Books I plan on reading this week:
   Since the Mystery Challenge is this upcoming weekend, I plan to read the Bookman's Last Fling and Protector.

I participated in the Bloggiesta. My time was limited, but I got some things done. Below is the list of things I had planned to do along with my comments.

• Write reviews. I got three written.
• Conduct and edit author interviews. I have someone in mind to interview. I haven't had time to come up with good questions or the courage to ask for the interview yet.
• Create template posts for my future reads. I revised the templates I had to make my process easier.
• Create a text file (or Google Doc) of cheat sheets (html codes, post url’s, etc) Did it!
• Improve my blog template, clean up sidebars, and install some plugins. Did it!
• Add or edit my about me page, review policy, disclosure policy, privacy policy, and landing pages
• Clean up and update my challenge lists. Did it!
• Visit the Blogging Tips group on the Book Blogs Ning and find ways to improve my blog. Didn't get around to this one.
• Clean out and organize my feed reader and blog subscriptions. Did it!
• Find a blogging buddy. Need to get my courage to ask someone about this.

I also participated in 6 mini-challenges. I think I got in a total of 10 hours.

Addendum: When I originally posted this, I thought that the bloggiesta was over. When I later realized that I had more time,  I put in another couple of hours on my craft blog cleaning up my sidebar, choosing a new background, and changing font colors. So my new total is 12.5 hours.
