My 2019 Reading/Blogging Challenges

I love a good challenge. Well, really, I just like another reason for a list. So book challenges!

I'm going to do four challenges this year. This is my personal "sign up" page. If you'd like more info on any of the challenges click their link!

SIGN UP-- 2019 Blog All About It Challenge

Note: I accidentally deleted 6 months of the blog so this is a repost. All comments on the original posts were unfortunately lost. Sorry! 

Blog All About It turned out to be one of my favorite challenges of 2018. It was a nice way to stretch my blogger wings and get some fun posts up so I decided to do it again!

Basically there's a word each month and any time during the month you can blog about that word. In any way you want. Review, recipe, photos, stories, etc

SIGN UP-- 2019 Blogger Shame Challenge

Note: I accidentally deleted 6 months of the blog so this is a repost. All comments on the original posts were unfortunately lost. Sorry! 

Blogger Shame Challenge. Yes! This one has been such a good challenge for me over the last couple years. It's helped me tame my review pile and lighten the stress of all those review books that were so far past their review date.

Basically, this is a way to cheekily catch up on review request copies that have been languishing on your review pile for at least 6 months and are way past due to the author or publisher.

They can be print, audio or ebooks.

[Blog All About It] My Trees

This Month's Prompt
TREES! 

Ha! So when I was making up the prompts for the challenge I thought Fall! Trees! It would be beautiful! And then Fall was like eeeehhh I'm maybe not ready yet. Heh

But I thought I'd share my tree. We've known each other for almost 16 years. He's not the strongest of trees. But I just couldn't say...tear him out. So me and my tree we go through the years together.

So a year of my wee dogwood...

Blog Ahead Begins!! [My Goals]

We're doing a mini Blog Ahead challenge the next two weeks. The goal being to get a jump on blog posts and get 14 addition posts scheduled before the end of the event.

So I'm starting with 29 posts.

It's that time of year again! Blog Ahead is here! Almost. In October. lol

Write On Review-a-Thon 7/26-7/27

The Write On review-a-thon is a monthly event created and hosted by Brianna at The Book Vixen. It’s 2 days dedicated to getting reviews done, whether you have one review to write or 30+. This edition of the review-a-thon takes place July26th and July 27th. Let’s get those reviews done!

I participated in this last month and got SO many reviews done it was ridiculous. I was able to finish up 11 reviews in the two days it happened and then carried on a bit after and wrapped up another 9 in a handful of days. Not bad!

I'm a touch behind again. I'm not starting my reviews from scratch--yeah I'm cheating a bit lol--but finishing up reviews that are drafted. I have 17 currently between ones for review and just for fun that I'd like to get done soon. Most aren't "due" for a spell but would be nice to have them pre-scheduled and ready to go!

Write On Review-a-Thon 6/27- 6/28

The Write On review-a-thon is a monthly event created and hosted by Brianna at The Book Vixen. It’s 2 days dedicated to getting reviews done, whether you have one review to write or 30+. This edition of the review-a-thon takes place all day Friday, June 27th and Saturday, June 28th. Let’s get those reviews done!

Oh I am totally joining in on this one! I've been working hard this past 7 months to clean up my drafted reviews. It got SO bad. I'd rough draft then forget em. Got up to 110 drafted reviews. *flails*

Then last Nov I did a bloggy version of NaNoWriMo with a goal of 60 scheduled posts by the end of the month. And it got me motivated. I've gotten my drafts down to just...25! And some of those are new ones that aren't up for review posting quite yet. Not. Bad!

Any who. Hoping this will get me over my blogger girl block and get some of these marked off my list. So as of today these are the reviews still waiting. Most have some type of review written up. They just aren't postable at all yet. Hopefully that's okay :)

So for this Write On Review-a-thon I'm going to work on these books...
