Blogmas 2021! | Tentative Schedule

It’s that time of year, peeps. After a year of low activity for me on this blog, I’m going to attempt Blogmas to get back into the swing of things. I’ve done this every year since I think 2015, and I didn’t want to skip this year just because I’ve been a bum. So this is my tentative posting schedule for this blogmas:

  • 1: This post!
  • 2: Christmas bucket list
  • 3: November wrap up
  • 4: Fall book haul
  • 5: December currently reading
  • 6: Birth story
  • 7: Fantasy bingo update
  • 8: Top 5 Wednesday
  • 9: Christmas decorations set up
  • 10: Fall/winter favorites
  • 11: Must have and not worth it items as a new mom
  • 12: Daily routine with a newborn
  • 13: Bookish Christmas Book Tag
  • 14: Top Ten Tuesday – End of year TBR
  • 15: All I Want for Christmas Book Tag
  • 16: Best books to read by the fireplace
  • 17: Books I wanted to read but didn’t get to
  • 18: Favorite video games of 2021
  • 19: Favorite TV Shows of 2021
  • 20: 12 Days of Christmas Book Tag
  • 21: Top Ten Tuesday – Books I hope Santa brings
  • 22: Top 5 Wednesday – Prettiest covers
  • 23: Baking cookies
  • 24: Christmas Eve Book Tag
  • 25: Nothing! I get a break today
  • 26: What we did for Christmas
  • 27: December book haul
  • 28: Bookshelf tour 2021
  • 29: 10 in 2022
  • 30: Bottom books of 2021
  • 31: Top books of 2021/ a year in review

And that’s it! It’s shorter than my typical Blogmas (week of Thanksgiving through Jan 8th or so) but I’m also trying to go easy on myself. We’ll see if I can manage this, and if it inspires me to post regularly again. We’ll see, wish me luck! If you’re doing Blogmas this year, do let me know!

Blogmas 2020 has arrived! | Tentative posting schedule

It’s here, it’s here! Blogmas has begun!

But what, you say? It’s only November 21st? You’re right! But I’m being nuts this year and starting Blogmas today!

Why? Well, because I normally post on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, aaaand next week has Thanksgiving on Thursday and I make a special post for that as well. So between now and December first, the “normal” start of Blogmas, I’d be posting seven out of ten days anyways. So I figured I’m gonna start the bloggy cheer early this year!

I’m also planning on doing all those end-of-year posts between after Christmas and into the beginning of January, meaning I’ll be going for a while after the normal date range as well.

So from today until January 7th, you’ll see a post from me every day!

The only exception being Christmas Day. I’m giving myself that day off because it’s Christmas, man.

This is my tentative posting schedule. Everything is subject to change, but as of right now, this is what I’m leaning towards. If you’re doing Blogmas as well, feel free to swipe ideas:

November:

  • 21 – This post!
  • 22 – Nanowrimo update 3
  • 23 – Thanksgiving decorations
  • 24 – Top 10 Tuesday, Thanksgiving edition
  • 25 – Top 5 Wednesday, “No Thanks”
  • 26 – Thanksgiving Day Book Tag
  • 27 – TIME TO GET FESTIVE, fall bucketlist check-in/holiday bucketlist
  • 28 – November favorites
  • 29 – Nanowrimo week 4
  • 30 – November wrap up

December:

  • 1 – Nanowrimo results
  • 2 – Top 5 Wednesday, TBD
  • 3 – December currently reading
  • 4 – Book haul fate
  • 5 – Christmas decorations 2020
  • 6 – Christmas movies to-be-watched
  • 7 – Music Monday, Christmas edition
  • 8 – Top 10 Tuesday, Holiday/Seasonal edition
  • 9 – Top 5 Wednesday, TBD
  • 10 – Blogmas/vlogmas faves and shoutouts
  • 11 – Christmas cracker book tag
  • 12 – Unfinished series/series I won’t finish 2020
  • 13 – 12 Days of Christmas book tag
  • 14 – Christmas stuffing recipe
  • 15 – Top 10 Tuesday, books on my winter TBR/book buying ban is over!
  • 16 – Top 5 Wednesday, TBD
  • 17 – Baking cookies
  • 18 – Christmas book blogger tag
  • 19 – Coffee mug collection 2020
  • 20 – Christmas breakfast egg bake recipe
  • 21 – Fantasy bingo update
  • 22 – Top 10 Tuesday, Books I hope Santa brings
  • 23 – Top 5 Wednesday, TBD
  • 24 – Christmas Eve book tag
  • 25 – Merry Christmas! No post from me today
  • 26 – December favorites
  • 27 – 10 in 2021
  • 28 – December book haul
  • 29 – New year’s eve book tag
  • 30 – Top 5 Wednesday, books I didn’t get to in 2020
  • 31 – December wrap up

January:

  • 1 – 2020: A year in review
  • 2 – Reading resolutions 2021
  • 3 – Bottom books of 2020
  • 4 – Music Monday
  • 5 – Top 10 Tuesday, Top books of 2020
  • 6 – Top 5 Wednesday, TBD
  • 7 – Bookshelf tour 2021

And that will be it – my posting schedule (give or take) for the next month in a half. I will be pre-writing a lot of it, but some posts obviously I won’t be able to. I might end up swapping out some of these with book blabbers, should anything really grip me. I don’t plan blabbers ahead of time as I don’t know which books will inspire them. But don’t be surprised if a few pop up! Also, those ‘TBD’s on the Top 5 Wednesday are there because the prompts have not been posted yet. When they are, I’ll either do them if I like them or sub them out for some other post if I don’t. Either way, there will be a post.

My everyday posting will end as I said on Jan 7th, that’ll give me a day of break, and then that weekend, I’ll resume my normal Sat-Sun-Tues-Wed schedule, starting with my January currently readingย and a holiday bucketlist check-inย post, followed by 2021 Anticipated Reads and a Top 5 Wednesday! And then after that I need to start planning again because I’ll be out of ideas!

This is my fifth year doing Blogmas, and it’s always so much fun. If you’re doing it this year, please let me know. I’d love to follow along on your posts!

Happy Blogmas everyone! I’M SO PUMPED.

The end of the year really has some great posts going around.

For anyone participating in Blogmas and looking for ideas, feel free to steal these. They’re not proprietary by any means.

So if you follow my blog, you will see these things from me in the next month and a half, more or less. I might switch things around or sub out things, but as of writing this, this is what I’m gonna do:

Blogmas 2018: Tentative posting schedule

Blogmas 2018

Hello, today is one of my favorite posting days! The one where I tell you ‘I’m totally gonna do this’ and then hopefully do it. Most years, I end up pretty solidly doing it, so neat.

I’ve been doing Blogmas every year since 2015 I believe. It’s an event where you post every day from December 1st through the 24th or 25th. I tend to go through the end of the year and even into January, though, because that’s when all the fun ‘favorite books of the year’ type posts come out. Every year, I make a tentative posting schedule, open to change should I read a really good book that needs a review or have an idea that I just need to throw in, etc etc.

If you’re planning on participating in Blogmas, let me know! If you’d like to use some of or all of these ideas, you go for it. ๐Ÿ˜€

After January 6th, I’ll be returning to my normal Saturday – Sunday – Wednesday posting schedule, and will likely need a nap.

I’m very much looking forward to December, it’s my favorite time of year, and Blogmas is one of the reasons I find it so great. I hope you decide to participate too! Happy reading!

Blogmas 2017!

Blogmas

Hello! Today I’m announcing that I will be participating in Blogmas again this year! I’ve done it the past two years, both of which ended up bring successful.

This past month, I’ve been participating in NaNoWriMo and as a result have accidentally ended up taking a bit of a haitus from posting here. That wasn’t my intent and I apologize for my time managing skills. I’ve also fallen behind on a buddy read with Zezee because of it as well (Sorry Zezee friend. I’ll get there, I promise!! D: )

So both as a way to kick-start myself back into post after NaNo is over and to get me on here reading all your blogs again, I’m doing this Blogmas. Day 1, December 1st, I will post my tentative posting schedule for the month, and then I will go from there.

Also, I’m fairly sure I’m going to win NaNo this year, so maybe all my seclusion is worth it. ๐Ÿ˜€ Maybe.

Wish me luck, and if you’re participating in Blogmas as well, let me know!

Happy reading!
