Fiesta, Bloggiesta!

 I am taking part Bloggiesta! hosted on Maw Books Blog .





After reading posts from several different bloggers who signed up I realized this is something well worth doing. And, let's face it, Pedro's kinda cute. Of course, now that I am in, I am pumped, ready to read, blog, grow, learn!

Here's the list, off the top of my head. Needs some organizing, but but I can work on that as I go!

-while taking part in this....watch, learn, study--there are so many bloggers out there to learn from!-take notes

-Blog Reading -re-organize google reader, fix up the subscriptions and followings (I am doing both so getting feeds for one post twice)

-Oh MG/YA Canada-post reviews, contact writers with the schedule for interviews and giveaways

-Giveaways-create a giveaway page

-Comment Challenge-finish going through the list of participants

-Reading Challenges! Post the books I've read, think I might withdraw from one?

-Figure out what to do with Three Writing Reads and a Giveaway. I was going to stop doing it once I really got going on my Oh MG/YA Canada! But, I am kind of enjoying doing it.

-Grimm Blogger? start brainstorming, thinking about where to go with this--keep it simple to start.

-carry on finding Debut Canadian Authors to add to The Story Siren's Canadian list

-post my Debut Reads so far!

-work on my book talks for blog. Rather than reviews for my reading challenges, I want to share the book talks I would use with customers (when I'm a the bookstore) and patrons (when I'm at the library or doing my book club).

That's it, there may be more as I go along!

  1. Wow! Ok,when do you get to write your own stuff?
    If you are looking for something to read?....
    I just posted ten first line/paragraphs at Pen and Ink. The last five are from First time Authors nominated in the Mid Grade Chapter Book category of the Cybils. Not sure which, if any are Canadian. Please check it out and tell me which of these writers would you like to follow on their journey.

  2. LOL, on the find my own time. While I am getting this up and going, my writing is on particular days (usually Wednesdays, all day) and in the night.

    Read the first lines--actually like them all :) And especially School of Fear and Feed--just got Fat Vampire to read!

    Not sure on the Canadian either-want to get myself back up to speed enough that I could tell you which, if any!
