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!!

Evangeline of the Bayou

Evangeline of the Bayou is an urban fantasy middle grade novel written by Jan Eldredge and illustrated by Joseph Kueffler. You may have noticed that just last week I posted a Q&A with the author! There is no doubt that twelve-year-old Evangeline will become an amazing haunt huntress – not with a lineage like hers. Not only was her mother a force to be reckoned with, but Evangeline lives with her grandmother – a daily opportunity to hone her skills. And she’ll definitely get her animal familiar soon. Definitely. It will be better than some unruly cat named Fader. Dang cat. Perhaps her time will be now – now that she and her grandmother have been called to New Orleans to investigate a strange case bursting with secrets to be unearthed. Yeah. She’ll definitely be returning to her bayou a true haunt huntress… This is a fun one. There was one particular line that was so delightful that I made a special note to call out in my review: “…its spiri...
