It’s been an up-and-down start to the year. In January I adopted my new schedule of 1 post a week. Decided I liked it, as I could think more about what I was writing. In February I upped the pace for #ReadIndies and travelled around the globe via 10 books from 9 publishers, before reverting back to 1 post a week in March. Somehow I have reviewed 19 out of 20 books read. I’m quite happy with that.
The low buying plan was not quite as low as I would have liked, for I amassed a lovely TBR to take me through to the European Writer’s Festival in May. It appears, however, that the universe has other things in mind …
Illness in the family, and I need to stay put for the next few months. All spring travel plans are cancelled, and the blog is likely to go silent for a wee while. This may be madness given that I haven’t read a single word for 10 days, but my intention is to read Hans Fallada’s Wolf Among Wolves for the upcoming #1937club. A mere bagatelle at 793 pages that has been on my shelves for 14 years! Well, it’s now or never.
See you on the other side.
One post a week sounds good, to concentrate on the essentials. In this way you can more plan your writing and combine subjects. Although 19 of 20 reviews is very good. I tend to post when I post …! Not so much anymore, but, like you, I like to put a little bit of more efforts into the posts.
I am sorry to hear about the illness in the family, always difficult and sad. I hope that it will turn out in a positive way. We are always happy to read your posts whenever they come.

Sorry about the family illness and hope things will improve. And glad you plan to join us for 1937 – that’s quite a chunkster, though!!!!

50 pages a day will get me there. Hopefully I can manage that.
