Bloggiesta - Finish Line

index 



I'm so excited to have gotten so much done on my blog is just one day!! Here's a list of what I accomplished today during the mini Bloggiesta!

1. Finished adding all of my 2013 reviews to my Reviews page. Check it out!!

2. Added a list of my favorite books to my Books Read in 2013 page.

3. Cleaned up my sidebar and add a Goodreads widget for books read in 2014.

4. Wrote two reviews and my Week in Review post that will publish tomorrow morning.


5. Cleaned up my blog email, creating a book reviews folder and adding some automatic filters so emails from certain people will go straight to that folder.

6. Created a template post for monthly updates, so I will actually have time to write monthly recaps this year!

7. Completed The "Basics" Mini Challenge.

I'm so glad I took the time to participate today! Yay!

    Sounds like you did a lot. Well done! I've given up on monthly updates - I used to do them, but they take too much time. Even a template... I just copy from the previous month, it still takes a long time. Hopefully you have a better system than me!

      Yeah... I did so well with monthly updates in 2012. I don't think I did a single one in 2013. So we'll see how it goes....

    What a great day you had!! I really need to clean up my blog email (and my personal one for that matter). I need to get a good weekly/monthly template going and think I found something to help me with it in the plug-in i purchased.

Banned Books Week: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park

This is the end of Banned Books Week and unfortunately, I haven't had a lot of time to write about banned books this year. But I did want to include at least one post about it, so today I wanted to share one of the book series that it seems most people are surprised to find on the list: Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park.

According to Wikipedia:
The Junie B. Jones series came in at #71 on the American Library Association's list of the Top 100 Banned or Challenged Books from 2000-2009. Reasons cited are poor social values taught by the books and Junie B. Jones not being considered a good role model due to her mouthiness and bad spelling/grammar. This is an interesting example of a banned book. Many times there are serious, controversial topics featured in books that are challenged. Things like homosexuality, drugs, vulgar language, etc. You can actually understand why people may not want their children to read those books, and why they may challenge their inclusion in school libra…
