Welcome to the brand new Queen of Contemporary!
I’m really excited to be launching the brand new site officially today, and this is the first post.
I’ve worked out a whole new schedule which I’m really excited to share. I’ve worked it so that I can do more memes like Waiting on Wednesday and Top Ten Tuesday, because I’ve always wanted to join in with both.
The schedule is as follows:
WEEK ONE
Monday: Review
Wednesday: Waiting on Wednesday/Discussion
Friday: Review/Featured on Friday
Sunday: Letterbox Love
WEEK TWO
Tuesday: Top Ten Tuesday/Discussion
Thursday: Review
Saturday: Embracing My Inner Geek/Review/Discussion
Sunday: Letterbox Love
As you can see, it will be on a fortnightly cycle and I’m hoping that this will excite things for me, and for viewers too. Sometimes I don’t like posting the same things week after week, and I’m sure you don’t like reading the same things either.
Thank you for sticking by Queen of Contemporary. I’m still busy working behind the scenes and have really appreciated your support so far.
