March | Social Media & Review Outlets

Yikes, I almost completely forgot about this but it's still early(ish) in March so that's good.


Here is the update on my February goals:

1. Update my social media icons. Done!
2. Revamp ALL of my blog pages. I'm gonna cross it out because I did most of them. Hey, that counts.
3. Change the font on the links under my header. Done!
4. Make a list of books I've reviewed, complete with links. Nope, I didn't even touch this. Oops.

All in all though I'd say I did pretty well. ;)

And now I get to move on to a new topic! The March topic is Social Media and Review Outlets.



Read all about the topic in depth here. You can also read my January and February posts if you want. Basically this month is all about those social media websites that you haven't been keeping updated or that huge mess that is your Goodreads shelves. It's time to figure it out. *snaps fingers*

my goals:

1. Update social media accounts (Twitter): who I follow, bio, etc.
2. Organize Goodreads: shelves, bio, delete duplicates, go through TBR list
3. Turn reviews in to NetGalley (and update bio)
4. Keep track of blogging stats

Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep motivated to read and review books from either publishers or NetGalley?

    My ways to get motivated to turn in ARCs is to go on a book downloading/buying/borrowing ban. Also, seeing your approval to review percentage go up on Netgalley is always a nice little motivator! I like to set goals for myself on what number I want to get; right now I'm at a 70% goal. Congrats on getting so much of your February goals done! :)

    I nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award; it's totally fine if you aren't able to do it, just letting you know. :) http://myfullbookshelfreviews.blogspot.com/2015/03/one-lovely-blog-award.html

      Those are some great tips :) I'm trying a reward-but-only-when-I've-read-and-reviewed-a-book. We'll see how it works *le sigh* Hey congrats to you too! It sounds like you're doing awesomely.

      Thanks so much Gabs! <3 I should be able to do it.

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi...

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th...

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa...
