The last task for Book Blogger Appreciation Week is to talk about our blogs in 50 words or less in terms of what we like and what our goals are for the next 12 months. Well, we all know how long winded I am, but I'll give it a shot to be brief.
Reviews = Satisfactory
Interviews = Need more
Guest Posts = Need more interactivity
Giveaways = Great
Changes = clean up sidebars, speed up downloading, increase page views and subscribers
How did I do? Only 29 words. Not bad. What about you?
****
Ready for the end of BBAW Giveaway??
All you have to do is tell me who said this quote:
"Once the people begin to reason, all is lost"
And for a bonus:
"A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists."
These are all books from my shelves and have been gently used or came from library sales or other places:
1. copy of Seduce Me by Robyn DeHart
2. copy of Queen of the Oddballs by Hillary Carlip
3. copy of For Better, For Worse by Carole Matthews
4. copy of Dear Jane Austen: A Heroine's Guide to Life and Love by Patrice Hannon
5. copy of The Blue Zone by Andrew Gross
This prize pack of books will go to one winner anywhere in the world.

I'm not entering, but since you mentioned guest posts, I have to ask...do you find comments come to a screeching halt when you have a guest post? I seem to get very few comments on other people's posts.
Hmmm. I admit I googled the answers but I guess I could have just cheated and read everyone else's answers!

Oh how fun!! Way to get that all written in 29 words. Whoot whoot! I love quotes, and Voltaire makes me think of the movie The Princess Diaries b/c of the quote "Voltaire or hair? Personally, I liked to hear about Voltaire" when everyone is talking about Mia's new haircut. Okay i'm done. haha.
Answer 1 - Voltaire
Answer 2 - Don Marquis

Wow, FIVE books!?
The first quote is by Voltaire (and I knew it already) and the second is by Don Marquis (whom I had never heard of before, to be honest).

I am going to think REALLY hard back to my lit days in college ...hmmm, I hope nobody else got it yet :D
Could it be?:
#1 Francois Marie Arouet whose pen name was Voltaire
and
#2 Donald Robert Perry Marquis most often called Don Marquis for short
(I figured you deserved more than just the names which at this point were easy enough to copy)
Thanks for the giveaway which just happens to end on my birthday!!!

Great job with the goals. Though I think you do quite a few author interviews ... more than most bloggers I think!
Good luck with your goals, Serena! I am not sure I have any set goals for this year. Little ones maybe, but nothing I've quite solidified. I just want to catch up on my review books at this point. LOL
I actually knew the Voltaire one already -- even though he's not my favorite reading material most days :-)
