I hope your life desists from throwing bad things at you! At least for a while, so you can recover.

I’ve discovered that I have the easiest time writing blog posts on my iPad on the bus ride home. I don’t know why this should be — unless it’s to do with me just knowing that the bus ride is a stretch of time in which I can’t accomplish anything other than reading and writing — but I’ve gotten reviews written on the bus that I haven’t been able to get a single word written on my home computer.

Oh I understand the struggle with blogging — I have a ton of books I’ve read but haven’t written about because I just don’t have anything insightful to say. Sigh.

Poor summer. Always getting the short shrifted. I love summer and since I live in a climate where the summer weather holds on until October, I am not so ready to bid it goodbye.

I just started watching the second season of Orphan Black–oh, how I love that show!

Fifteen books in one month is jaw drop worthy for someone like me who is lucky to read 5 or 6 books a month. Way to go! My review writing has suffered lately too. I’m really struggling. I don’t know if it’s me or the books though. Maybe if I read something that blew my socks off, I’d be more motivated.

I hope you have a great time on your trip!

I’ve been going through a lot of similar things with regards to blogging. I haven’t given it up yet, but the thought crosses my mind – frequently…

Enjoy your trip to Pisa and Florence – I’m so jealous!!

Our hottest weather of the year has hit us these last few weeks so it doesn’t feel like summer is over here. It sounds like things will be looking up for you soon!

“My life has been excellent at throwing bad things at me as soon as I think everything is okay” *hugs* I know the feeling. Here’s hoping the respite lasts and things continue to look up.

And I hear you about the blogging struggles too. I’m actually going through a good phase at the moment, but I’ve lost count of how many bad periods I’ve hit this year alone. But I guess it’s helped me to tell myself I don’t actually need to make an irrevocable decision. I do love books and writing about them, so it’s okay to hit periods of silence and just ride them out until the words come more easily again. Blogging sporadically doesn’t need to be half-hearted – sometimes it’s what’s right for our lives, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
