A to Z Blogging
Reflection
This is only my second year. 2014 was truly a mishmash of topics plus we had Disneyland passes so there were a lot of Disney related posts.
This year snuck up on me and I wasn't going to do it. I didn't have posts prepared, I didn't have a topic, and without Disney passes, I felt I didn't have a ready muse.
In steps my son, "You're a book blog, why don't you do book reviews". O_o
So that's what I did. 30 days. 26 letters. 26 book reviews. One letter cheated on (X-mas instead of Christmas). Plus two extra reviews (children's safety picture books).
Will I do this again next year? I'm already thinking about themes.
What will I do differently? Prepare more posts ahead of time.
Here's the breakdown. The list of books, with covers, is not finished.

That's a lot of reading and reviewing. I picked up about 7 books during the challenge and now they're waiting on my Kindle.
You did really well! That's a lot of book reviews to do. I don't think I would have managed. Congratulations on finishing A to Z! Elle @ Erratic Project Junkie
I'm amazed you got a book for each letter. Very awesome. I'm thinking on next year too. Doing them ahead of time is so the way to go :D Congrats on making it to the end!
Wow! Book reviews for A to Z seems very ambitious! I'm impressed :)
