I was not able to complete everything on my list, and my list grew a bit from the start of the weekend, BUT I am so very happy with all that was completed.  I got sooooo much stuff done and I am feeling much better about everything than I was this time last week.  Overall, I consider Bloggiesta a success!!  The one downside is that I did not participate in any of the challenges, but the beauty of these online events is that I can still go back and check them out this week and get the information.  I was really excited about a number of them this time around.

I close with just a brief round-up of my reading for the week . . .

I finished Allegiant by Veronica Roth finally!  Yay!!  That review will be coming in the near future.  I also finished Chew, Volume 1:  Taster's Choice by John Layman.  And, started Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne Jones.

How did Bloggiesta go for you?  How about your reading?
