~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really can't believe what a month it has been so far, and we still have almost 2 more weeks! At this rate I will be able to finish all my challenges and read a few extras that catch my eye throughout the year.

I am also very happy and proud to say I still haven't purchased any books yet this year! I was sorely tempted while on amazon the other day getting a few crafty items for Munchkin and again over the weekend when at Target picking up a few things (I really wanted to pick up a Valentine's book for Munchkin but I resisted).  I am hoping to hold off until February, at least then I will have enough points to go on a little shopping spree!


I know it was Mini Bloggiesta this last weekend and I would have liked to participate (I have a huge to do list on this blog) but I ended up spending the weekend potty training Munchkin instead. Anyway, you really don't want to hear about that adventure.   But I do have a few things on my mind for the full blown Bloggiesta.  First and foremost is the Archives.  I managed to get it all updated and organized last spring but since then I have read nearly 400 books! I am beginning to questions whether it is worth it to have all the reviews linked on the archive page or if I should just like to my Goodreads reviews (all my links go to the reviews there anyway).  The other thing is I am not thrilled with the layout of the blog, the few times I have gone on from the front I have found it not very user friendly.  So I am wondering if I should go back to my original layout or if I should pay someone to create one for me (I need to research what this would entail and what the cost estimate would be).


So you see, I have a lot on my mind and a lot of reading going on! How was your week?
