In which I write about my unintended hiatus
I realized the other night that I hadn't blogged in a while. I didn't realize it had been September! I haven't really been reading but I have been listening to audiobooks and I keep meaning to review them but time has not been my friend for a long while now. I was wondering if I wanted to keep this blog going. Yes, I do. I really do. But, as I've said in the past, I don't want to feel obligated. So hopefully I'll get back to it soon. As I type this I'm thinking about writing up the Enola Holmes series. So clearly the spark to review is not gone. I'm going to get back to it. Bear with me.

Hiatus
Lately my heart has gone out of blogging. I don't know if it is the pregnancy occupying my mind or the fact that I've been busier both at work and at home or a little bit of both. But book reviewing is feeling more and more like a chore than something fun. I started this blog so I could write down my thoughts on the books I've read, but along the way I got really involved with the whole world that can go along with book blog. And I loved making the new friends I've made and reading their blogs and generally becoming more involved in this whole aspect of the book world I didn't know about until I become a blogger.
But life moves on and my family is expanding and I've taken on much more responsibility in the real world, so much that the blogging world has been pushed to the side. I feel like that isn't fair to my blog and to the readers I have left. In 2011 the amount of reviews I've published has diminished quite a bit and I really began to drop out of blogging months ago. But now I've finally decided to just go on hiatus and read a book that doesn't have to be reviewed. Is this permanent? I don't know. I really enjoyed blogging when I was into it. So maybe I'll be back. I'd like to be back. And I have a feeling I'll be posting reviews now and then. It's hard to stop someone who loves books as much as I do from talking about them. I just don't want to feel obligated. So I'll see ya'll around. Thanks for reading and I've enjoyed becoming blogging friends with you. Catch ya later.
