BBAW: Goals & Love


Today's Topic: Share your goals for your blog one year from now AND say what you love best about your blog, each in 50 words or less.


One year from now I hope to …
  • be able to make my own blogger template improvements,
  • be a more vocal spokesperson for book clubs,
  • have even more bloggers I can call my true friends, and
  • have my TBR list down to a reasonable level!

I love that my blog …
  • brings me new friends I really connect with,
  • helps me encourage Kiddo to read and think about books,
  • has introduced me to books I’d never have found on my own, and
  • let’s me know that I’m not the only person like me out there!

  2. Some great goals, although I don't know how to even think about getting the TBR pile down. Every time I get one read, another book gets put on it.

  3. Congratulations on your award and don't fret about learning how to alter your template. I'm not techie and out of necessity and want, I've learned to do a lot. Color Online is a basic Blogger template my guy and I embellished. You really don't have to reinvent the wheel, just envision it differently. After that, take a few breaths, exercise a little patience (queen impatient here) and you'll create what you want.

  4. Beth F, Lezlie, Katie - Hey, no one said they had to be REALISTIC goals! ~LOL~

    Color Online - Thanks for the encouragement! I figured out how to do the 3-column layout with help from other bloggers, so I know it can be done. I must say that I'm impressed with your blog's design, especially since you say it is just a modification of a blogger template - great job!

  10. You have some good goals there. I'd love to get my TBR list under control, but that just won't happen.

    Also, good luck with your reread through of the WoT books. I'm currently on the 7th book. And even though I haven't gotten near the 12th book yet, anxiously awaiting it's release!

  11. It's good to be optimistic about that TBR pile. ;-)

  12. I think the only way to reduce that TBR pile will be to shut yourself in a closet with a nightlight, a pile of books and no computer!
