There are a few bloggers I visit every day or every other day. I have them in a folder named like (b0-favs). The number is so that it gets listed first in the Reader and I don't have to go hunting for it. Then there's one folder for people I visit once every few days. And then another folder for all my bookish news, etc. I figured rather than categorizing the feeds by their type, might as well categorize based on how often I visit each.Athira / Athshttp://www.readingonarainyday.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-9460528136023949262012-01-24T19:38:10.565-05:002012-01-24T19:38:10.565-05:00The month has just slipped past for me, too, even ...The month has just slipped past for me, too, even though there's been no travel or big change or anything to explain that sensation. I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed your time away and that the process of returning is nicely underway by now, so that you can get back to your "real books". I've read 5 of the Tournament books; I'm not going to work very hard at the remaining titles, but I do have two of them at hand, and I hope to finished a few before the discussions begin in earnest; I'd like to take it on more seriously, but I've had a few reading projects of late and I'm reluctant to add another just now!Buriedinprintnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-78765669106550600222012-01-24T15:47:45.349-05:002012-01-24T15:47:45.349-05:00So it a vacation or a honeymoon of sorts?
