Filed under: Carnivals, Non-Reviews, Reading Journal, Writing about Reading

I feel I’m finally getting a balance back between reading and blogging. It felt very good to be unplugged for nearly five days, and I think I may have to do that more often. I’m also trying to shy away from challenges in the coming year. There are so many that have tempted me, but [...]

Reading Journal (9 Sep): What is Rebecca Reads?

Filed under: Blogging Miscellany, Carnivals, Non-Reviews, Writing about Reading

I didn’t even respond to comments over my short vacation weekend. It was so refreshing, and yet for some reason, I feel like I was being neglectful. That suggests to me that I’ve been tied to the blog a bit too much, and I think I may make it a habit to not check the [...]

Recent and Upcoming Bookworms Carnivals

Filed under: Blogging Miscellany, Carnivals, Non-Reviews

In the past month, there were two great Bookworms Carnivals. The first one was about paranormal fiction, hosted here.

The 30th Edition of the Bookworms Carnival, hosted by Michelle at Biblio.me, is up! It’s theme was “Books about Books” and features both fiction and nonfiction. I love books that talk about books, and it was so much fun to visit posts about so many books that I haven’t yet read.
