Mini Bloggiesta is this weekend, and I have both days free. That hasn’t happened for the last few Bloggiestas, so it seems to be fated that I work on the blog this weekend – along with catching up on house and yard work (in case my husband is reading this); visiting with my parents (in case my mother is reading this), and reading!
The theme for the Mini Bloggiesta to-do lists is simplicity, so I’m keeping it short:
1. Update blogroll – DONE Sadly said good-bye to The Bibliotaphe Closet, Devourer of Books, The Oddiophile, and You’ve Gotta Read This (moved to Facebook), which are no longer active blogs.
Added I’m Lost in Books, which I didn’t realize wasn’t already there, and Thoughts from an Evil Overlord, which was a Mini Bloggiesta discovery.
Updated link to She Is Too Fond of Books, which has moved from WordPress to Blogger, and fixed up some links that didn’t open in a new window.
I enjoyed revisiting all of the blogs on my blogroll; here are a few of the interesting posts I caught up on:
The Boston Bibliophile: San Francisco Book Shopping
Chrisbookarama: Female Character Deal Breakers
Citizen Reader: Have you bought any fun reference books lately?
Literate Housewife: June Is Audiobook Month Giveaway
Stacked: How Do You Organize Your Books? (Take the poll!)
2. Organize list of books I’ve committed to review DONE
3. Get a week’s worth of posts scheduled
4. Back up the blog DONE
5. Do plug-in updates DONE
6. Join the Twitter chat on Sunday (3 p.m. EST) DONE Talked about favicons, copyright, image resizing, Pinterest, and was reminded by Becca of I’m Lost in Books mention of updating her “Books Read” list that I haven’t remembered to update my Reviews by Title and Reviews by Author pages in a while.
7. Visit other Bloggiesta participants’ blogs DONE
