As usual I’ve come late to a party, and am horribly unorganised!
However, all is not lost – this weekend is the summer mini Bloggiesta covering July 19th and 20th .
First thing apparently Is to do a To Do List of what you want to achieve over the weekend! Because this is not the main Bloggiesta, and is only over 2 days, this list can be short.
Therefore here is my list:
- clear up draft posts – get rid of any redundant/unnecessary posts
- clear up media items – remove duplicates, ensure titles are correct etc.
- write any remaining reviews/general posts
- search for more prompts for possible future posts including reviewing what Google Alerts I have there.
- Review my Google+ set up and see if I can make it work better for me
Writing about books 
sounds like you have a good plan there. what kind of alerts do you have set up? I have ‘literary prizes as one category and then some authors names

I have alerts for things like “book blog” and “Richard and Judy” but to be honest, I am rarely reading them any more and they just get deleted out of my inbox. ,

I have the same problem. Maybe yiur terms are too broad so they catch too many items

I’ve deleted the whole lot of them, and *might* try again in the future when I work out what might work.
I did go through a phase of clicking the “not relevant” button on pages I didnt like/want but gave up in the end

Good luck with your list!
I’m curious about your Google Alerts. I had a few different ones set up, but they just don’t seem to be working and haven’t for a while. I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong!

I’ve stopped reading my google alerts as I rarely if ever found anything interesting or useful. Yesterday was the day I gave myself permission to delete them, and stop clogging up my inbox until I delete them!
