BBAW - Setting Goals - 50 words or less


Write in 50 words or less…what do you like best about your blog right now and where would you like your blog to be a year from now?

This blog was born in August, what I like about it now is it has a little bit of everything book related.

Next year I’d like to have more detailed reviews, and more interesting challenges, and more traffic.



38 words wow! That wasn't easy!
