Sunday Ramblings: The Return of the Delinquent blogger

Hi, Internet,

As you can tell by my lack of postings on this blog, I’ve suffered a bit of blogger ennui lately. It’s not that I haven’t been reading, but much of what I’ve been reading isn’t really worth talking about. I even tried writing up a massive post o’ mini reviews, and I just don’t have a lot to say about a lot of the stuff I’ve read lately, especially since a lot of it has been creative nonfiction and humor collections, which I find difficult to review, because you either think the humor/creative exercise works or you don’t, and I haven’t figured out a way to say things about those books in a way that is compelling to read.

That being said, there are a few reviews I want to post, and I hope once I get into a posting habit again, I will do better about keeping up with them.

So I hope I have not lost all my readers. And I hope you all are reading books about which you are enthusiastic!
In less bookish news, my nephew, Logan Charles, was born this morning. I have already been blessed with one niece, who is an adorable four-year-old, but it’s always nice to have another addition to the family. He weighs in at 9 pounds, 3 oz. nd is 20.5 inches long. His Auntie Shannon envisions a promising career as a linebacker already. Baby and mother are still in the hospital, and my brother and mother and niece are going to visit them in New Mexico this week. I would have gone as well, but though I’m sure my nephew is the bestest baby evar, I suspect my college professors might not consider his birth a terribly good excuse for missing a week of class, so instead I will be here, glued to my phone in hopes of news.
