Hover…

I rarely go through these streaks where I think… I have to write a blog? About what? I can’t think of a single thing to say. It does happen, but its not usual. Most of the time I have about twenty posts I wish I could put up a day. Yes, a day! Makes it rather hard to pick and choose which one to go with.

For instance, I’m helping Harlequin make their goal of 100,000 books read and reviewed this year(not just Harlequin books, any we read) at which time they will then donate a HUGE quantity of books to a needing group(don’t know who yet). Since I signed up I have been constantly about 8 books behind in posting. I’ve been trying to post them every other day but suddenly I’ve been on a reading stinge and wham… I’m not just a little behind but WAY behind!!!! I was thinking this week I’d post only reviews. That would eat up five reviews and well you know, catch me up a bit. But that hasn’t worked because somehow, other posts screamed louder to be posted when I went to click the publish button.

This morning is case in point. I WAS going to post a book review one way or another(even the books are yelling as to who gets posted first… I have several books I so excited to tell you about! SEVERAL) But then I had this email in my inbox about Shelfari’s newest feature–their bookshelves that we put on the sidebars of our blogs will contain our reviews! Just hover over the book and whala! You can see what we thought of the book!

Is that just too cool or what???? I love it. Take a peek at my sidebar!

Yes, I’m a gadget geek and I’m proud of it. Especially when you combine my love for books, writing, sharing, convenience… I’m sure I’m missing some adjectives there but… you get the idea. So instead of posting about one of the books I’ve read I’m letting you all know about the hover feature. The books on the shelf rotate periodically automatically, though I can set this up however I want. I loved Shelfar before… and it just keeps getting better!

Oh and there was another gadget that I discovered yesterday… ShareThis. I tried it out on Jill Shalvis’s blog (she always has funny posts… I love reading them first thing in the morning… sets you up for a good day with a great mood!) I sent one of her posts out to a couple of friends and it worked wonderfully! I HAD to get it. So I did. Check it out! The cool feature is below every post! The little green button.

*Sigh* So anyhow… I’ve obviously have not been posting my book reviews this week, not even every other day! And this bugs me because I have several authors I really want to tell you to read. Like, Loreth Anne White’s series that I couldn’t put down… couldn’t! Just ask my family. Or Kate Hardy’s book I got for free over the holiday’s as an ebook from Harlequin and discovered a new voice I loved! I mean, there are several here that I really want to tell you about. But… time… finding the time!

I think maybe I will post on weekends for a while… so I can get the book review pile whiddled down to just one or two. We’ll see. The thing is, the problem isn’t whether I post those days or not, it’d be sticking to only posting the posts already written!

Have a greet Wednesday Everyone!
