, I added Google Friend connect, so I’d love it if you clicked the “join this site” button in the top of the left-hand sidebar.
Have a great Sunday! What are you reading today?
ah… that whole rewriting thing would just really suck. Man, I feel for you. That would just be so depressing. But you’ve gotten a lot done

Sandy – it sounds like you’ve had enough going on at your house to keep you plenty busy without Bloggiesta!
Great job! And I have to say, thank you! You made my day when I saw my site listed on your blog roll.

1stdaughter – thanks. And you’re welcome.
You’ve made some great progress! I didn’t think to rewrite some of my posts. I think I will! I still have a long ways to go before bloggiesta is over for me: about 5 reviews. Have a great night.

Vasilly – I’m only rewriting them because I have to make them different than when they posted on the other site. Since they paid me (only $1 or less) per post, they technically own then, and I have to change them enough to have them be mine. Even though I wrote them in the first place It’s messed up – they really are a huge scam, and I wish I hadn’t started there.

You made excellent progress. I had a huge to-do list, but didn’t complete it all! But I think I made a lot of headway on the things I did list.

Serena – it feels good to get things crossed of the list, doesn’t it?
Great job! Good luck with the rewriting on old reviews.
