Recap of my WeekWell, this week has been really fun! My giveaway has ended (Congratulations Zoette Knightly! I have sent you an email), I have been a Follow Friday Feature, reached nearly 100 bloglovin followers, won two firstread giveaways in one night, won a giveaway at another blog, and have had the highly anticipated book, Gemini Rising, shipped out to me! Wow.
So how was your week?
Today's Topic: Updating
Anyway, todays topic is updating. Because, well book bloggers have a lot of that to do. I am good at updating Goodreads, and my posts if needed. But I am terrible at remembering to change my currently reading gadget on the sidebar. (I finished The Gray Wolfe Throne a month ago.) Also, I add my reviews on amazon pretty infrequently unless the book was a review request.
Updating Goodreads: There is a lot to update on goodreads...I love it!!! You can update on what your currently reading, ratings, and reviews. Since I practically live on Goodreads, my profile and stuff is always up to date.
One routine I have is that every sunday I go through all my blog reviews and make sure they are on Goodreads.
Amazon: On Amazon you can only post reviews (and listmania). I am truly horrible at updating this. Maybe writing this post will guilt me into updating on Amazon more.
Do you update on Amazon or Goodreads?
And, lastly, updating my blog. I post frequently and update my other pages like Giveaways and Newbie Blogger Diaries, but my gadgets and widgets? I am pretty behind. Any tips?
Also, as of April I have been trying to post everyday. So far I mostly have! *cheers*. And what gadgets do you have? I have my blog button, currently reading, ways to follow, search box, and upcoming blog tours. I have been thinking of also adding a giveaways gadget so they are easy to access.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Updating is work, but in the end it leads to more fun! And somethings I think I update to much (like my blog design.) Did you see my new design? By the way, I know this post was everywhere, but updates and other things have ben swirling my mind!
What are your updating habits? Also, I would love to know how your week went :)
As a blogger and a reviewer, I make sure I post my reviews on Goodreads, Amazon, and now, Barnes and Noble. When requesting ARCs, publishers love to see that.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging! I'm actually new myself. I started four months ago :)
Let me know if you need anything! I'm always here to help ^_^

Thanks! Hmm, maybe I should think about starting to post my reviews on B&N :)
DeleteUpdating Amazon is so hard to remember! I know authors like it when you do but I always forget! Goodreads is my favorite because its so easy! Although I'm pretty bad about putting reviews up. I'm not really new to blogging but I wish you luck with your blog! Doing good so far :)

Yeah, Amazon is something you only remember when you are lying in bed at night like, "Oh, I forgot to post on Amazon!" Thanks!
DeleteThanks to the scheduling feature, I kept an "update everday" schedule in April. But I'm going slower this month, mainly because life has been getting more busy. :P
ReplyDeleteI'm so slow when it comes to tossing reviews on Goodreads. What I'm going to do is that I'm going to post my reviews to Goodreads at the end of the month OR if the book is coming up within the month, post it before that. :) I've never posted on Amazon though. I really should! :(
Amazon is a cool place to post... when you remember to :)
DeleteGreat Post! I started blogging in February so I love reading your newbie blogger diary posts :-) I update my
ReplyDeleteGoodreads and Amazon reviews as soon as I post my review on my blog so that I don't get behind. I read a lot of books so I have to do it this way to keep up :-) I am really bad about updating my pages though.
I should start updating Amazon and Goodreads as soon as I post my review too... Seem smart! A lot of times writing notes on the little white board in my room helps me remember to update my pages :)
DeleteI'm glad you like Newbie Blogger Diaries! My whole point of them is to have other people enjoy them and maybe they will learn something from me, or a lot of times the other way around!! :D Thanks
Fun post! Updating can be a pain to keep up with, especially when your life can get hectic like mine can. I post my stuff on Goodreads, and Amazon when I remember and I have rarely remembered to put them on B&N, shame on me. When I forget for a while to post them on other places, I will spend all day doing a mass review update. Also, if you like to try posting everyday, you should check out the 30 days of books challenge. I did it June last year, and it was really fun! This June will mark my 2nd blogoversary, and I'm still learning stuff all the time :-) Thanks for coming by and following, new follower here, too!
