MUSING MONDAYS… is a weekly event where MizB will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.
I initially thought of not doing memes this week. If you look closely at the “Categories” section on the right sidebar you’d see that I have more memes than reviews. I don’t want this blog to focus too much on the memes.
But then, to hell with it. Haha!
Last week I only finished one book. ONE. Seven days and only one book! I knew that once university started my reading pace would slow down a bit but I didn’t expect it to be like it. In line with that, I decided to finally make a “blog calendar” where I plan all of my posts in one month, decide what book to review and when to post it. I’m not really good at meeting my own deadlines but I hope this works.
How about you, do you plan ahead what you will post in your blog or do you just open your browser and just type away whatever you feel like?
Books Keep Me Sane 
Haha, meme is fun.
I always plan my post, I’m not a spontaneous kind of person
Thanks for visiting my blog 🙂
me too, but it’s only recently that i decided to plan my posts for a whole month. thanks for visiting 🙂
I try not to let my blog be too much about memes either, but I’m starting to really like some of them. Especially Monday Musing, since it generates such good conversations!
I’ve always marked my calendar with dates that I agree to review an ARC on, but I’ve just recently started planning a little more than that. I’m definitely not organized enough to plan a whole month in advance though! I might eventually like to be, but right now planning a week in advance is about the best I do 🙂
I like musing mondays too because book bloggers can share their opinion about stuff 😀 i also stated with week to week planning but now that I’m busy with other stuff I have to be more organized to save time and keep this blog alive haha
thanks for visiting 🙂
Memes are so much fun, though 😀
I hate it when you only manage to read one or two books in a week.
I usually just open up my browser, and type whatever jumbled thoughts come into my head, haha. No planning from me!
that was how i did things before, just type away! but now that I’m very busy with stuff i have to be very organized or else I’ll forget to do a bunch of stuff and not to mention i’m very OC and paranoid about stuff, like i have to double and triple check something so yeah, making a calnedar really suits me 🙂
I make calenders for a lot of things, but blogging for me is just an outlet where I can talk about bookish stuff, and not worry about timelines 😀
But I can definitely understand why you would want to plan ahead, and make sure everything is perfect before posting! I re-read each of my posts about 3 times before publishing, and I still find errors D:
that happens with me too but sometimes when i find errors after i publish a post i just let it be because im too lazy to correct it haha
I could never do that, haha. I am a stickler for grammar and spelling. Sometimes, it can be so annoying!
I’m like that too but only when it comes to books .. i really hate typos when i read a book.
I hate typos in books, too! Especially really famous ones. I found an error in one of the TMI books, and I was pretty shocked.
yeah that is really pretty shocking, i’ve had my fair share of experience too and i really hate it, it’s so irksome >.<
I just can’t really understand how it happens, though. Surely it’s read over about 100 times – there shouldn’t be any errors!
that happens to me too, sometime when i post a fanfiction online and then i re-read the story and when i spot an error i feel very embarassed haha 😀
I know, it happens to me, too, haha.
I guess I’m being a bit harsh, but a published book should be perfect! 😛
agree! that’s why the editors are there 🙂
I need to do a calendar. My reviews just show up whenever. Thanks for visiting.
same goes for me that’s why i started my won calendar.. have a great week! 🙂
I used to wing it but last year I got more organized, and planned posts and scheduled in advance. It works really well for me.
I don’t overplan and I don’t have a calendar or anything, but I do have a fairly clear plan of what I am going to cover in my blog each month. I found it makes blogging easier and saves time. I do sometimes miss that early spontaneity though 😦
i find it easier to have a calendar than just recall in my mind what i am supposed to post today or tomorrow.. i guess it works differently for different poeple 😀
One book in seven days? What have you been doing, girlie? Slacking! How are you keeping sane? Ha ha, just kidding! I think it’s better not to force ourselves to a certain schedule (I’m being a hypocrite because I have a blog schedule and my July to September is overwhelming fully-booked already). I think reading should still be a hobby and should never be turned into something you force yourself to do (coming from someone who tries to finish so many reading challenges).
You know what…just ignore me and do whatever you feel like doing! I’m no expert and I’m certainly not even following my own advice, ha ha. Oh well!

it’s really ironic that we make great advices but we can’t follow them ourselves, I am one of those people too! The thing is I really really want to read the book but I don’t have the choice but to set it aside first because of academic books T_T but i think it’s better to read one book in a week than nothing at all 🙂 i just hope that I can achieve my goal this year which is to read 100 books 😀
Very true, I’m finishing a degree right now too and I’m forced to make my schoolwork a priority. It sucks but oh well. Good luck with your goal! 🙂 I’m sure you’ll reach it.
aww thank you and goodluck to you too. have a great week 🙂
Hey, read my MM today and you will see that is still way more than most people! Sadly…
so true .. 😦 well better finish one book a week than not read at all… 🙂
That’s actually a pretty good, planning reviews like that. I need to do that myself. And one book in seven days isn’t bad.
I used to finish three of four books a week T_T that’s how much time I used to have.
I have a goal of reading 100 books this year and I’m halfway through so I don’t want to fall behind and not complete my goal, I’ve gone this far 😀
Memes are fun, aren’t they? 🙂
