Definitely no more Paris in July type stuff, just the events that focus on specific authors/books/cultures I want to round out my reading with. Things I would have read anyway but it was fun to do with company. :)Alex in Leedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581135303575274237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-70500843302777761082012-12-07T15:52:05.216-08:002012-12-07T15:52:05.216-08:00Yep, there is always this weird little tug-of-war ...Yep, there is always this weird little tug-of-war going on, isn't there? Consciously, I've made the decision that my blog is a fun hobby and that I am not in it for numbers or to become a Popular Blogger. But everybody wants to be popular, right? It's sometimes hard to remember that being a Popular Blogger is not one of my goals. If that should happen, well then lovely!--but I'm not going after it.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-55798939536920753812012-12-07T13:58:41.280-08:002012-12-07T13:58:41.280-08:00I also want to limit my challenges next year to th...I also want to limit my challenges next year to the Classics Club and my own TBR list (it annoys me to have unread books around, and yet I keep buying more. And I hear you about not wanting the blog to become a source of stress--as a newer blogger than you, I feel some pressure about members, but I really only want to post what I want to post, and am always keeping that in mind.

It seems to be exactly the same size, if not a bit larger--and the wishlist is out of control!<br /><br />Gee, SRK, thanks so much! I didn't think I was on anyone's favorite list. I certainly plan to keep blogging; it has been so much fun and I feel like I hit my stride this year in reading and blogging both. :)<br />Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-10130591829629530972012-12-07T04:08:34.916-08:002012-12-07T04:08:34.916-08:00Great post!
