In A Nutshell January 2018
In A Nutshell

In A Nutshell: January 2018

written by Megha January 31, 2018

 

Today is January 31, last day of January 2018. The first month of 2018 is over. Although I have never been able to follow up on any monthly series I started in the past, I am giving another try. So at the end of every month, I will write an “In a Nutshell” post, briefly describing my progress in whatever I did that month. 

 

In A Nutshell: January 2018

 

Last year I published one post per week. And when I was on vacation I lost out on 6 of such weekly posts. At the start of January, I decided to catch up on those 6 posts this month. 4 weekly posts from January and 6 leftover posts sum to a total of 10 posts. This post completes my 10 posts goal for January. Now I can go back to one post per week from February. Maybe I will try to go for 2 posts per week, but that’s subjective to the time I have in that week. 

 

Experiments in Kitchen

 

I set up the page Experiments in Kitchen which gives a brief introduction to what I am doing in this series and also the posts published so far. This month I published two posts:

  1. Potato Crusted Quiche
  2. Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Next post in this series will be up by the end of this week.

Books

 

I finished three books in January. 

Two audiobooks

  1. Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan
  2. The Unseen World by Liz Moore

One hardcover

  1. The Stranger by Albert Camus

 

 

I wrote my reviews on two of them: The stranger and The Unseen World. The Stranger went a bit over my head. It requires a second and a third read for me to fully comprehend what the author was trying to convey through this book. But, there was no such problem with “The Unseen World“, I totally loved it. And I enjoyed Brain on Fire. It is a very interesting and informative memoir. Hope to catch up on its review soon in February.

 

Awards

 

I was nominated for three awards this month. I wrote about two of them and will write about the third probably next week. Here are the links to those awards and the bloggers who nominated me. Thanks once again. 

  1. One Lovely Blog Award, nominated by Loretta @ LaughingListener
  2. The Sunshine Blogger Award, nominated by Meagen @ QuibblesAndScribbles
  3. The Entertainer Blogger Award, nominated by Kim @ KeepItMindful

Other Posts

 

Some other posts that I published this month which don’t fall into any of the above categories:

  1. 2018 Reading Challenges – I signed up for GoodReads Reading Challenge 2018 and 2018 AudioBook Challenge.
  2. Little Delights in 2017 – I wrote about my happy memories and achievements from 2017.
  3. Leave Me A Link and I’ll Share Your Page!! – Reblog of the post with the same title from Dray @ Dream Big, Dream Often

 

Blog Stats

 

A lot of firsts happened this month when it comes to blog stats.

  1. I reached 200 followers on WordPress. Yay! Thank you all for following, liking and commenting. 
  2. For the first time, since Delightfull Discoveries creation, I got 1000 views in a month. The highest views in a day ie 81 was on January 25, 2018. It might not be an achievement for a lot, but it is a big one for me. I mean 1000 views in a month from mere 200 a month, that’s good progress. 

 

Delightfull Discoveries App

 

For those of you who follow me, might know by now that I am working on an Android App. The app is actually based on this blog. I am updating the progress of the app on my other blog. If you like you can head over to DD Application Daily Progress, to see the updates. Since I started the development in the middle of January, I have dedicatedly worked five days on the app. But I am hoping to finish the first version by the end of February.

 

Yoga 

 

I am on Day 26 of Yoga with Adrienne’s TRUE: 30 Day Yoga Journey. I should have been on Day 28, but missed two days in between. Missing a day or two is okay, as long as I come back to it.

 

This sums up January for me. What have you been up to this January? Have you written a post like this? Leave a link to that post in the comments. I would love to read them.
