Summer 2012 Hiatus Update
I'm back from New Orleans and absolutely loving the much-needed break from any sort of responsibility grad-school-wise. I got an A in organic chemistry and also passed the food science self study exam I took, which I am thrilled about. Thank you for the comments and emails of support!! :D
I wanted to give a quick update for all those who are following, so as not to leave anyone in the dark:
Book Faery will continue to be on a hiatus until September. At that point, I will begin to post book reviews and will also be hosting authors again on the blog. There are a few scheduled already, I am super excited for them to stop by! I will also be hosting a few giveaways with some AAD goodies that I wanted to share with you all.
I think the remainder of August will be important for me to get back into the swing of things, and to also not feel pressured to constantly update as I scramble to read books. That's the worst feeling ever, and I would prefer getting some posts scheduled beforehand so that I have more time to focus on reading and reviewing. I think over the years, it's pretty easy to lose focus on what this blog is about, and since I am back, I want to start offering quality content again.
If you have sent me any sort of email within the past few months, I will be responding to your interview/review requests within the next few days. I apologize for the delay in responding.

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.
