Follow Friday


Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee over at Parjunkee's View

Question of the Week: What are your new years book blogging resolutions?


I just did a post about this today but here they are:

1. REVIEWS: I receive quite a few review copies from publishers and authors but I have absolutely no organization with them. No order. I would like to create some sort of system that keeps me up to date and on time with all my review copies. The review pile isn't getting any smaller, if I don't figure out some sort of order now, I am going to be a frazzled mess!




2. INTERVIEWS: I love doing author interviews and having them for guest posts but there is a new thing that I am currently working on where The Crazy Bookworm will start interviewing other Book Bloggers, too! I am wanting to offer something new and fresh on my blog for the New Year and I am hoping that this appeals to all my readers.



3. COMMENTS: During Blog Hop and Follow Friday I do a lot of hopping and commenting but other than that I don't comment that often. I read tons of blogs and posts throughout the week but I don't always comment and I want to start getting in the habit of being more 'blog social'.



4. RELAX: Blogging can be a time consuming hobby but sometimes I allow myself to get to stressed over my blog. I just need to relax *Inhale, Exhale*. Blogging is supposed to be fun, and most the time it is, but sometimes it feels like...dare I say it?...A job! I'll stress about the littlest things, reviews, interviews, you name it! Or sometimes I'll be in a reading funk and I'll stress about not having anything to post for a while. I am hoping that in the New Year when I start stressing I'll take a deep breath, put my laptop away for a bit and relax.



5. READ MORE: It's a book blog right? I started this blog to record and share my thoughts on books. But it seems I am blogging more than I am reading. I am hoping to read and review at least 4 books a month...Doesn't sound to bad does it? *Fingers Crossed*

What are yours?


Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

  5. I have that problem where I spend to much time on my computer/blog/facebook/ and others sites, and don't read. (I mean i do in between when my computer feels like not working right) but other then that if I'm home I don't. (unless it's a relaxin bath then I do)

    have a good weekend!
