Lost and Found

Whether or not it means anything to you, True Believer, I have decided to resurrect my blog from the dead!

Sock-footed and not pregnant.  Possibly resurrecting this blog to avoid unpacking moving boxes?

 Here is a short list of reasons of why I decided to start blogging again:

1. I have been mourning the loss of working in an elementary school library
2. My kids are in middle & high school now, so it's not like I spend a lot of time volunteering at their schools anymore
3. I have been lucky enough to find NetGalley and become a member, so now I get to read Advanced Reader Copies (ARC) of children's & YA books and post reviews here, there, and everywhere
4. I forgot how much I enjoy writing

Since I am not officially "working" right now, I get a lot of time to read, think, write, and talk to our dog Walter.  We just moved to a new town and I have spent a lot of time getting lost, which is actually fun for me because I like to rely on my bad sense of direction to try to get back home.  It's amazing what you will find when you get lost!

Anyhow, I will be using this platform a lot to post my book reviews and I hope you find them helpful.  I'm sure you're asking yourself, "Why didn't Elena just start a new blog dedicated to book reviews?"  Oh, the answer to that is easy: All the good book blog names were taken.  And let's face it, I'm not about to keep up with 2 blogs when I can do it all in one place!  It's my little corner of the internet universe, yo!  I do what I want!  😂

OK, True Believers, this is where I end this post!  Feel free to peruse the archives.  I warn you though, 2012 was a rough year...  Make it a great day, or not, the choice is yours.
