Britt Bravo's Links: Contests, Reading Challenges, Carnivals
Britt Bravo is a little more than half as old as I am and twice as smart. So she’s perfect as a consultant. You can find her online in many places, but here is her website.
When we spent an hour together on the phone recently, she sent me a list of links, many of which I had never heard of before.
Have you ever entered a reading challenge or carnival? See the links below.

In the interest of spreading the love, I offer these links to you and ask that you add your favorites in the comments section. Tell us your experiences with any of them. Bloggers, send me your own links, and I will add them.
Thank you, thank you and thank you. I am grateful for all this helpful information and shall mention your post on my blog tomorrow, together with my vacation plans. I've been thinking about a blog carnival for a while and am still figuring out the Twitter# groups, so you gave me some useful new blogs to visit. You are helping all of us and I thank you for that.
Have you decided what carnival or reading challenge you are going to join?
@Sonia. So glad to share the wealth from Britt.@Britt. No! I am up to my eyeballs in extra writing assignments right now and can barely keep up with 2 posts/week and commenting on other blogs as much as possible. Tonight I am working on a poem for my friend's college president inauguration. Tomorrow I have to finish a strategic plan at work, and we are doing a toast poem for Anthony and Chelsea's wedding. Carnivals sound great, but they will have to wait.
P. S. to Britt. One reason I decided to share these links, however, is that the blog is actually one of my better organizing strategies. By using tags and categories, I can always come find the carnival references when I am able to explore them.
