I exceeded my goal of 60 books in 2017 so for 2018
I am aiming for 80: New Release Veteran
BLOGGER SHAME
Blogger Shame Challenge, which runs for the entire year is hosted by Anna @Herding Cats and Burning Soup
I did not do so well on this challenge in 2017. However, I have decided to try it again.
If you’ve been blogging a while you have it…
A Blogger Shame pile.
All those review books that somehow slipped through the cracks and just didn’t get reviewed when they should have.
This is just a fun way of making it right and getting those old review copies reviewed.
Details
Review books must be at least 4 months past due to count!
You can create a specific list of titles to tackle or just a generic number of titles to complete (ex I’ll finish 12 reviews)
Any format you accept the review copy counts.
I am aiming for 30 books.
A tad bit ambitious, but I am still going to try. Wish me luck.

Author Love
Welcome to the Author Love Challenge 2018. This is, by far, our most low-key challenge. We started it late last year and even though I don’t think either Michelle or I made our goal, I know I came a lot closer to finishing off my author and for that I’m thrilled! We hope you’ll join us in giving that special author some love!
The Rules
Pick an author that you love and wish you’d read more of their books.
Set a goal to read x number of books by that author by the end of the year. You can make your goal to read all their books. You can read at least five books from the author’s list.
Announce your participation, author, and goal in a blog post, goodreads post, FB post.

Created by Herding Cats & Burning Soup
A blogging prompt challenge. Each month a new prompt to interpret as you like.
Example:
If the prompt is BLUE you could…
–make a blueberry cobbler
–review a book with a blue cover
–interview an author who’s name has blue in it
–discuss how you break out of a ‘blue’ mood
–share blue photos you’ve taken
It’s incredibly flexible but also a good way to spread your blogger wings.
I think it’ll be fun to see how differently people decide to blog about the exact same prompt.
