I found yet another book meme. Considering I have another Book Club meeting coming up, the timing is right. The blog owner requested I not link to where I found the meme, but I’m sure some of you have seen this list out there. So without further ado…

Hi all!

I know– yet another long silence between posts. While I do reserve the right to blog when I can, I know I have a habit of going for long stretches between posts. I apologize.

I was recently out of town, and so I was unable (and unwilling!) to post at all. Since I’ve returned, I’ve been engaged in an all-too-familiar pursuit, which I will describe a bit more fully in an upcoming post.

To be fair to you, I think in the future when I know I’ll be going for a while without posting, perhaps I’ll put up a small notice saying I’m out for the time being– or maybe not…? What’s your preference?

Quite a bit has been going on in the world since I last posted. Some I might touch on, but for the most part, I’m going to forge ahead. In the meantime, happy Autumn to each and every one of you!
