2020 Library Love Challenge #LibraryLove

.

Welcome to the fourth annual Library Love Challenge hosted by Angel’s Guilty Pleasures & Books of My Heart.

Enter your monthly linkups for the giveaway HERE.

I hope you will join us in celebrating and support libraries.

I have some authors on my radar and will need to check them out from the library. To motivate myself to knock some of them off my reading list, I figure this challenge will do so. If it looks like something you would enjoy…come on…sign up.

I really haven’t set any specific goals, but I hope to read and review…at least…one library book a month.

The Silent Corner (Jane Hawk, #1)
The Whispering Room (Jane Hawk, #2)
The Crooked Staircase (Jane Hawk, #3)

Look For Me by Lisa Gardner (Read 8.4.20 – Reviewed 8.28.20)

You can see the rules for the October Blog Ahead Challenge at herding cats & burning soup

That time of year already? I am behind and updating the challenges I want to participate in, but this will help motivate me to get the rest of the year scheduled, except for tours and giveaways.

My Goal: I have 33 scheduled posts (from October 1 on) + 31 new posts = 64, minimum.

Woo Hoo! I started with 33 and ended with 68.

I surpassed my goal YAY!

And if it wouldn’t have been for a couple of spur of the moment road trips, I would have had more. Mr Wonderful is always surprising me, so I can’t plan for that. 🙂

Blog Ahead Challenges for March 2017

Posted on by

I really need more motivation, so these challenges are fantastic.

Why not join in?

 

 

Mini Blog Ahead #1: March 1st-15th

 

Dates: March 1- March 15

Goal: Schedule an additional 15 posts during the challenge.

On Day 1 of the challenge look at your number of scheduled posts. Add 15 to that. That is the number of scheduled posts you should have finished at the end of the challenge.


Any type of post counts! It just has to be a completed post.

The only stipulation is it must go live AFTER the challenge ends in order to count.

I got very behind at the end of last year and am still trying to ‘ketchup’.

I began this challenge with 4 Posts already scheduled.

My goal is a minimum of 19 posts.

I ended up with 33 post minus the 4 I originally had, so I was ahead 29 posts.

Yeah! Now to keep ahead.

~~~~~~
 
Mini Blog Ahead #2: June 15-30
 
Blog Ahead: October
.
I am really excited to participate. It really helped me last year and I just wish I would have kept up with it.

I am Participating in #BlogAhead2016

Posted on by

It’s time, once again, for Blog Ahead! Woohoo!
This challenge it’s all about getting ahead and giving yourself a blogging buffer.
It’s amazing how much having extra scheduled posts can make during emergencies, vacations or just when dealing plain ol’ blogging slumps. It can really cut the stress during every day blogging as well 🙂 And what better way to get ahead than with the support of other bloggers?
Dates:
Begins– Oct 1
Ends– Oct 31
Who Can Join?
Anyone who has a blog.
Blog genre/topic doesn’t matter.
You can be a reviewer or an author, brand new, been at it for years, etc.
Everyone is welcome!
Goal:
 The goal is to hunker down for the month of October and increase the number of scheduled posts you have by 30.
Ex. On Oct 1st if you have 5 posts scheduled you would then need to end the month with 35 posts scheduled.
Whatever number you’re starting with just add 30 to get your final goal.

MY CURRENT STATUS.

I spent a lot of time blogging ahead. My hubby, Mr Wonderful, has a lot of time off the last six weeks of the year, so I used this challenge as motivation to get ahead, instead of scrambling trying to put something together in between the FUN we have traveling, golfing, and hanging out with family. I feel good about where I ended up. How about you?

  • Nov:  26
  • Dec:  17
  • Total:  43

Now the real challenge is to stay ahead! 🙂
