In the late 2000s I kept a personal mom blog called Nest Bliss. I reviewed books, wrote about the house and the girls, and was even in the Wall Street Journal. These posts are from then: light, young, a mom in her late twenties. I have edited them to stand on their own.
One thing I have been doing with my non-working life is trying to read a lot more. My long term goal is a book a week.
Which honestly I could have done just as easily when working but I never felt like I had the mental space I guess for lots of reading and opted instead for TV when the girls were in bed.
I have been working with BlogHer as a book reviewer as part of their new book club. It is pretty cool!
Most recently for BlogHer I have reviewed A Jane Austen Education - click over and check it out! I really felt like the book tied together so many things for me in regard to why Austen is so enchanting.
(thanks Pattie!) and I can't wait till he is done with it. I am dying to read The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Volume I: The Pox Party
. I walked into Barnes and Noble today and just glancing over their summer reading table mad me feel like I have been missing out on so much reading! What are you reading?
