How did January go so quickly? It feels like I was just making new year’s resolutions. Well, I guess my progress on my blogging resolutions is as good a place to start, if any.
My blogging goals were:
- Turn She Is To Fond Of Books into a classic oriented blog
- Comment More
- Successfully host a blogging event
Now, how am I doing?
I’m very proud of myself for sticking to my classic promise. Even though I’ve only read two works thus far I have not stressed over the fact that I have only read two classics yet and have been pretty good about balancing modern and classic reading.
After a blogging hiatus last year I really took a nose-dive on commenting on other’s blogs. After joining Mother Reader’s commenting challenge I really got a boost in that area and think I’m back up to my previous standard and comment on a least five blogs per day.
Blogging events are still in process, I’ve announced two read-alongs one for Pride and Prejudice and the second for Doctor Zhivago both scheduled to begin in March. March will be a busy blogging month for me as I’m also starting a monthly event to highlight classic authors, my first author is Jane Austen, (P&P read-along to coincide). I think this is all manageable but I hope I’m not spreading too much butter over stretched bread.

Nice work this month towards your goals! It's always good to head back to Hogwarts. Also, I'm very, very tempted to join in the Doctor Zhivago Read-Along…..
I think you are doing FAB!
I think you're doing just great–that's a whole lotta challenges you've signed yourself up for. I have two coworkers who just finished the Stephen King book and I'm very tempted to give it a try–I'm just leery of the time it will take to get through it!
These sound like admirable goals! I love that I've found other classics fiends through the November's Autumn Classics Challenge. Definitely keep pushing the classics!
Oh my.. so many challenges! Fingers crossed for you! :")
