Day 2 of Bloggiesta, being hosted by Suey at It’s All About Books and Danielle at There’s a Book, has come to a close for me – I’ve been sitting at my computer all day and am starting to go cross-eyed, plus I have only about 50 pages left of the book I’m reading (Guilty Wives by James Patterson) and I really want to finish it!
I got a lot done today and am looking forward to another productive day tomorrow, where I plan to spend a chuck of time working on my Review Archive page – just need to decide on what format to use.

The mini-challenges have helped me get quite a bit accomplished! You are doing great too.
Thanks…it's amazing how you can spend so much time working on the blog and still have so much to do!
You accomplished quite a bit today! I have several review formats that I am using. I just can't narrow it down to one!
How is Guilty Wives, BTW? I'm on the wait list for it at my library.
I'm not sure I am going to stay with my current format – all I did was add some things to it…we'll have to see.
Guilty Wives was ok…it's definitely not my favorite of his, but it did pick up towards the end.
Congratulations on getting so much done this Bloggiesta!
Thanks…I still have so much more to do – as I was visiting everyone else, I kept finding more to do. But I am happy with what I've gotten done so far.
I love bloggiesta. It's such a fun way to get some needed work done. The cheering and meeting new people and exploring new blogs and all working on similar goals! Glad you are getting so much done.
Yes, it certainly is a fun way to get things done on the blog and to see what everyone else is working on.
