Even though reading challenges sometimes stress me out and I still find them a little strange, I decided I wanted to do the Women Unbound Challenge this year. Feminism or feminist themes is one way I get hooked on books, and I can do the challenge with books I already have in my apartment (therefore forcing me to read through my very full to-be-read shelves).

Congrats! We’re at the last week of the Blog Improvement Project — a year smarter and, hopefully, a year better at blogging. This post has details for the final task, as well as information (and a request) regarding the future of the BIP.
I feel like December is always a time of wrapping up loose ends, trying to make sure projects didn’t get forgotten or tasks didn’t get ignored so I can start out the new year feeling refreshed and ready to go. I love the feeling of starting fresh every 365 days. In the spirit of finishing [...]
Today I had the honor of guest posting over at the Women Unbound Challenge blog. I wrote about the book that helped open my eyes to what the feminist movement could mean and inspired me to rethink my own political ideologies on the topic. To find out what the book was, head on over to [...]

One of my favorite weeks of the entire year is Random Acts of Kindness Week. While the one for 2009 already passed, and 2010 isn’t until February 15-21, I’ve been thinking about kindness a lot lately and felt like I could make it part of the Blog Improvement Project. This weeks BIP task is to [...]
I hope everyone is feeling good about doing some feed reader organization last week. My apologies for not explaining what a feed reader was in the original post; I just assumed that people would know what that means, but of course you know what happens when you assume :) This week’s post also has to [...]
With all the excitement of Book Blogger Appreciation Week this week’s BIP post slimmed my mind. However, BBAW also gave me the inspiration for the topic, so that’s exciting. One thing that’s become out of control thanks to BBAW (in a good way) is my blog reading life. How on earth do I keep track [...]
One thing that’s awesome about blogs is that they can potentially live on forever. Posts you wrote a month, a year, two or three years ago even, are still out there for people to find and read.
