I am now linking my Monthly Rewind with the awesome Nicole @Feed your Fiction Addiction
What ‘s been happening this month
At some point at the end of July and Beginning of August I realized a lot of my stress is from being so unorganized, at home and on the blog, my blog has been lacking so bad lately. I am hoping you all didn’t abandon me yet because I have good things to come and have been doing so much organizing and thinking that I feel that the last few months of this year and next year is going to be amazing. This will be a huge step for Because Reading and I am excited to move my baby into the next level of blogging. I want to type I hope but instead I am going to type I WILL! I tend to second guess myself and have little to no self confidence, I am not sure why it’s just they way it is. So I need to suck it up and get myself to feel more confident in what I write and the content I put out. So this blog is getting a make over (not design, I love my design) but with posts begin more content filled and more reviews. I also plan to make a post of how I organized and all the research I have been doing it will be a fun post and I hope it will be helpful.
I want to take a moment to Thank Michelle@Book Briefs because without her Blogging on a Time Crunch posts this would have never happened. So thank you Michelle!
What to expect in September
Well September I plan to do more organizing but I will be creating and setting up posts for the last 3 months of this year and for next year as well. September might be the return of the Author Spotlight but it will be a HUGE change. I want to do something that not only Spotlights awesome Authors but also all of you Awesome Bloggers. So I might be in touch with some of you or you can always get in contact with me once the post/page goes live.
I also plan to do a few more blitz posts and blog tours because honestly I enjoy doing them and helping promote books but I also want to add other non bookish things to the blog. Like the return of my App reviews, I have a lot coming up and I am so excited about them.
I am also starting a new feature on the blog that will involve other bloggers. I hope it will be fun, I will be trying it out in September.
I have also been thinking of a way to bring back my Author Spotlight because I get reviews in my emails all the time and I hate that I can’t take some of them, the Authors enjoyed the spotlight and I think I might bring it back but not as many as I use to do.
So as I said before don’t abandon me yet, the best is yet to come. ๐

My Favorite Book this month
This was the last book and the series and it was completely EPIC. I pretty much lost all thought and it was not how I expected to end. It KILLED me. My review for this book will be up with the tour on September 16th.
How did you do this month?
Have a Great Day and Happy Reading
Those Blogging on a Time Crunch posts were really amazing and helpful – Michelle is great!
You know you make me wish I could be as organized as you are. I just don’t know that I have it in me even though I know it’d make life easier. I always tell my kids that I’m organized in the areas I *have* to be…everywhere else is a free-for-all. ๐ I’m excited to see what all you have planned for the coming months though. And no way, would any of us abandon you!! Silly girl!
I really want to read Crane….
I am hoping to do a post about how I organized myself. I just need a little more time to make sure I am really as organized as I think I am lol
You really should read Crane its really good and OMG the end was amazing!
Organization, one of my ongoing challenges. Good luck to you! I’m looking forward to your new features and revamped Author Spotlight.
It is a very big challenge and I need to make sure I don’t fall off the wagon ๐
I have been going crazy trying to think of something new to do with the Author Spotlight, I enjoyed doing it but it sometimes was a LOT more work than it was worth.
Organization is great! Sounds like you are going to have a great September! ๐ I really need to read Crane. ๐
Yes you really do ๐
Sounds like you have great things planned for the end of the year. I’m hoping to similarly get myself better organized and set up through the end of the year. Something about summer just throws everything off! ๐
Also, Steam… that cover, wow. Now I must investigate the series, but tell me… will my heart be broken at the end of it?
Summer completely throws me off to. I am very glad it’s over. I feel better organized but still have something’s to do.
Steam was great and it might ๐
