Please Tell Me

By

I love to blog. It’s one of my favorite pastimes. But, I’ve felt a little blogged out lately because sometimes I feel like it’s just too much work to keep up with the book blogging world. Don’t get me wrong, I love book bloggers and blogging about books. I miss, however, blogging just to blog, blogging about anything that suits my fancy. I also feel like with my crazy schedule that I don’t post enough interesting posts about books because I just don’t have the time to devote to reading like I’d like to.

For the last few months, I’ve been contemplating whether to turn my blog back into a personal one. I’d still post bookish posts (reviews, author events, etc.), but I wouldn’t post about that exclusively anymore.

If I did this, would you still read my blog? Please answer the poll in the sidebar. If you have more to say than the poll options allow, please leave a comment on this post. Thanks!

Update: Poll closed.

A New Addition

By

I’ve decided to start doing movie reviews. My husband and I love to watch movies and it’d be fun to talk about them as well as books. For now, I’m only going to review the ones I see in the theater. I’ve created an index for my movie reviews just as I did for my book reviews. Hopefully, that’ll make it easier to browse.

Getting Healthy

By

I’ve just started a second blog called Getting Healthy. (It only has two posts so far.) I decided to create this blog because I need to make some major changes in my life. By focusing on my overall health–emotional, physical, and spiritual–I hope my life will improve. I’ve finally decided to start following my blog motto: “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” JK Rowling is a wise woman and I need to do exactly that–live rather than just survive!

This blog is mostly for me to document my progress and remember the things that have inspired and helped me become healthier. But, I hope it can help anyone else who may be feeling or going through the same things I am.

Check it out if you’d like to follow my progress.

Update: I have combined the blogs together. So, now all the posts that were on my Getting Healthy blog are on this blog.

Recent Changes

By

This may be old news to some, but for those of you who don’t know yet, in March 2012 Google will be disconnecting Google Friend Connect (GFC) from all non-Blogger blogs (e.g. WordPress, LiveJournal, Joomla). Here’s a link to the article if you’d like to read it.

Unfortunately, my blog falls into the category of non-Blogger blogs and will be affected by this change. Instead of dealing with the ramifications of this change when it happens, I’ve decided to be proactive to hopefully minimize loss of readership, work out the kinks, and help you during the transition.
