Once again I sit here with the lofty goal of resurrecting this blog that I started way back in 2008. This is not my first resurrection attempt and I can’t promise it will be the last, though I am hoping I can stay more dedicated to it this time.
The following excerpt from the About Me page explains my goals for this site:
“As you can probably tell, this site is still under construction so my plans for what I want it to look like and what I intend to discuss may vary as time passes by. However, at this point I hope a major portion will remain dedicated to my love of books and reading – so I will share what I have read, what I am reading, and what I hope to read along with insights into how particular books have shaped my thinking. I hope to also share some of my own writing (poems, essays, short stories) for those of you who may be interested. And I am sure that it is inevitable that I will occasionally begin to pontificate about current events and the goings-on in the news.“
My main reason for returning to this site came about because people are always asking for something good book to delve into because they know I love to read. I feel honored that people trust my opinions and recommendations, however as I have gotten a little age on me I have more trouble recalling in the moment some of my latest reads and new favorite authors. I wanted to get back to this site to at least update my reading lists so I can direct those queries to a helpful location. I don’t guarantee that everything I have read is necessarily a good or great book. I tend to be one of those saps who finishes what they start no matter what because I feel like I would insult the author to not do so. I know, I know. They would never know the difference, but that’s just how I am. I will do my level best to begin writing book reviews again so I can better steer seekers to the reads that are more deserving. At the least, I hope to develop some sort of grading/starring system to help highlight the best of the best. Until then, feel free to just ask or message me about a particular title that sparks your interest and I’ll give you my feedback.
Hope you enjoy tagging along with me on my Reading and Writing journey and sharing aspects of your own.
