If you want some fun Christian chick-lit, Erynn Mangum writes fun ones. Or if you want hilarious memoirs, Bill Bryson and David Sedaris are hysterical.

I think it would be SO much fun to do and am hoping to get to do it this summer. Would you like to do it then? I have a few other bloggers talking about doing it, too, and you should totally do it, too! <br /><br />I really am seriously thinking about buying the domain. It's been almost a year since I've used this blog name and I think it's FINALLY time to make the switch. What site did you guys use when buying TQP domain?Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995732867958680921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-79929185403602525792014-05-21T20:38:34.508-07:002014-05-21T20:38:34.508-07:00You guessed right!

I've heard a lot of amazing things about it and it sounds amazing (especially as a fan of the ABM team). I'm hoping to get to and through it this summer and I think it's sharing it in posts like these that will keep me accountable!<br /><br />And I've heard a lot of people say they got their domain via GoDaddy and have been trying to think of how I want my domain to be. I'm thinking of initstimeblog(dot)com since initstime(dot)com is taken. Do you think the former is too complicated?Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995732867958680921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-52660358667715808552014-05-21T20:36:31.746-07:002014-05-21T20:36:31.746-07:00Me, too!

I want to go through it this summer and already told Amy (how are there so many Amy's in the blogging world, btw? I was totally confused at first when you said me + you + Amy at first, haha) and I think it would be a lot of fun to do it alongside other bloggers like Samantha/Megan/Beth are. Let's do it!<br /><br />And I'm lacking serious motivation in the fiction department as well. I'm craving it yet have absolutely no inspiration. <br /><br />Lastly, I'm definitely thinking about it! I made the switch to the new blog name this time last year and I think the next (obvious) step is having the blog URL to match it. Plus, a .com just seems wayyy more legit. Do you use GoDaddy? I think a lot of people do and am trying to poll who uses what site to buy their domain through.

School here doesn't get out until mid-June and I'm hoping to be able to do it after school ends so I have more time to devote to it. If you're willing to wait a little longer, I'd love to do it alongside you!<br /><br />And I am seriously considering buying the domain. My current blog URL has nothing to do with my blog and now that I'm working, buying the domain really isn't an excuse. Now it's just deciding who to buy it through. Did you use GoDaddy, by any chance? It seems like everyone uses that one, but I'm still going to poll everyone to see who they like/recommend. :) Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995732867958680921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-21838235007939578402014-05-21T20:18:29.024-07:002014-05-21T20:18:29.024-07:00Ooh, that is a great giveaway prize!

I'm definitely going to have to keep my eye out and I'm already crossing my fingers. :)<br /><br />And I've been thinking about making the switch to my own domain for awhile now. At first, I didn't really see the point, but as I've grown and "matured" in the blogging world, I feel like it's the next step for my blog and it'll make me feel more official, too. I agree in that it is much easier to type out and it's also going to be a lot better for my blog seeing as my current blogspot name has nothing to do with my current blog! Thanks for the tips! I think my biggest thing now is deciding who to choose for my host or whatever you call it. :) Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995732867958680921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858077928947631725.post-20343131721361044432014-05-21T20:18:04.088-07:002014-05-21T20:18:04.088-07:00Love this month's topic!

For me, I think it's because I'm gearing up for summer and will finally have time to get some stuff done! And I will most definitely keep you posted on my bookshelf!
