Hia you guys! Yay bloggiesta has finally arrived, I’ve been getting this post ready all month.
Bloggiesta is an event held over this weekend where bloggers get together to work on their blogs. If you would like to join up, or visit other blogs joining in then have a look at the starting point post over at There’s a Book.
I really enjoyed the last bloggiesta (my first) and have plenty I need doing for this one!
Anyone who is visiting for the first time. Hello. I’m Lucy. Feel free to look around my blog. I mainly post contemporary reviews but I review a children’s picture book once a week (I’m a nursery nurse, so it seem appropriate) and I post on musings about books and reading too. Leave me a comment and I will give you a visit.
So, without further ado, and in no particular order here is….
The List
Cross-post reviews to Amazon- Make a banner/ sort out getting one made (if anyone can recommend someone who can do this for me that would be awesome. I’ve contacted a couple of people who never got back to me 😦 and have one to look into)
Update masterlistsSort out google readerSort out blogroll- Write outstanding reviews – Going Out
- Write future Children’s Hour posts
Look at Top 10 Tuesday topics, possibly write postsUpdate review policyUpdate Children’s Hour Page- Create new introduction for Children’s Hour
Add links to other reviews on reviewsSort out Twitter list(possibly create groups)Visit some other blogsTake part in some mini-challenges(Have completed Smash Attack Read’s Grade Yourself Mini-Challenge)Update Goodreads reviewsTake part in a twitter party/some twitter parties.Reply to outstanding commentsRespond to author/publicist e-mails.Back-up blogWrite a custom message for e-mail subscribers
I’m going to be crossing things off as I go along, and possibly adding stuff too.
Good luck, Lucy! Looks like a very useful list of items. Hope you get a lot done this weekend.

Great list! I hope you find someone to make you a banner. I’ve started do some graphics for myself as I couldn’t find anyone. I’m hosting a mini-challenge and it has to do with review policies, if you want to check it out.

I found making a banner wasn’t too hard if I just used some online pic editing software. Good luck finding someone – otherwise just google “picture editing free” and there are loads of free utilities you can use.

I did have a beautiful one but I took it down during the last bloggiesta because I was worried about copyright issues. My current one I edited myself using photobucket, but, well, I don’t really like it

Hi Lucy! I’m also doing Bloggiesta. This is my first time doing it and I’m not sure if I’m doing it right, lol. Since you review and look at childrens books, have you seen “The Adventures of KatGirl!”? http://nadiajwriter.com/katherine-magnoli-author/
