Still Here. A Brief Life Update.

Yes, I am still here. It’s been ages since I last posted or logged into the blog. Thanks to my friend Kimberly at The Windy Pages for letting me know that it was down last week. Not sure how long that was going on but, after a couple of chats with my web host, they were able to fix the issue.

So I just wanted to pop in to say hi and hopefully I’ll be posting something more in depth soon. Last year was a bit of whirlwind. Near the end of the year I lost one of my best friends very unexpectedly. Their illness was very sudden and then they passed away. It was very stressful to say the least and my motivation to read or do much of anything else was affected.

When my site was down, I thought to myself, maybe it’s time to pack up the blog. Blogs (especially bookish blogs) have been out of style for years now but I have kept it up (pretty poorly) mainly for me and a few of my friends. When I thought that maybe my site wasn’t coming back, part of me felt a little relief but also sadness. After thinking about it for a little while, I decided that I don’t want it to end just yet and so pursued a solution to get the site back up. I can’t promise that I’ll be posting a lot but, for now, I want to keep the blog going in some capacity.

I am doing a little unofficial read-a-long with Kimberly from The Windy Pages. She wants to focus on reading physical books for awhile and I told her I would join her. Her goal is 5 physical books a month. I read a lot slower than her so I think my goal will be 3 physical books a month. We will see how it goes but if anyone wants to join us, please do.

That’s my small update for today. I’ll try to be back soon with review and more!
