It seems like it's been forever since I've posted one of these, but really, the last one was in December so it hasn't been that long. Last time I posted I promised some giveaways to celebrate my three year anniversary blogging, and rest assured I still want to do something, even as it gets later and later. There will be three giveaways, but please don't expect to see anymore information posted for a while yet. As you may have noticed I've been pretty silent on the blog until recently and that's the way things have to be right now.
It hasn't been stress, exactly, that I've let keep me from reading and blogging, it's that I've been away from home. I'm currently living in London and studying here and my time has been taken up by exploring, meeting people, and taking classes. February was a good month for reading, though, because for the first time I feel as if I've mastered the balance of school and pleasure and things have been going really well on that front. I've also put almost no pressure on myself to blog. For the time being I'm tackling blogging the way I used to: after I read a book, if I have things to say about it, I write the review and post it then and there. I don't let it sit until the time is right to publish the post. I don't worry about scheduling. I don't worry about being professional. I worry about having fun and enjoying this hobby. And things are looking up because of all of this.
