With September right around the corner, this post marks the one year anniversary of my book blog. The best part of this for me has been the new releases, I mean, who can resist tracking down upcoming books? I learned quite a few things about writing reviews, which has given me even more appreciation for reading. Sadly, I've also learned that at the moment I do not have sufficient time and motivation to continue this blog. I had several problems this past summer making regular posts thanks to flooding and traveling. Also, my personal time has become more limited as I seek new employment. Another problem however is motivation and I find that I have not felt compelled to review every single book that I now complete. I have decided that a break from this blog will serve me well and perhaps in the near future I can return with a fresh start. I think it is entirely appropriate to end the current incarnation of this blog in the same way I started it: with a new releases list. As always, have fun reading!
