Hello Again! Plus: New Blog Coming!


Oh, life.

What an interesting, unexpected, sudden thing it is. Both beautiful and jarring, it happens out of nowhere sometimes.

I am sorry I have been so very, very absent. Not only did my time to write shrivel up for a long time, but my reading has been minimal.

How dare I, right? Yet, entering my 30s has been eye-opening. We, as responsible adults with families and friends, have so many more things dividing our time and attention that books and reading do tend to become a casualty. I have come to make peace that I will likely never read quite as much as I once was able to – at least until I retire, that is.

However! I am devoted to getting back in the game a bit again. Currently I am reading THREE books: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (you aren’t surprised, don’t pretend like you are); Tank Girl One (omg my boyfriend showed me the 90s movie with Lori Petty and I couldn’t NOT seek out the original comics); and Monster Hunter International (an urban fantasy action novel, first of a SUPER LONG series, which I am very entertained by so far.)

So, yeah. My reading habits have drastically changed, but so has life. This is the blog of a teen book reviewer and a bibliophilic 20-something.

But guess what?

Totes gonna start posting reviews again. Obviously of the books I am reading right now, as well as a couple exciting titles that peaked my interest that are not yet released:

Red Sister by Mark Lawrence (mass market paperback version)
and
Evangeline of the Bayou by Jan Eldredge

I cannot promise reviews to be weekly. Life doesn’t really allow for that anymore.

But I will post them as often as I finish books and have a chance to write a review. And it going to be on a NEW blog!!! I am older, life is different and I think that my blog should reflect that – and be more relatable to all the other bibliophiles who have found their reading interrupted by the beauty of life, love and family – we aren’t teenagers reading between homework assignments anymore.

As soon as I get it up, I will cross reference it to the Bibliophile Support Group. Bibliophile Support Group is not going anywhere – it will stay right here and retain the hundreds of reviews and guest posts and interviews it has spotlighted over TEN YEARS of book loving and reviewing.

I will be back with more news, once I have it!!

First Step: Admit You Have a Problem

Hi fellow Bibliophiles! I have been rather neglectful to this blog... instead continuing to stay buried in a book as I have during the holidays. I'm hopeful that most of you have been doing this too and can easily accept my apology. Have I been reading? Um, yeah! (Translation: duh.) Just haven't been able to pull myself away long enough to actually WRITE about what I'm reading. Lol. But that's me, a bibliophile, an addict, an addict who's fallen off the wagon and fully embraced her love of reading - especially with all this free time to do so!!! I've also been watching awesome holiday movies, eating yummy, but bad-for-me, food and hanging out with the people I love best! You too? I hope! ;) Anyway, I will return with a new book review next week, most likely on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for your patience and keep reading!!!

Author Q & A - Jan Eldredge Stops By!

Next Wednesday y'all will be getting my oh-so-humble opinion of Evangeline of the Bayou , the Summer 2018 Kids' Indie Next List selection! (That means it was picked via booksellers at independent bookstores countrywide.) Until then, I have a Q&A with the Louisiana born and raised author herself: Jan Eldredge! (Don't forget to come back next week for my review!!) A Conversation with JAN ELDRIDGE Author of Evangeline of the Bayou 1) The glossary in the back of the book is so helpful! Where did you learn about all these creatures? Which creature from the book is your favorite? I have a small, but growing, collection of books about mythical creatures around the world. If I couldn’t find what I was looking for there, I researched library books, online websites, and the occasional documentary. Something that really surprised me as I started learning more about mythical monsters was the number of different cultures that share very similar ...
