Whoa. Two months. TWO MONTHS.
That is how long is has been since I have posted anything on my blog! It is amazing how fast time flies by when you are busy. However, I’m Back!! No more
slacking off. Life is back into a normal
routine and I have managed to find a good balance. Which means I can make time for my book
blogging hobby again! Yay! I know it is in the middle of January now, but I wanted to share some year-end updates.
How many books did I read last year?!
I read in 155 books in 2011!! That is a crazy amount of books. This year, I don't think I will be getting as much reading in since the hubs has graduated and we are able to spend more time together in the evenings, as well as, my new addiction of pinterest has me making homemade EVERYTHING. My goal for 2012 is to read 75
books.
How did I do on last year's challenges?!

Welcome back! I totally understand having to balance everything out. I run my own pet grooming business and I also work as a manager at an independent bookstore in my city. So time management has become a BIG thing for me.
I can't wait for your future posts!
I just checked your blog a few days ago wondering where you had gone! So happy you're back =). Excited to start reading your reviews again!
Thanks guys! I am glad to be back. It is crazy how much time can pass by and I feel so out of the blogging world. I am ready to jump back in!! Expect lots of posts very soon! :)
