That's all, folks!

3/20/13

For the past year, I have been struggling with both my new passion in nutrition and with attempts to rekindle my old passion in book reviewing. I still love these books and genres, but after three years, reading transformed from a hobby to a job that stressed me out. It didn't help that the community changed and I fell out of the loop.

I will still maintain my twitter account. If you want to chat with me, or if you want to talk books (because let's face it, I'll never STOP reading!), then feel free to follow me on there if you haven't already. Let's tweet!

I thank everyone who has supported me and this blog over the years. Specifically: Alice, Amanda, Book Dragon, and Binah for guest reviewing.

For those of you who are still interested in my thoughts regarding books, I WILL be keeping my GoodReads account active. I will be updating that. So I guess you can say I'm not completely gone :)

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 :)

Hey Everyone!

Long time no update!

I apologize for literally dropping off the face of the blogging universe. I'm especially sorry for not giving a heads up beforehand, and for not responding to any emails you may have sent me. A few of you who don't use Twitter (which I am still haunting) were asking if I was okay, and I am so touched!

Things have been a bit hectic over at my end. In June I took a 3 week Nutrition course in NYC, while also taking an online A&P course. Suffice to say, I was eating and breathing these courses. Then in the last week of June, I had to juggle the finish of these two courses with the start of Organic Chemistry at my local community college. I am about halfway through Orgo, and I am also self-studying/teaching myself Food Science in preparation for a challenge exam at the end of the month. If I pass it, I don't have to take a food science course.

SO with that said, I have had zero time to read anything aside from the textbooks for these courses. I will be done with both courses by the end of the month, which means I will be able to start reading books again! I seriously cannot wait.

The hiatus, however, will be in effect until I return from the AAD convention--so about mid-August. I may extend this hiatus until September (and if I do, it will only apply to book reviews on my end; if you are an author and want a spotlight on the blog, I will still host you!), depending on how my studying for the GRE exam goes. Those few extra weeks in August will give me time to catch up on some books, write a few reviews, and set up upcoming author visits and giveaways.

I hope you all have been doing well, otherwise. I miss updating this blog and interacting with you guys, and I can't wait to finally put some much needed focus on the Book Faery blog after a few months of neglect.
