Blogging Goals

If you've been following my blog, you've probably noticed that I've been a bit of a sporadic blogger lately. I'm happy with the content I've been making, but I've been posting a lot less often and replying to comments pretty slowly. My life has been prett y hec tic for the past couple of months, and it's going to get less busy soon, so I think I'll be able to get more on track then. But I want to be specific about what I wan t to do. So I've decided to make a list of my top 5 blogging goal s right now. I'm posting them here because it's my way of holding mys elf accountab le and actually going through with them. I want to at least have ma de signi ficant progress on all of these by the end of June. ( I also have things I want to do with how my blog looks , but I have no ide a how long those will take , so I didn't put them here.) 1. Always have at least one scheduled post. I am embarrassingly bad at this. I'll sometimes fin...

My Accidental Hiatus

I haven't posted anything on this blog (or replied to comments, or read posts on other blogs - you get the picture) since the end of February. It's only been 11 days, but it seriously feels like SO MUCH LONGER. There are two main reasons for this: I had a bit of a family emergency, which involved me being away from home for a while and my mom taking my laptop to the other side of the country so that she could work. Things are fine now, but everything else got pushed aside for a while. I still have not mastered the art of scheduling posts. These were definitely not ideal circumstances, but I'm kind of glad that I stepped away for a while. Things were starting to feel a bit frantic (see above: me not planning ahead enough to schedule posts), and I needed to take a step back for a while. I have plans for this blog for the next few weeks, but it will probably take a while for me to get completely caught up. In the meantime, though, I'm very happy to be back, and I ho...

Launching December 31!

A while ago, I decided that I wanted to create a book blog. (Actually, I originally thought about creating a Booktube channel, but my incompetence with camera equipment quickly ruled that out, and I like writing more than talking anyway). Somehow, that turned into a pact with a friend (to be found at thepagesarebookining ) to create joint blogs that we update at least once a week starting in 2016. Here, you'll find monthly wrap-ups, monthly-ish TBRs, book reviews, recommendation lists, monthly (hopefully) posts about whichever book I'm reading with my friend, and, frankly, any book-related content that I feel like posting. It'll all start at the end of this year with a list of my favorite books that I read in 2015, and at New Year's, I'll be going full steam ahead!
