I once told myself: IF I am accepted into grad school, this blog would no longer be updated. As it turns out, in April, I received news of my acceptance for the Fall 2013 semester, where I will attain a Master's degree of Science in Nutrition.
Running a blog, as many of you may already know, is a demanding side job once the excitement wears off. And once I fell out of the blogging community's loop (have you SEEN how many blogs there are now? Wow!), it was like the kiss of death. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get into a blogging routine once this happened due to the disconnect I felt from the community.
So I took a break. I struggled with the loss and with missing my blog. And then I realized I didn't have to run Book Faery to still be a book reviewer; I could read my books and post reviews online. I'm still a book review blogger, just not in the traditional sense.
I'll still be online. You can chat with me on Twitter, where I'll be posting links to my reviews and talking books. I'll also be posting links to nutrition articles. And if you'd like to connect with me where I guarantee I will post reviews, just add me as a friend on Goodreads.
So that's all, folks! It's been a fun and amazing journey, and I thank you all for listening to my thoughts about books. I hope we all can keep in touch elsewhere :)

About the Author
I would like to think that, Yes, I would be the person who elects to go outside and explore but maybe I am not as adventurous as I think ?
ReplyDeleteI would certainly be a frightening and fascinating thing to do under the circumstances.
Thanks for the giveaway and for opening it to worldwide entries.

ReplyDeleteI wanna think of myself as a person who would explore. But I don`t know. Probably wouldn`t. Because I am so shy and scared of new things.. But I can always dream :P
ReplyDeleteI would probably stick with dreaming about what was out there :P

I think I would definitely be the one to explore the outside.
ReplyDeletebbricke at yahoo dot com
No I would be a chicken and let someone else do something risky and potentially dangerous lol
ReplyDeletejuliecookies(at)gmail.com
I don't know: we can't know can we? We have to be in the situation. I'd like to think I would, but I think I'd be anxious about doing it. I would do it if life underground was horrible, but if I enjoyed, if I was content, I may remain.
ReplyDeletealessandroconno@hotmail.com
It's easy to say that sure, I would without a doubt go outside, but I think that if life ever actually came to this I would be way to frightened to do it.
ReplyDeleteashhadans@hotmail.com
I like sunshine and being outdoors so i think I'd go exploring.
ReplyDeletesgiden at verizon.net
OMG! I'm a bit claustrophobic, I can't even imagine how it is like to live underground!*faints* So I'd probably be scared to death, but I'd still try to go out and explore the surface world!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
andreea(dot)c88(at)gmail.com
I absolutely would. Unless I had family at risk who needed me. But if it were just me, I would most definitely go.
ReplyDeleterobin [at] intensewhisper [dot] com
I would WANT to be the person that goes exploring, but have a feeling I wouldn't go. Living underground would be the norm and what I'd be used to, and going to the surface would be a big change with lots of unknowns. I'd like to think I'd be adventurous and brave enough to go, but I doubt I would be haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway, I can't wait to read this book!
green.pamd (at) gmail (dot) com
I probably wouldn't be the adventurous one, especially since I'm a mom now. Who knows what dangerous things could be lurking 'up there'?
ReplyDeleteb(dot)cardone(at)hotmail(dot)com
Honestly, no, I wouldn't go exploring. As cowardly as that is, if I had spent my entire life underground, being taught that anywhere else is dangerous, I'd definitely stay put.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't risk going near the Freaks. Noooo thank you.
skellington28210@yahoo.com
Ishh that'S a tricky question.
ReplyDeleteIf I've never seen what was outside, I'd probably long to know what's outside but I don't know if I'd have the guts to explore.
If I've been out before whatever happened then I would definitely go out because I would miss the sun!
Thanks for the giveaway =D

I would definately have to check out the outside! I've been hearing alot about this one and can't wait to read it! tWarner419@aol.com
ReplyDeleteIf I was stuck living underground I would go to the surface to explore because why wouldn't you want to explore a new place? It would be an adventure.

I'm a "bring it on"type, so if I have a chance to explore the outside, I'll do that. But I must have a strong back up, since I'm just a girl. Not that I'm meek and weak, but, hey we don't know what we will face it later, right? :)

I don't know if I would be the person who ventures outside. I probably wouldn't go first. Maybe second or third. I'm not really the adventurous type. If my whole life was spent underground, then outside would be a completely foreign concept to me.
ReplyDeleteRSHunter88 [at] gmail [dot] com
I would like to think that I would be one of those who would try to explore, but to be completely honest I am a bit of a home body. Although being trapped underground might change one's perspective.

ReplyDeleteYes! I would probably grow up believing that one day I would escape from this existence of darkness and tunnels long enough to figure out what was above us. I would be like an underground Earthanuat (instead of Astronaut). It would be amazing to be the first to step foot outside, there could even be a funny suit and a flag involved if needed.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm not that brave but I can't take boredom either. I think if there were groups that went out I would be amongst the first few. I think it would all depend on what you were told about what lies above you. I would hope I would take the challenge and go even beyond my own expectations..

That's a hard question to answer! I wouldn't want to always be underground, but it might not bother me if it was all that I knew. I guess it would depend on what was supposed to be above ground and how strongly I believed that. I think if the government was very oppressive, I would risk it.

I'm claustrophobic so the idea of living underground absolutely terrifies me. Like really. Which means that I would either stay underground forever, because never having been topside, I can't know what I'm missing, or I would have been running for the surface trying to keep myself calm and breathing long enough to get there. :)
