Today we are supposed to talk about our goals for our blog, to say what we like best about it, and to explain where would we like our blog to be one year from now. Given how there seem to be a plethora of Blogging Agendas and Manifesto posts popping up across blogland, we’ve decided to make our own for BBAW with today’s blogging prompt in mind.
Behold,
The Book Smugglers’ Blogging Agenda
Blogging Agenda the First: Take over the world.
Blogging Agenda the Second: To accomplish Article the First by suckering in readers via excessively long, in-depth reviews and promotional materials, and then by planting secret Book Smuggler brainwashing deathrays within aforementioned reviews and materials such that any and all readers will become addicted to books and will start obsessively buying ungodly amounts books, thereby creating an unparalleled tsunami of publishing revenue and thus reviving the World Economy by way of book-reading and book-buying, finally bringing the world to worship us as The Book Smugglers: The Glorious Duo Who Saved The World By Blogging About The Books They Loved.
Presto Manifesto.
(Ok, seriously, we review and blog because we love it and we will keep on doing so for as long as we can. That’s our goal. No other agenda. Not really.)

This explains:
#1 Why I visit your site so frequently.
#2 Explains why I drive to the library so often.
#3 Establishes a reason for my finger reflex,
it repetitiously presses the (buy this book)
button on my Kindle. 😈
#4 Why I feel the compulsion to stop at B&N &
buy,buy,buy!
Request: That BW Deathrays not be removed ever,
I’m having too much fun.
Happy Blogger Appreciation Week!
