Oh yikes, this once-in-two-week blogging routine better not be a habit. I hope it's just an indication of how busy July can get with planning for a birthday and doing different summer things. Life The girl had her birthday party today with friends from school and she had a fun day! It was nice seeing the kids have fun outside of school and take over the bouncy event place like they knew every corner of it. I was grateful for everyone who were brave enough to come to a party despite recent rises in case count. Thankfully most or all of us were vaccinated so that made the decision-making easier. Now that the party is behind me, I have a ton of things to get back to. I am hoping for a quieter week ahead and a chance to catch up on a few things. Reading I honestly haven't read much in the last two weeks. Well, at least not prose. Instead, I've been reading Marvel Comics. Don't ask. So far, I've read Thor: Son of Asgard and Wolverine's Origin stories. Loved all of th
After a couple of weeks of keeping away from books, I have finally managed to get back to normal. Oh boy, I was worried how long a rut this will be (I had once gone a whole year without reading)! And then, I wondered what about this blog? If I can't write about books, then I would have had to take a step down and write about my boring life. Uh-uh!
Anyways, I am glad I can read at my old pace again and not force myself through any book. Bang on time too - I have a bunch of review books that I should get to asap, plus I have some plans for my reading and my blog, which I will unveil in a while, soon as I have the time to put the final touches to the idea. I'll just give you a hint for now. It is related to my post last week, in which I wondered about books that do not get as much spotlight as they should.

Really looking forward to the unveiling of your idea! :-)
That happened to me recently when Green Angel. After attending a funeral it was nice to read about someone in mourning.
Cat, moving on is definitely a hard thing! Will be posting about my idea soon! :)
Helen, I am so glad to be back to reading! I still have 2 more months here, will be moving in Aug-mid.
Sheila, thanks! I'm looking forward to reading more wonderful books.
Juju, that's definitely what we need right? Books that don't overdo it and make you feel worse, but do it just right so that you can look through the sadness and take the positives.
Kristen, you should really read it! It's amazing!!
Hannah, I hate it too, but thank goodness it didn't last too long!
Ash, yeah not reading for a year can be really hard. It was first year of Masters that did that to me.
When I've had a string of doozies, I will go back and re-read an old favorite that has the quality I love - that gets me excited about reading again and makes me choose my next books more carefully to suit my mood.
