Roaring Back to Reading

So here we go! The blog is fully back. Or I'm hoping it is. We'll see won't we? I took a year off in an attempt to quell the chaos that my life had become. Well, I don't know how things are going for you but that didn't work out so well. I was so excited for the start of this decade, the twenties are back people! But I didn't want it to start with a pandemic like it did a hundred years ago. Just goes to show that everything has a price apparently. The pandemic had me thinking I'd scrap my return, just continue to hide out in my house grumbling about people not wearing masks or social distancing, but then I realized that now IS the time to come back. Everyone needs an escape right now and everyone needs a community to belong to, and books set in another time are a perfect panacea, and my friends, my online community, YOU are what is keeping me sane. So it's time to get Roaring Back to Reading! To delve into the decade of decadence. The Roaring Twenties, where authors became stars and were fodder for gossip columnists! I'll be talking about several celebrity authors, some, like Scott and Zelda, who embodied the zeitgeist far more than say Virginia Woolf or Agatha Christie, who were still very influential. I'll be looking at the books, the adaptations, the stories of their lives, and I hope you'll join me. What else do you have on the books?

A Hiatus Happening

So what is A Hiatus Happening, it means a hiatus is literally happening... I'm taking a little break from blogging. And by little I mean I'll be back next June. I promise! I already have theme months planned! As you curse and gnash your teeth over the semantics that a "little break" shouldn't be as long as a year, consider this blog is ten, so I'm only taking like a ten percent break... I've kept this blog going for ten years with all the upheavals life has thrown at me and I thought, what with more life changes on the way, taking a step back for awhile would be the best for my sanity and my sleep schedule. Plus I kind of want to dive into whatever book I feel like without regard to any schedule and read new books right when they come out, which my blog prevents me from doing as often as I'd like. But this doesn't mean my blog is disappearing into the ether, in fact I'll technically still be blogging... I'll still be doing my "Tuesday Tomorrow" posts, as well as reviews of new books by favorite authors, there's a new Lauren Willig and Lisa Lutz coming out this year after all! And I can't skip January's best reads of 2019... So it's kind of like the blog is going on the back burner to simmer to only come back sweeter next year. I will still be on social media discussing books on Twitter and Goodreads, with Instragam being fifty-fifty with regards to the book/food ratio. So feel free to keep in touch. Until next year!
