Bloggish Business:
I’m putting together a Pinterest board for book blogs. If you’d like your blog to be included let me know! If you don’t have a logo or a good pinnable image it won’t work quite as well. But I can usually find a way around that. This is a work in progress and I’d appreciate any tips or tricks! (Please spread the word!) 
The Estella Society is hosting a fun project here. Check it out!
Did you have a good week? What are YOU reading?

Great idea for the Pinterest board and I'd love to be included! Hope you read some amazing books this week :-)Tanya PatriceGirlxoxo.com

That Pinterest board is a great idea! I've often thought it would be a handy way to find new book blogs all together in one place. I'd love to be included.

It was an okay week, but hopefully can get some more reading over the next few days as I'm participating in a read-a-thon.Also what makes a good mom is modesty…and it looks like you have a lot of that too. 😉

I love your Pinterest board idea, and I'll definitely link to it in my next \”News & Notes\” post (on Saturday.)I didn't read as much as I'd like this week, but I got a lot of posts prepped for the upcoming Children's Book Week (starts tomorrow)! Have a great week, and Happy Mother's Day! My wonderful husband is fixing French toast and sausages for brunch. It's a family tradition.

Happy mothers day Jennifer! thanks for including me in your pinterest board on book logs.
