Blog Updates and Question for you all!

Hello Everyone from me and my little Red Headed Book Child (pre-cast picture!) He has that look that means he has something to say. It's almost as if he is about to clear his throat.

I found it to be appropriate for this post.

I've been blogging now for a few months since late July. I had no idea what to expect or really what to do. In these few short months I have learned a lot, mostly about what an enormous community of book lovers there is out there in the blogosphere. I was and am still amazed at this. You all are truly awesome and I love to read you every day.

I have been at times content and also overwhelmed with having a blog. Now that I have viewed many and follow many, I sometimes feel I should do more and then right away I feel I should not. With the host of memes, contests, awards, events, challenges, I don't want to jump on every bandwagon but I also don't want to miss out on something exciting. My main goal and motivation will always be to review the books I am reading. That is why I started this adventure. It is also very important to me to have a credible blog, one that is respected and read with interest and not because I am giving away something. I am extremely enthusiastic about reading and I hope it comes across in my reviews.

So the point of this post is to outline a few weekly events hosted by other bloggers that I enjoy and what else to expect from my blog.

Teaser Tuesdays

Waiting on Wednesdays

Throwback Thursday

*I like these three events because they highlight what I am currently reading, what I want to read and what I have enjoyed in the past. In my opinion, it covers all of the bases.

I have done both In My Mailbox and Mailbox Mondays, before I realized I wasn't officially signed up anywhere to do so (Mr. Linky and I just don't see eye to eye), so I am going to do my own thing. I shall call it...Week in Review. This will tell everyone all of the fabulous books that have come my way during the week. This will most likely happen on Fridays.

I do not get a lot of time to blog on the weekends. This is heavy family time and I also work out of the house. During the week I really utilize nap time and independent play time for babe as my blog time.

One more thing I would like to do is not only focus on individual books but focus on individual authors that I love. Some time in the near future I will be starting

Author Love-a-thons. I have so many favorites that I would like to bring attention to those that I feel I deserve it.

My main focus will always be My Book Reviews. I will do these as often as I finish a book. I have to write the review right away after I finish a book or else I forget everything. Old age.!

Last, I love Challenges! I think I have my full now until the end of the year but I will keep seeking them out to see what's out there. As for contests and giveaways and blog tours, they will pop up when I have some extra time and some extra monies!

If you all don't mind responding, I would love if you all could answer one question for me.

What do you like best about my blog?

I've never really thrown that out there and believe me my knees are knockin in nervousness much like they were in 7th grade before my birthday party praying someone would show up. :)

Thanks so much for reading!
