What’s up with all these book posts?! (And some updates on my life!)
You may have noticed that I’ve been writing quite a bit about books lately. If you haven’t noticed… well… then you haven’t been reading! You may be over there wondering why this is (or simply enjoying the brilliance of my reviews). Honestly, I get on reading kicks sometimes, just like I get on writing kicks, during which I’ll read voraciously for weeks on end and finish literally tons of books. And then, suddenly, I won’t want to read anything at all for months. So, this is a reading kick. Probably brought on by the 10 minutes of silent reading I’ve been doing at the beginning of the class with each of my classes recently. Once I start a book I don’t want to stop! I promise this won’t turn into a book blog (though there will be another book post coming shortly, but that’s the reading guide for the Chifems Book Club book! You should come this month!!) and I’ll probably be back to writing hilarious and heartwarming stories about my marriage within a few weeks.
But, truthfully, nothing has really been going on in my marriage lately that has been blog-worthy. We went to Michigan the other weekend, spent some quality time together, came home, and things have just been… nice. I think we’re finally finding that groove they say you eventually get into as a couple. I’m sure that will change in time, and we’ll have some adjusting and figuring-things-out to do sometime in the near future. But, for now, things are just good in that department. And I’m happy.
I’m working on finding a new groove with my job at the moment, though I don’t feel comfortable talking about that on here just yet.
But I can finally announce that I’m one of the new Senior Editors at Gender Across Borders! I’ll be writing a few columns a month there as well as working with contributing writers and taking on other, editorly, duties. Don’t worry, Small Strokes fans. This blog won’t be going anywhere! I won’t be blogging about relationships over there like I do here, so I’m keeping this blog and just spreading my horizons a bit. Horray!
And that, friends, is a brief update on my life. And now, I’m going back to reading. 🙂
