Bloggiesta Starting Line


So I wasn't planning on doing Bloggiesta, but after thinking about it for a bit there is so much more I would love to do with my blog that sadly I just haven't done so I decided to devote this weekend to A) Finish The Host by Stephenie Meyer and B) Bloggiesta. I feel like I have been nelegecting my blog with book reviews since The Host has been taking me so long to read. I have really enjoyed it.

Goals
  • Make Review Archive. I orginally thought that people could just look at my books read tab to see all my book reviews, but the problem with that is that there is no organization. It is just the books I have read in chronological order. Say somebody wanted to see all my reviews of Jodi Picoult books they would have to know when I read my last Jodi Picoult book and I really want them to just be able to go somewhere and find it.
  • Make Features Page. I do so many features and if I don't put the links somewhere they are just going to get lost in my blog so I want to make a features page that I update regularly. ( I made it in an excel document and copy and pasted it to the blog). 
  • Draft TTT for next week. I have skipped the past two weeks because I didn't like the topics, but next weeks topic looks pretty cool. (What a relieve to have three weeks done these posts take a lot of time to put together).
  • Draft Discussion Post. I would like to do one about not following your TBR (To Be Read), Libraries VS Buying/Borrowing Books, BlogLovin, Favorite Posts to write, and any more that I come up with. 
  • Find More Read-A-Thons to sign up for. If you have been around my blog for a while you would know I love Read-A-Thons and have done at least one every month this year. 
  • Participate in Minichallenges. Some look really cool. We will see. 

Okay well I think that is enough for me. I think it is a pretty hefty list so I will see what I complete.


Wish me Luck

  1. Rachel, looking forward to seeing your Features Page, as I'd love to see how you organise your features.

    I'd also like to see the Read-a-thons you find as I love participating in read-a-thons too eventhough I never do as good as I hope LOL

    I really wish that I could draft memes like Feature & Follow Friday but they never have their questions up beforehand :(
