Welcome to the 2021 Book Blog Discussion Challenge hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight! This challenge has been going on for six years now, and we’re excited to keep discussing books with you!

Looking for a List of 2021 Reading/Book Blogging Challenges? Look No Further!

Looking for a List of 2021 Reading/Book Blogging Challenges? Look No Further!

Last year I skipped creating my comprehensive list of all the book blogging and reading challenges, and I got lots of people messaging me to say that they missed it. So I decided to get back to it this year! This is a list of everything I’ve found so far, but I’ll be adding to it daily. Entries added within the last week will be marked with ***. Feel free to let me know in […]

My 2020 Goals & Challenges

My 2020 Goals & Challenges

I’ve decided to switch gears mostly away from reading challenges again in 2020 so I can really focus on my writing goals. I used the Bookish Resolution Challenge for writing goals in 2019, but since they’re just year-long goals, they didn’t really motivate me—especially when things started going wrong in my household and we hit those last few months of craziness. And the waiting game with submissions isn’t particularly motivating either. I’d love to be […]

2019 Challenge Wrap-Up

2019 Challenge Wrap-Up

I was planning to wrap up my 2019 challenges AND list my 2020 goals all in one post, but it ended up being an overwhelming behemoth of a post (that no one would actually read), so I decided to split things up after all. Watch for my 2020 goals, which will be posted on Monday.   A Wrap-Up of My 2019 Reading/Blogging Challenges: Progress: 24/21-30 Discussions (Chatty Kathy) Even though I only posted one discussion […]

Mid-Year Library Love Check-In and “Bonus” Connect Five

Mid-Year Library Love Check-In and “Bonus” Connect Five

I’ve been posting updates on this challenge every month, but one thing I haven’t done that Angel did in her mid-year check-in is figure out how much money I’ve been saving by utilizing my library. I thought that was a fantastic idea, so I decided to go ahead and calculate my savings! I used $14.99 for all Audiobooks, since that’s what I would have been paying if I’d used my Audible subscription for them. For everything else, […]

The 2019 Book Counting Challenge (and Sad News about the Discussion Challenge)

The 2019 Book Counting Challenge (and Sad News about the Discussion Challenge)

Unfortunately, Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight and I are no longer speaking for various reasons. I don’t want to get into the nitty gritty details, but it started because I still haven’t read The Serpent King and Shannon was pretty angry about it. I’ve been promising her for years that I would read that book, so I can’t exactly blame her. But then the emails started getting weird and spiraling out of control … again, […]

January 2019 Wrap-Up & Best of the Bunch

January 2019 Wrap-Up & Best of the Bunch

  My Goings On in January: I’ve been plotting my new MG novel, and I started to do a bit of writing as well. (It’s verse, so I don’t have to necessarily write it in order). My middle daughter finished gymnastics and started indoor track. (So, a new sport to watch.) My hubby and I went to see comedian John Felts at our church for a date night.  🙂 We had record cold temps around […]
