Book Blogger Must Haves

 As a book blogger, there are certain items I use daily for this blog.  

Here is my list:

1. A good planner/datebook
When I first started as a book blogger, my planner was very small.  Maybe 5x7 or smaller.  This year's and the year before are the biggest I have ever used.  8.5x11 inches.  For next year, I got the same brand as this year, but they made it smaller.  The brand I brought is called Creative Expert and I buy it from Ross Dress for Less.

2. Post-its
My planner is full of post-its.

3.  A google doc of the author's Instagram & Facebook tags
There are times where a tag won't work so I go to my google doc to look it up.

4. Colored gel pens & highlighters
When I finish a promo, I use a blue gel pen and make a ▢ and I fill it in.  When a promo is moved, I use a red gel pen and put a line through the promo and add it where it is going to be then.  I use the highlighters for the new releases and each week is a different color.  I also use the highlighters to highlight the promo company's name (I use 1-2 letters for each company) so I can find what I need to find quickly.  Try not to double sign up for promos.

5. Clipboards
I have 2 clipboards I use.  One for what I have read. Other for the new releases.


6. White out

7. My laptop and desk
I will add a photo once I clean up my desk.  I had a water leak on one of my tables in my office and stuff is everywhere right now.

8. Washi tape when I organize my planner
This is only when I get a new planner.  Right now I am working on next year's planner to get it set up.  I like having two columns 

9. A Drink

What's on your desk? Comment and let me know.

Happy Reading!!
