Following other blogs are a great source to get information.  I have been following those that have joined in this Weekend that are doing Bloggiesta and have learned different tips to blogging.  One of those that I found helpful was to write drafts ahead of time for blogging, which is what I have been doing this morning in between those mundane chores that need to be done, like preparing dinner so my family can eat.
I then started reading my google blog reader and found a posting by Bibliophile By The Sea.  She posted about a Mini Challenge whereas there is a mystery read-a-thon !!  I would not have known about this if she hadn't posted it.  So I am also passing it along to those who might be interested.  For me...this is my favorite genre....so what a way to spend a relaxing weekend.  And even better..what an excuse not to do those chores lol.  Thank you Diane for posting it !!!!
