Dusting Off and Gearing Up

 My goodness, it's been a while!

Looking at my last post, apparently the post vacation hangover took me out for longer than expected. Followed by me expanding my family by 2.

In the ensuing years of motherhood, my brain did not have the energy to read anything, much less review what I did have a few braincells to read. So this poor blog ended up vacant and dormant.

Now, however, my children are sleeping through the night, and old enough for me to foster a love of reading in them. So I am back to log what I'm reading and review so others can find the good, the bad, and the ugly.

While I am still an eclectic reader, and enjoy a lot of different genres, I will be including children's books as my kids and I dive into them. 

My kids at this stage are Munchie, my daughter who just turned 5 and has been reading independently for about 8 months, and Biggie, my son who just turned 2 and is just learning his letters and numbers, but is figuring out how to sit long enough to get through a board book.

Munchie's nickname comes from her having a penchant for biting while nursing when she was a baby, my Hubby thought it was hilarious, I suffered.

Biggie's nickname is due to the fact that he is a giant. He is off the growth charts that the doctors use, and is currently in 3T clothes.

I still get most of my books from my local library's online catalogue, but I've also just joined NetGalley and have been thoroughly enjoying reading and reviewing the eARC's on there. Having another place to link a review is one of the main reasons I'm getting this blog started up again.

I will be following the same reviewing pattern that I previously used, though on kid's books I'll include whatever comments I get from the kiddos because a kid's book isn't fully reviewed until a kid weighs in.

I have some catching up to do with the books that I've read this year, so expect to see a flurry of posts in the next few weeks while I get those reviews out.

Thank you for joining me on this journey, and please feel free to comment with requests or suggestions on what we should read next!
