I think it is quite obvious that I have abandonded this blog over the past few years. I would like to revitalize it rather than let it sink into the dregs of the intertubes. As Twitter became more popular, I became less and less likely to post here. However, the main reason the posts here have dwindled is that book blogging is no longer a “fun” pursuit for me. My work involves quite a bit of writing about books so, even though I enjoy this writing, I don’t want to go home and do it in my limited free time. So, while I plan to post about books that I find extremely notable, I am discontinuing the reviews of every book I read. For that, you can visit my Goodreads page.
The focus of this blog (as much as there has ever been one) will change just a bit. Rather than being a book blog where I occasionally post about other things, it will become a lifestyle blog, for lack of a better word. I plan to blog about my life and being a new mom, but I don’t want this to just be a mommy blog anymore than I want to just be a mommy. So stay tuned, I plan to actually use this space!
I was tempted to start fresh with a whole new site, but I think I’ll stay here in my old home and make some renovations. I’m going to start small and try to post twice a week.
And now for a random picture of BabyFab:
I love this layout! I almost used it
I feel the same way about blogging every book review–sometimes I don’t really want to talk much about a book, mainly if I didn’t enjoy it much or felt neutral about it. I just don’t have much to say about certain reads and I think it’s more worthwhile to blog about the ones that you either really loved or really loathed, hehe.
BabyFab is getting so big! OMG too cute.
Thanks! It got to feel too much like work writing reviews of every book I read so hopefully letting that go will help me to keep it up.
Good deal! Please don’t get into the mommyblog-wars. I have a friend that used to have a great blog that’s been sucked into that.
I don’t even know what the mommyblog-wars are! I’m pretty sure I don’t want to participate.
I love blogs about life! Yay!
Welcome back! I blog more now at my realme WP but I still sign in every few days (like it has been 3 days) and I’m happy to see you! And BabyFab is well, fab–of course!
