Bloggiesta ended nearly a week ago now, but finally, here is my wrap-up post! I participated mostly on the Thursday. I’m happy with what I achieved, though I didn’t work on any reviews which is the point of this blog, so tomorrow I’m going to focus on scheduling a few. Here’s a recap of my to do list:

• Catch up on commenting
• Success! I commented on a number of posts I had saved for later reading, as well as more recent posts.
• Write and schedule posts currently in drafts
• No success… bumped to tomorrow’s to do!
• Cross post reviews to Goodreads
• No success…but really this is just a ‘someday’ item
• Finish writing ‘about me’
• Success! It’s still not phrased quite as nicely I would like it to be, but it’s got all the essential information I wanted to include.
• Brainstorm a monthly schedule and ideas for posts that are different from what I currently do
• Partial success! I have a pile of ideas…now to determine the best way to implement them, on a schedule I could realistically maintain. Figuring out my schedule may still take a bit of time, as I just moved to a new country in August and started my first full time job this month.
• Streamline social media links (add icons?)
• Success! I found some clean and simple icons in a colour to match my blog.
• Organize the sidebar (add a second one?)
• Success! I hope the sidebar is more useful now.
• Participate in a mini challenge or two, and check out other participants’ blogs to see what everyone is working on!
• Partial success! I didn’t participate in any mini challenges, but I did visit other blogs and explored old challenges to have a go at in the future. 

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my blog during this event and to those book bloggers who continue to inspire me!
