I’ve always had the goals to make reoccurring posts on Mad Cat Quilts. I love to visit my favorite blogs each week or mouth and see my favorite posts. Lately, I’ve been loving checking out the weekly cocktails section of The Guardian and TBR games on BookTube (Alicia Reads has my favorite).
What are some of your favorite columns in your favorite blogs?
In 2016, I started looking back and seeing what of these posts I used regularly and making a list. This is for my own memory, mostly, but you may want to take a look back, too! Here are my regular series from 2020:
There are several series that are more usually updated, monthly and/or weekly:
Month in Review - A review of each month and my favorite instagrams for that month.

Several of these columns have not gotten too much love this year. Do you have a favorite feature on Mad Cat Quits?
Every year one of my goals is to be a better blogger. I hope that by creating columns and focus for my blog I will eventually achieve this to my satisfaction. I love to create this post each year to be able to look back and see my progress.
