Another A to Z Blogging event has come and gone and now it's time for reflections posts. It begins tomorrow, but I'm posting mine today.
As always, it was fun reading and commenting on other participants' blogs, and seeing others comment on my posts. Some of the blogs I looked at the most this year were the following:
Laws of Gravity (which I already read regularly) was one of those who went with random blogging, fitting the letter of the day.
Mainely Write had a theme of poetry with watercolor paintings. I learned a lot of new poetry forms from this.
Balancing Act had the theme of "Songs of My Heart." Two songs she picked were the same as mine (this one wouldn't allow me to comment on the posts, however).
Tossing It Out had alliterative titles for each letter of the day.
The Sound of One Hand Typing was another who chose random blogging, the post fitting the letter of the day.
Postcards From the Bookstore allowed readers to pick the word of the day for each of the letters.
Penwasser Place had a history theme.
Multicolored Diary did women's epics.
And there are just too many others to mention!
Any blogs I missed, I hope to visit during the Road Trip that begins next week. I also plan to revisit some of the ones I read last month.
As for my theme of Novelty Songs, I got a lot of comments. There were people who knew the songs listed, and some, like me, to whom the songs were new. It was fun finding new songs during my A to Z preparations last month. I wrote and scheduled all my posts in March so I could have a little more time to visit other participants' blogs.
I really liked the graphics for this year. The host blog already has a preview of the graphics for 2026. I hope to decide on a theme early next year and get my posts done ahead of time as I did this year. Schedule-posting works great for an event like this.

You had a very fun theme! Every year I think "I should try this A-Z Challenge NEXT YEAR." Sometimes I even fantasize about the theme I might adopt. But then NEXT YEAR comes along and I never do. I should get my act together and JUST DO IT one year.
Congrats on another successful year. Yes, scheduling ahead helps out so much. It can be hard to blog daily otherwise.
Congratulations on finishing the challenge. Yay for scheduling.
Good job to all.
Very cool. Sounds like you had a good month.
This was a fun A-Z month. Thanks for sharing all those songs. I learned about a few that I didn't know existed. Happy May to you.
Thank you for your comments on my blog, Jamie. I'm glad you enjoyed the A to Z. https://suestrifles.wordpress.com/2025/05/02/a-to-z-reflections-2025/
Fun theme, and fun challenge. You introduced me to a number of songs, and planted an earworm or two. :-)
Novelty Songs was great fun and a journey back to my childhood. Kind of sad that most of them WERE a part of my childhood-I guess I am THAT old.
I confess I still have a lot of visiting to do on your posts - as always, writing mine became a monster task, I counted up 169 photos across 26 posts, but I loved your theme and in the immortal words of Arnie as the Terminator "I'll be back!"
I enjoyed checking out the songs you've picked out though I didn't know most of them. I think it's difficult to find songs with some of the letters. Congrats on finishing the a-z challenge.
Thanks for mentioning my blog. Have a lovely
I'm glad you liked the graphics! "Balancing Act" was one of my favourite blogs to visit, too.

You had a great April theme that brought back a lot of memories. I knew most of your picks, but there were some new oddities and that was fun.
Thanks for joining us again and thanks for mentioning my blog.
