Phew, it’s been a long time since I last sat down to type out my thoughts on a book. Almost ten years, actually!
In that time, life kinda took on a life of its own—three kids, a dog, a cat, endless sports runs, jobs, and just the general chaos that comes with all of the above. Somewhere along the way, I kept reading (obviously), but the thought of actually sitting down to write about it? Yeah… that got lost in the whirlwind of everything else.
Now, with my youngest officially graduated from primary (where did the time go?!), I’ve finally had a moment to breathe and reflect. I’ve read so many incredible stories over the years, but I never quite had the brainpower to put my experience into words. Still, I highlight passages, obsess over characters, and get that same rush of excitement when I come across a book that completely owns me.
So why now?
Well, for one, a friend (and ridiculously talented author) just had an ARC drop, and I figured, hey, why not spread the love? Plus, I need something to keep me occupied while I spend hours at the gym (not for me—don’t be silly, that would require actual effort).
And, because timing is everything, just as I was getting into that book, another one I’ve been dying to read landed right in my lap. So what’s a girl to do?
Obviously, write about it.
Time to get back into the swing of things—let’s go!
