Bloggiesta 2014: Wrap Up

 

 Another Bloggiesta done! 

I have to pat myself on the back for this one.  I have to say I rocked it!  No really I did!!

Here is the low down.

Mini-Challenges I Worked On

1.  Amanda Shofner: How to Tackle Google+ (@amshofner)

This is still a work in progress because I have two accounts that I am trying to merge into one.

2.  Rebecca from Love at First Book: Twitter List Tutorial (@RebeccaScags)

I made a Twitter list called Book Events.  And that is where BEA and RTConvention will go.

3.  Stacy from The Novel Life: Conferences and Blogging Classes (@thenovellife)

I did my list of events for the state of California. 

Bloggiesta Spring 2014: My Progress (Day 3)

Posting this late but this is from Saturday.
Here is the latest and the greatest as of today.  I think I am procrastinating on clean-up my Feedly because it will take forever.  And I am not looking forward to it at all.  I have found out that my Disqus is not working 100% and I am reading up on how to fix it. 

Did you know if a person in Australia leaves a comment it will show up in an new URL with .au at the end of your blog URL?  I had no idea.  So all my international comments have to merge into the .com site.  ARGH!!  Really?

Sunday Delight: Getting Stuff Done

Today wraps up the last day of a perfect blogging event.  BLOGGIESTA!  I love this event because I get things done that I put off.  The yuckky things!  Like updates, back ups and general blog clean up.  I completed almost every thing on my list.  YEAH! ME!!   Getting stuff done!  I figured out (kinda) Google Plus.  Still trying to:

1.  Figure out why I need it

2.  How to merge two accounts.

Here and Now

Time: 4:18 pm (Saturday)
Drinking: Water and hot cup of green tea.
Eating: Garlic and Herb Laughing Cow Cheese with pita crackers (yummy)
Listening To: Jill Scott radio on Pandora
Watching: Going to the movies tonight. I have no plans on seeing anything in particular.  Just wanna go.  I'll tell you later what I saw.

What I Am Listening To...

Bloggiesta Spring 2014: My Progress (Day 2)

Yesterday I did really good and slacked today.  But there was a few things I did get done.  I checked out a few of the mini challenges and completed the ones that I really need to work on.  Tomorrow I think I will finish my to do list. Then that will leave Sunday for visiting other bloggers.

Thoughtful Thursday: The DNF List

Hosted by Reading Is Fun Again

Pam over at Reading Is Fun Again started this meme to get a book blogger thoughts on a few bookish things. You know how much I love sharing my thoughts/opinions on stuff, so I thought it would be perfect to add my two cents in too! And stop by Pam's blog to see her new and cute blog design.

I created Thoughtful Thursday, because bookish thoughts kept popping up in my mind while reading, and I wanted to explore these questions and get your opinions too! -From Reading Is Fun Again

Thoughtful Thursday Question

Do you DNF (do not finish) books? Do you call it that or do you call it something else? Do you tell people when you DNF a book or do you act like you never read it at all? How have your DNF habits changed over the years?

I Want to Know...About You

Today, I was thinking about you.  Yes!  You!  The readers that stop by My Little Pocketbooks.  The ones that keep coming back and those that stop by once in awhile, I was thinking about you today.  I am always blogging about me and talking about my reading habits, my likes and dislikes.  I know that can't be to exciting for you.  LOL!  So today I want to take a moment to get to know you.  I think I might do this more than once maybe monthly.   

Here is how this is going to work.  Below I will post ten questions for you to answer.  You can answer them in the comment section below or post the answers on your blog.  If you do that just come back here and leave a link in the comment section so I can stop by and read your answers.  This is not a hop or meme, just something that ran across my mind at 8 am on Monday morning in the office after my first cup of tea.  

Ready! It will be easy, I promise and hopefully fun!
