I think you're doing wonderful changes here, and it's always nice to interact with people on all forms of social media.

Posting takes a lot of energy and focus for me, so it can be tough enough to even churn out content about the books I've been reading. (I'm completely petless these days, but when I get pets again there will definitely be photos!)3goodratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352969901692029558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-78104620501632320362014-11-21T14:34:21.148+00:002014-11-21T14:34:21.148+00:00Thanks Lindsey.

I stick to books, though I have tried to include more posts recently that are book-related but not reviews. It's a lot of pressure to have reviews every week! I still read a ton, but I just spent two months reading War and Peace so it was nice to find some other things to post about since I had so few books to review.

I was like you at first--I never shared anything personal, even my first name. I slowly began sharing more about myself, but I always remember my students (I teach college students, which is so different!) and my colleagues may read my blog, so I'm careful what I share.

I am struggling with what I want to do with my own blog and am not yet sure what I will end up doing.

There is always an opportunity to change the concept of a blog but I refrain to share private information with the world. In the end, I find books are my only strong point. So I'll keep on because I'd miss blogging I realize very much!<br />Enjoy that beautiful baby boy!<br />God bless,Noelle the dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805639450753772211noreply@blogger.com
