Unbloggiesta!

This past weekend was the 4th Bloggiesta hosted by Natasha at Maw Books. It's a blogging marathon where you get all your blogging housekeeping done that hasn't been getting done. Nobody needs a Bloggiesta more than I do, but it never fails that I'm always totally booked the weekend of Bloggiesta - all four of them. Therefore, since I'm not busy this coming weekend, I've decided to have my own lonely Bloggiesta for better or worse. It might not be nearly as fun and community involved and all those good things I've been missing by, you know, never being home to attend to the needs of my blog during the allotted Bloggiesta days, but I'm taking the idea and borrowing the picture, even, and here's hoping I can accomplish some things. Some of these things in particular...

- Write 4 3 book reviews (The Knife of Never Letting Go, Blood Lily, The Death Instinct, and Open House)
- Write up the 2010 Leafy Awards (Seriously...I haven't done this yet?!?)
- Write a post about the new (used) books I may or may not have acquired this week (Bad Megan!!)
- Add the new acquisitions to my LibraryThing shelf
- Experiment with a new feature I've been toying with and see if its regularly doable
- Whip my review books spreadsheet into shape
- Make a pretty banner for the header (!!!)
- Get books ready to take to the post office and to donate
- Prepare about a zillion Waiting on Wednesday posts (So fun, so easy - no excuse not to have them!)
- Finish the Book Review by Title Archive
- Back up blog
- Clean up the dreaded feed reader
- Comment on 20 19 15 7 blogs

And/or whatever else I can think of. Wish me luck!
