Cross-posted, but not really

Hello dear readers,

I've been quiet for quite a long time as I spent a few years after graduating college in 2018 not-reading, except to skim through cookbooks and look at the photos. That said, I never really let go of the book world. I still spent the last five years buying books and adding to my TBR (to-be-read) list, subscribing to Libro.fm audiobooks and generally maxing out my Los Angeles Public Library digital loans and holds (often on magazines, but I made earnest attempts to get back to a reading kind of life. I've also continued to volunteer for organizations geared towards encouraging the creation and consumption of literature.

Right now I feel like I have achieved that return to reading, finishing at least a book a week (mostly audiobooks, but I've managed some in text format too! both are totally valid forms of reading).

Anyway, the logical next step was to start blogging again, and I said as much on readnowsleeplater.com. As usual, I'll be posting adult books and life miscellany over there, and book reviews for children up to young adults here.

As I wrote over there: "I'm not quite up to accepting titles for review. I'm just reviewing things I own or that I have borrowed from the library. We'll see how it goes in the next few months; I might change my mind about that."

I'd appreciate any words of encouragement in the comments, especially since I'm not even sure anyone reads blogs any more.

If you're reading this, thank you for that, and I hope you'll be back to read more.

Cheers,

Alethea
