THURSDAY POTPOURRI: HOUSEKEEPING — BLOGS, BOOKS, ETC. — MARCH 29

Today I’m getting ready.  Starting tomorrow and through April 1, Bloggiesta is coming, and it’s a Blog Party that has all kinds of exciting events.  Suey’s All About Books blog is hosting, and a number of other bloggers will be partying with mini-challenges and prizes.

Sheila’s Book Journey is one I’ve visited so far…although you can’t start participating until tomorrow.

I remember “meeting” Sheila right after her first Bloggiesta.  I thought:  hmm, what the heck is a Bloggiesta?  So I checked it out.

It would be another six months before I would participate, but I’ve hopped on the party wagon every time since.

It’s a great opportunity to “clean up” those blogs.  Now I have a lot of blogs, so I choose a different one each time.  This time, I’m spotlighting Curl up and Read, since it’s one of my most bookish sites.

My list is already started…and I’ll probably add more to it.  I’ve been noticing some outdated pages on my site, as well as some sidebar updating I need to do.

I’ve been doing some other housekeeping, too.

Since the weekend will be full of books, blogs, etc., I thought I’d better do some long overdue cleaning.

My TBR stacks have gone through an overhaul, too.  I moved all of my unread books from the bedroom shelf to the coffee table and bookcase top in my office.

Yes, the stacks are high—but they’re right where I can see them constantly—an incentive, perhaps?

Again…a constant reminder.

And here’s the former TBR shelf in my bedroom, which only has books I’ve already read.

 

As you can see, there is room for more “read” books.

What do you have planned for Bloggiesta?  Are you joining in…or do you have other bookish plans?

I also plan to finish reading my books from this week.

 

This one should be finished by tonight…if I can find some time.  Today is about cleaning, as I mentioned; plus, I have some errands.
