Back For Good (I Hope)

Hello again, everyone.

I know it's been a long time - and I wish I had a real reason to give you. The only thing I can say is off-internet life started getting in the way. I also went through a length of time where it honestly felt like I had nothing to say. Even (oh, the horror) about books.

Well, I've really missed the book blogging community since my unexpected absence. It's going to take some juggling to fit this blog into my life - as it's a lot more time consuming than I ever expected - but it's something that I really want to do so I'll try my best to make time for it.

I am wondering though, how do you make a blog work for you? Is it your primary job? I've actually got a mostly full time job, but that works only to my benefit because I don't actually have internet service at home.

Well, I just wanted to welcome myself back and let you know that I shall be doing my best to keep up with this.

There will be a few changes from the way I ran my blog before. First, and the biggest is that I have dropped out of two challenges: The Monthly Key Word challenge (as I failed to read/review any book for this in July) and The Lucky No.14 challenge (as this challenge was simply way too structured for me to complete while enjoying it). I have updated my challenges page to reflect this.

Glad to see you back at it :) I've been blogging since March of this year and yeah, it can devour all of your time! After making schedules and then failing to follow them, I recently decided to get away from that and I'm now posting when I'm able to.

Next month I'll be homeschooling one of my kids and sending the other two to public school, so I'll be juggling all of that chaos, and I'll probably only be posting once or twice a week. It will be an adjustment, but real life stuff always has to come first (well, except for laundry-that's a distant third lol).

Thanks. It's really great to be back, I've missed talking about books and connecting to other readers.

I actually spent a couple (or three) weeks in July getting a bunch of stuff ready for posting. If I post three times a week, as I'm planning, I've actually got myself scheduled out until the second week of September. I'm one of those people though that lists and plans work great for.

Good luck with your kids. I was home schooled and (while I loved it) I honestly cannot imagine how time consuming that would be. Yup, real life, sometimes unfortunately, always comes before books - though my distant third is washing dishes!
I was homeschooled myself as well, all the way from K-12 :D Yeah, I'm crazy for taking this on lol.
