My lovely followers,
If ever I had any of you, you must all be gone by now. I haven't posted a single thing since around Christmas! I'm quite sorry about that. I'm not sure why that is. It was my New Years resolution of 2013 to write book reviews and it seems that as soon as it switched to 2014, the book reviewing spirit was taken right out of me! However, I am going to do my best to revive it--for several reasons (in no particular order):
1. It quite enjoy looking at my library page and seeing all the books listed there (is that odd?)
2. I want to have something for my followers (if there are any) to actually read
3. It's a nice discipline thing. I tend to not be very disciplined (I'm rather proud of myself that I kept it up for a whole year)
4. I quite enjoy contemplating books after I've read them and figuring out what I liked and didn't like. It's fun.
5. I like writing them! (So why on earth have I stopped? Well, because I'm a dingbat).
However, in case you were wondering, I have come up with another book related New Years Resolution (which perhaps I should amend to include book reviews again). I am again doing the reading challenge on Goodreads (once again it's set to 50 books--I may have surpassed that last year, but I rightly or wrongly anticipated less free time this year [https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/1914-2014-reading-challenge]). I have also joined up on Savvy Reader for another 50 book pledge (http://www.50bookpledge.ca/user/32369940r), and am completing two Reading Bingos from Random House Canada (http://www.retreatbyrandomhouse.ca/2014/01/reading-bingo-challenge-2014/). I especially enjoy the Bingos. They are really neat! What a great idea. Kudos Random House!
I have read nine or ten books that I haven't reviewed. And, to be honest, they may or may not end up getting reviewed. But from here on out at least, I will revive my reviews. Right now I am reading Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon. You should see a review from that in 1-2 weeks (it's a long one)!
Over and out
Live long and prosper
Ten Four
Cheers
May the Force be with you
Etc etc.
