which way do I go?

As the final day of Book Blogger Appreciation Week, I thought I'd take their Setting Goals! Challenge:

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?

Well, I feel like I need to first say that I feel a bit like a 'book blogger' poseur... I never set out to have my silly little blog be a book blog, per se, but it seems that in the last year or so, books have begun to play an even greater part of my life than ever before. I've always been a reader-- the kid who stayed up WAY too late on school nights reading into the wee hours of the night and the adult who always made the most of her library card-- but since I began writing reviews for 5 Minutes for Books, reading has become integral to my each and every day. So, I guess that has naturally made its way into my blogging as well, although I'm still not sure that I would qualify as an 'official' book blogger, if there is such a thing. So, with that little prologue in mind, which I am NOT counting toward my 50 words (and shouldn't it be fewer instead of less??), let's set some goals.

I (shamefully) want to gain a larger readership, not for fame or fortune (HA!), but because I LOVE feedback (comment-whore), and I feel just a little closer to my childhood dream of being a writer knowing that people are actually reading. I want to share the good (gratitude, remember?)- kids, hubby, books and all.

Okay, considering that a few of those words are half-sized, does that mean that I made it in under the word limit? Perhaps a goal should be more brevity, but honestly, where's the fun in that?

Time to give props to the BBAW folks for a fun week of sharing the book and blogging love!


Until next year,
