And it begins ... Spring #Bloggiesta + a mini challenge to celebrate #Bloggiesta's true spirit of helping out!


Bloggiesta is a blogging marathon revolving around ticking off those items on your to-do list and improving your blog while in the good company of other awesome bloggers doing the same thing.

Our awesome mascot Pedro (Plan. Edit. Develop. Review. Organize) is ready to break out the nachos, enchiladas, drinks, mariachi music and whack a pinata or two! It’s nothing short of an awesome fiesta!

It's Spring! And it's time for the big #Bloggiesta! Time to get inspired by fellow book bloggers cleaning up their blogs and their to-do lists... it's great to know we're never alone.

Usual stuff: My handy dandy Masterlist gets pulled up again. Since this is an entire week of Spring Cleaning, I'll be doing my usual usual plus plus ;)

  • Back up my blog and Read the Nobels
  • Get up-to-date with my reviews - I have one review I want out next week. If I get two done, I'll be more than happy!
  • Update my Book Map with old and recent reads. 
  • Clean up wonky posts. 
  • Read new Bloggiesta posts. 
  • Join mini-challenges that I think are fun and useful. - I've joined in Bookish Mastermind Groups and I'm excited to see how this works out.
  • Host a mini-challenge. Host a giveaway. - Check it out down below or JOIN IN HERE.
  • Check out the Twitter feed for #Bloggiesta and participate in at least one Twitter chat

Big Project: As my "big" task, I plan on focusing on getting my email subscriptions up to snuff. I have amassed a few articles about this and will be doing some more research about it. I have only close to 100 email subscribers (thank you ;)) and I really want to make my subscribers feel extra special.

Don't forget to check out the Mini Challenge: I Need/Can Help! + Giveaway!

I've signed up to host a mini challenge! My experience in the book blogging community has been tremendous - I find most are willing to give a helping hand when asked. Our community is a wonderful resource because of the range and diversity of experience and there is so much to tap into!

Ask for help, or dispense some advice.

  4. I was pleasantly surprised with the movie, if I'm honest. I usually hate movies based on books but the cinematography on this was just beautiful.

  15. I hope you are having fun! I am, and I feel really good about what I've accomplished...I do have some tasks, not on my list, that I'm feeling "guilty" about...like I've never backed up my blog, and some images are missing from posts from years ago because I deleted some from my Media files...not realizing. Yikes!

    Someday...
