What I’ve been up to this week:
Same old, same old. Trying to juggle my time evenly between everything I want and have to do. On the bright side, I finally cleared my closet out so I can start painting and get the laminate put down…and FINALLY move my books in! Yay!! I miss them :(
What’s in your mailbox, loverlies? Link me up!
Well sometimes those dry weeks are good for the TBR pile! Hopefully you have a good reading week and knock out some of the TBR pile books! Happy Reading!
Here’s my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Thanks for all the LitRate love! ♥
Congrats on clearing out the closet! THE BOOKS SHALL HAVE A HOME!!
Any time!! And YESSS. I can’t wait XD
Yay! The best part of a new place is getting the books all settled into their new home :) thanks for all those links, in had missed a couple. I’m so excited for LitRate but also really nervous that we’re going to get close and not quite make it :( I saw that Ashley added a new pledge reward for publishers which I thought was great, but I don’t know any publishers to contact. I wonder if there’s some sort of email campaign we could do or something to get a few publishers on board. I think even two or three would make a world of difference.
Anywho – have a great week!
Yeah, I can’t wait :D
Same here. I want it to happen SO bad! We WILL make it, we will! That’s a great idea. I’m not really sure how to go about doing it though…
You too Berls!!
Love all those LitRate posts! It feels like the campaign is taking the blogging world by storm…yet not reaching their goal yet! crazy!
