Going Unplugged

Post image for Going Unplugged

This is just a quick post to let you know that I’ll be unplugged for the next week or so. I’m moving this weekend, as I mentioned in my Sunday Salon post, and getting ready has been more work than I anticipated. I’ll also be without internet at home from Saturday until the middle of next week.

Registering for BBAW

Post image for Registering for BBAW

Book Blogger Appreciation Week is coming up from September 17 – 17, 2010. As part of the process of being part of the directory and being able to vote on awards, as well as being eligible for awards, bloggers need to register.

I’m just sneaking this in a day before the deadline, which is tomorrow (July 7). If you haven’t registered yet, you should do it — even if you don’t want to be nominated for an award, registering helps put your blog in a category and be part of choosing blogs in your peer group.

Post image for Bloggiesta: The Epic To-Do List

If this post goes up as scheduled, I’ll be in my car and on my way back to Minnesota for my brother’s high school graduation. This also means getting blogging projects done will be frustratingly unlikely because I’m not sure how much blogging time I’ll have the next couple of days. But, I have bloggy things to do and like to make lists of them. When I have the time, here’s what I hope to accomplish during the Bloggiesta.

Post image for My Belated Book Blogger Convention Post

I didn’t get to BEA until Thursday around 1:00, so I don’t have much to say about that other than that the expo is huge, I still got a few cool books and thank goodness Jill (Fizzy Thoughts) was around to help Care and I navigate!

My favorite BEA books were Packing for Mars by Mary Roach, Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself by David Lipsky, The Company Town by Hardy Green, and The Angel of Grozny by Asne Seiestad (thanks to Jill for snagging that one for me!).

Post image for Monday Tally: E-Readers and Book Bloggers

A long time ago I used to do a weekly link round-up called Monday Tally. I’m going to try to start that up again, using it as a space to highlight some of the best links I’ve read over the past week.

This week: e-readers, book bloggers, and some great books for my TBR list.

Post image for How to Be a Book Blogger and a Fabulous Grad Student

A few weeks ago I eavesdropped on a Twitter conversation between Nymeth (@Nymeth) and Aarti (@aartichapati) where both were concerned about how they’d fit blogging into their schedules after they start grad school in the fall.

I started my blog just after I graduated from college and immediately started grad school in the fall, so in the almost two years I’ve been blogging I’ve been a student pretty much the whole time. Here are a few tips about how to make it work.
