Posted on 21:00 by gllapsi

1. I'm looking for bloggers, authors, and readers who are interested in writing a guest post about their favorite independent bookstores. I'd like to breathe some new life into my Love My Indie feature. Last year, I had many wonderful guests posts from authors and bloggers, but this year I haven't been as diligent about requesting guest posts. I'd love to revive this feature on my blog. If

The Friday Five

Posted on 21:00 by gllapsi

1. Earlier this week I confessed that I am in a blogging rut. Something happened in making that claim that freed me and invigorated me. Who knew that it would be that simple? Part of the lull that I was experiencing had a lot to do with the fact that I wasn't sharing that much about myself in my blog posts. I need more of me on my blog. While I will continue to share mostly books at Actin' Up

What I Want (and don't want) my Blog to Be

Posted on 08:05 by gllapsi
I'm in a blogging rut. Just putting that out there from the very
beginning. In the past 2 weeks I've posted one review, one book
recommendation, and 2 giveaways and announced the winners - so not too much of anything of real substance. I've always said that you shouldn't
make apologies for lack of posting or reviewing. That is not what this
is. I've just lacked some inspiration. All of the
