I’m thinking about doing a read-along in which I post my thoughts about a book as I read it (not one where you’d read the book along with me unless you want to). If I were to do that, which book would interest you more? See the poll in my sidebar.

Please Tell Me

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!

A Possible Change
By
I really like my blog the way it is, and I guess this is all that matters. However, I thought I’d get my readers’ opinion on the content of my blog. I’ve read a few things here and there that say that blogs do better (i.e. more readership) when it focuses on one topic rather than a smörgåsbord of topics. I’ve been thinking about creating a separate blog for my book reviews and leaving this blog for updates on my doings with Corey, family, friends, school, hobbies (other than reading), etc. What do you think? Do you think I should create a separate blog for book reviews? Or, do you like the one-stop shopping experience?

Another Change

It’s that time again. Time to redo my blog theme, I mean. I was going to do a “fall” theme, but then I decided to do something for Halloween instead. Halloween’s one of my favorite holidays and I love vintage decorations, so this theme works perfectly! Of course, having a Halloween-themed blog means I’ll be changing my blog’s look again in another month, but that’s okay because I think this is a lot of fun!
Speaking of Halloween, how do you celebrate? Do you feel like you have to celebrate Halloween because of your kids? Or, do you like the holiday all on your own? What are your plans for dressing up this year? I’m toying between a few ideas. I’ve always wanted to make a costume out of cardboard because you can get very creative and it’s very cost-effective. At this point, it kind of depends on what my team does at work. Whatever I decide, I’ll be sure to post a picture.
Here are some of my costumes from previous years. At work, I won scariest costume the year I dressed up as a vampire. I used to love my vampire costume because I have fangs that cap onto my canines. But, even though vampire lore has been the same for hundreds of years, my view of vampires has changed because of one little book. … Okay, it’s really four books. Now, vampires don’t have fangs; they just have really sharp teeth. Maybe, I can reuse my fangs for a cat costume or something.
I’ve realized a couple of things as I look at these pictures. One, I used to be a big dork when I took pictures because I always stuck my tongue out. I’m not sure why I did. Two, I need to get a new scanner. My current scanner’s too old to work with my Mac, so I had to take a picture of my picture of me as Bubbles and it didn’t turn out too well. Oh well, at least you get the idea.

Another Year
By
Today marks the second birthday of my blog. I can’t believe another year has gone by. And, I can’t believe I’ve had enough things to say to keep my blog going for a full two years.
I absolutely love to blog. It’s so much fun to write about things I enjoy doing or things that pique my interest. It’s such a departure from the boring world of technical writing. I don’t think there’s any aspect of blogging that I don’t like nor do I think I’ll ever get tired of it.
I’m also amazed at how many people read my blog. I don’t think I’m that interesting, but I guess I am if I’m getting so many readers. I’m amazed at how many people have stuck with me throughout the entire two years and how many newcomers I have too.
I want to thank those of you that comment often. It means a lot to me. It’s true I write my blog for me, but it’s always nice to receive feedback and encouragement from family and friends. It helps me know that what I’m writing about is of interest to someone else. And, to be frank, I feel loved because I know you’re taking time out of your busy schedule to be an active part of my life and letting me know how you feel rather than just passively reading about the things going on in my life. Thank you!
I thought it might be interesting to do a poll about my blog content. I want to know what you’re interested in reading about.
