Wow, I've been in a blogging blackout for quite a bit. Honestly, it feels extremely unmooring being out of it for this long. The good news is, I have a few posts planned out and am hoping to spend some time today and tomorrow trying to get caught up. At least that's the plan, we'll see what tries to come in the way of that. Renovation updates Not a whole lot to report here. The work in the kitchen had to be paused while we wait for new island cabinets and granite to come along. I am hoping for some progress on the granite this week - if that happens, we will be able to start using everything except the island and that will be a huge win for me. At this point, I am trying to get the house as ready as it can be before my parents travel from India. It will be extremely tight. Most of the recent work has been in the master bathroom. It's coming along nicely, albeit a little slower than we hoped. Life We were expecting to have visitors over the Thanksgiving week as our ren
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.
