BBAW: Future Treasures

BBAW_2010_Image We’ve been visiting each other and getting to know each other better…now is your chance to share what you enjoyed about BBAW and also what your blogging goals are for the next year!





What I enjoyed about BBAW

I enjoyed participating this year! I gathered up my courage and nominated myself in the Best Eclectic Book Blog category and I even made the long list. That exceeded my expectations and it was exciting! I was also a judge this year. The best part of being a judge was discovering new-to-me book blogs. Just when you think you’ve seen them all, there’s more out there waiting to be found.



My blogging goals for the next year

More reading - There seems to be a shortage of hours in the day so reading time is not plentiful. But now that I’m a SAHM, I have been able to find some extra time. I have quite a few – oh, who am I kidding! I have LOTS – of books on my bookshelf that I’m anxious to read. Let me show you what I’m talking about:

Exhibit A – just 2 of my shelves that hold my TBR books

shelves (2)

Click on the picture for a bigger view. And let’s not forget that I have books TBR on my Kindle. There’s one more shelf right below, where you can barely make out the top of Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris. Right next to that book is Lover Mine by J.R. Ward. I’ve had both of those books since they were each released but haven’t been able to get to them. They’re feeling a little neglected.

More reviews – This goes along with the more reading part. More reading = more reviews.

Better reviews - I look back at my earlier reviews and I cringe. Also, I think I was too nice – not that I want to be mean but in the sense that I should have given a little more criticism where it was due. Looking back, there are some books that I gave a 4-frog rating that should have been a 3-frog rating. (And some 3-frog ratings that should have been a 2-frog rating.)

    Wow! That's a LOT of TBR books. And I thought I was overwhelmed with my stack which isn't even half of yours!! But I still have to add titles as the release weeks come!

    Happy Reading!
