Category: Sunday Wrap-Up

It’s been a good week for me. I managed to get a lot done on my blog. I was able to clean up some of my pages that needed cleaning desperately. I also finally activated a new blog format. I had been wanting to do that for quite some time, but was just nervous about taking the plunge and making the change. I personally find this new format to be a lot cleaner and nicer. I hope my readers enjoy it as much as I do. Anyways, here’s what went on here at the blog, in case you missed it:

I posted two reviews:

• Cross Country by James Patterson
• Alex Cross’s Trial by James Patterson

And I participated in two memes this week:

• WWW Wednesdays
• Friday Fill-Ins

So I just realized as I was looking back at my format for last week’s Sunday Wrap-Up, that I actually titled it with the wrong year! Oops! I’m still writing 2010 on most everything (checks, blog posts, EVERYTHING!) and I probably will continue to do so until at least March. So if you see any other incorrect years, please ignore them 🙂

This past week I was in Las Vegas for the World of Concrete convention. (And a little gambling and good eating, too!) So my participation on this blog was a little lacking. I only scheduled one post:

• Here’s What My Mailbox looked like last week.

And I had one review:

• Where Are the Children? by Mary Higgins Clark

Oh and I have one more tidbit to add. Two years ago today, my “baby” was welcomed into this world. That was the week that western Kentucky was hit really hard by an ice storm. He was the runt of the litter and the breeder almost lost him due to power outages and not really being able to get him the proper veterinarian care due to the weather. Needless to say, I’m very glad that he pulled through, because he makes us smile EVERY day! (Even when he’s being as obnoxious as he possibly can). The past two years have been a big experience for my husband and I. We had pets growing up, but neither one of us ever had a pet that was completely our responsibility. So I would like to wish my Buster a happy second birthday!

Here’s my weekly wrap-up:

I participated in three memes:

1. I welcomed one book in my mailbox this week
2. I talked about my blogging/reading resolutions
3. I talked about my reading in WWW Wednesdays

I posted one review:

• Judas Kiss by J.T. Ellison

I’ve really been using the schedule feature lately. Which is a good thing, because I will be going out of town this week. So if you don’t see as much of me you know why.

I’m going to be starting something new here on my blog. I’ve seen some other people do things like this and I think it’s a great idea. I want to start wrapping up what I’ve done here on my blog on a weekly basis. Here goes:

I participated in three memes this week:

1. I talked about how I did with my 2010 reading goals in my Musing Mondays post
2. I listed my Top 10 MUST READ books for 2011 in Top Ten Tuesdays
3. And I participated in WWW Wednesdays

I also reviewed one book this week:

1. Double Cross by James Patterson

I started a new page here on my blog:

1. Books Acquired in 2011

Overall, I did pretty good here on my blog this week. I am trying to make a conscious effort to post more and participate more in 2011 than I have in my previous years as a book blogger. It’s hard to believe that I’m going into my 3rd year of blogging this year! Crazy! I’m definitely looking forward to making 2011 a wonderful year as far as my blog is concerned.

I cleaned up my blog a little bit last weekend – trying to get my 2010 things into more permanent locations and get my 2011 goals/challenges zeroed out to start all over again. I spend way too much time on the internet, and yet, not enough time on my blog! I hope to be able really get this blog into tip-top shape. You might be seeing some layout changes in the coming months, as I’m itching for something new (and yet dragging my feet because of the time it will take, and the insecurities I have with changing anything too much). Hope everyone has another great week this week!
