Since it’s now mid-afternoon where I am, and with the possibility of one or two more things to go up on the blog later ~~ I think it is safe to call this month of March a Wrap.

This month has been so full and such fun.  Bloggiesta,  Take Control of your TBR Pile, starting on Twitter, setting up a KB Facebook page, so many reviews and memes.  Getting amazing comments, upping my own commenting a lot was one of my goals or ongoing goals I should say.  Setting aside a certain amount of time each day has helped me achieve that one.

Scheduling has become more important than ever.   (running 3 book blogs has made that so very clear)  And yes, I probably am just a touch crazy.

Next month Keeper Bookshelf will start taking part in some Cover Reveals and Launch Blitz Promotions… not too many, but time to get the feet wet and start.

I am very happy with myself for sticking with my renewed love and work on this blog.  I love this community and I enjoy each and every day that I sit down to work on one of the loves of my life… books.

I did manage to get a lot of my TBR pile read – and no, I didn’t keep close count like I should have but honestly I wasn’t looking for a reward, it was a goal that I wanted so taking part in the Take Control of your TBR Pile was great motivation for setting aside a month devoted to that.

So, next up… on to April.  Already full of scheduled reviews, I know there will be spur of the moment reads and reviews – I cannot seen to be able to log into NetGalley without checking out the new novels.  *rolls eyes and laughs*  I’m such a sucker for a new book.  I don’t know yet how much more than this month I’ll accomplish but I do know one thing — at the base is enjoyment of the novels I read and review, the fun of the blogs I visit each day and the sense of being part of a community that is so diverse yet united in one thing — our mutual love of the written word.

Here’s to an amazing April.  🙂

This was the first year that I took part in the Bloggiesta Spring Clean Up – and I had a blast, learned a lot, found a ton of new blogs to follow and simply enjoyed myself.

I finished all but one item on my To-Do List.  And that I’ll get to in the coming weeks.

I will definitely be looking forward to the next event in June.

Just follow either the written link or click on the graphic and go check out the upcoming schedule for yourself.  The folks behind the names on “Mr. Linky” are amazing, so willing to offer tips and solutions — please, check this out in June and join in.  You will be amazed at how much fun you’ll have while learning neat blogging / website stuff.

Thank you to everyone involved with Bloggiesta – this was an awesome experience.

Today has been weird.  Not to bore anyone with non-book blogging stuff – but it’s just been a weepy, world crashing in kinda day.  You ever get those?  I hate them – but have learned to just get through them.

So instead of the million things I “should” be doing on my blogs – I’m going to go play World of Warcraft and crush things for a couple hours.  Get my mind off of everything family and book related.  My non-book version of running away from home for awhile.

The stuff that needs done – for once can wait 24 hours.  It’s the first time I tossed in the towel since restarting this in January.  I need a day off.

No, seriously, I’d really like to know.

While I’ve been blogging for several years, I’ve really only concentrated on reviews.  I’d like to take the next step and get involved in a Release Blitz or Book Tours or even just a Cover Reveal to start.

And I’m not ashamed to say that I’m still learning about these parts of book blogging.  But, I am starting to get offers and I really don’t want to fall flat on my face.  So, I’m asking anyone who wanders by my blog this simple question.  How have these things helped your book blogging?    And should you feel like giving some tips or additional information… I’m all ears.  🙂
