What happened????

Hello…

Remember me?

I’m that person who used to read lots and lots of books and then would write reviews about them which were hopefully interesting and intelligent, always personal, and generally timely…i.e. shortly after I finished the book.

And then…I vanished.

I have had to apologise on my other blogs as well. Over the summer, things just got away from me – life and work in particular. I just didn’t have time to review every book I read, and the longer the backlog grew, the harder it was for me to come back to the blog.

So, I called a moratorium, and gave myself permission to forget the 10 or 15 or 20 books I have read since I last reviewed (I can’t even remember how many it is now, that’s how bad it got) and to start again afresh. The shame of it is that I started this blog as a diary mainly for myself of what I had read. By putting too much pressure on myself, I lost track of that list and my personal diary became a personal millstone.

So, I am picking back up and getting on with it. I am still reading and as a result I should still be writing.

So here I am again. I missed you.
