Bloggiesta Update 2


So today, I put in even MORE time. God, I'm tired. I feel like my list isn't as long as it was yesterday, but I think I am moving slower... Ugh to tiredness!

Start time: 7:30 am
End time: 1:30 am
Hours: 18 hours - 1 hour (shower, eating, breaks, etc) = 17 hours Today!

Total Hours: 33 hours!

Finished:

  • Updated Reading From My Shelf Project - which I had been neglecting until I had an actual contest going on.
  • Finished all of my Goodreads project. All books that I own and have read are marked Own-It, all books I own that I haven't read are marked TBR-own and here's the numbers: Own-It: 253 TBR-own: 392 That's 645 books that are mine... wow!
  • I still have to finish working on my bookshelves in the living room, but the two in the bedroom are done! (Pictures below)
  • Cleared out all my starred items except for 13 I wanted to keep for reference.. :) I started with over 350 so, quite the feat.
  • Made a Weekly Checklist for my blog in Google Docs.
  • Scheduled 2 Blogoversary Giveaway posts, 2 guest posts, 1 review post, 1 author interview post - so 6 posts total!
  • On top of that, I have 3.5 reviews handwritten and waiting to get typed up.
  • I also, went through my first 50 or so emails, replied to some review requests, authors and other people.
  • Also, I found time to get a pic of myself for Natasha's Mini-Challenge. :) You'll see it tomorrow (I mean today.. it is 1:30 am here.. seriously...).
  • Oh... and... I entered some contests - found a bunch of actual recent ones while going through Google Reader.

Tomorrow (aka today, after I sleep...), I will work on posts and I've added two new bullet points for tomorrow:

  • Write a contest policy
  • Write a privacy policy

  2. Wow, you have done SO much!!! I'm jealous of the space on the book shelves. I can only achieve that by buying a new book case (which I really need and want to do).

    Good luck with the rest of Bloggiesta.
