First Day of April and Back to Blogging.

Well, I have discovered something. I can't stay away from the blogging. I love talking books for children and sometimes for teens too much. And I have so many recent reads that I want to share. Plus, those reads from my Cybils judging for 2012! In other words I do believe I am about to burst with all the book love I have in me.

It was a great month of taking a step back though. Gives you a good sense of what your fingers are itching to write on.

Looking forward to getting back into the blog of things on the first day of April....no foolin'!

And I write. Need time for that. Needless to say the time left is limited and so enters making social media decisions for my time online. This is my blog. It is difficult to say goodbye if only for another month or even two. Especially difficult because I do love being a part of Marvelous Middle Grade Monday and I love sharing some of my favourite reads.

But.

Goodbye it is for another little while. To me blogging that is. I am going to be carving out some time to read all of your blogs...you keep me on my reading and writing toes!
