Question of the Week

Share something you’ve learned about book blogging or just blogging in general in the last month.

In the last month I have learned that I have to set alarms and calendar notifications for when I have to have books read by or blog tours set up by. I try really hard to stay organized! Without my schedule of which books to read next by I would be lost. I also set up my email folders this week to separate my review requests, ARC's, and blog tours. They do get lost sometimes and that sucks. Recently I have had so many requests, its crazy! So I am diligent about updating my calendar...I have three...don't judge me. 

I have also learned that sometimes life gets in the way of blogging. This is kind of off topic but, a family member of mine was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer last week and only given a few months to live. I have had to cancel blog tours and push back reviews because of it. Blogging however has been an amazing distraction. I honestly don't know what I would do with my spare time if I didn't have it. Especially lately. Everyone has been great regarding my life issues and its extremely appreciated. I still get posts up as quick as I can and a lot of them are done ahead of time and scheduled so that helps! **As a side note, sorry, I tend to over-share sometimes but, on my blog I feel like I can?**
