Looking Forward...

And just as quickly life can surprise you, it can and will surprise you again. But this time maybe not in the way you planned.

You may have noticed I took another unscheduled, unannounced, unforeseen, unexpected hiatus. To give a simple explanation, without going into too many details of my personal life, the Universe had some different plans for me than I had for myself. So I needed some time to regroup and recover. This summer has been refreshing and lazy. Just exactly the break I needed after four hardworking years in college. Now summer's over and I've taken the time I so desperately needed and I'm ready to come back. I have a lot of time now to read and write new fresh posts for you and I plan on doing that. I really do. I've already requested a bunch of books from my local library. I should be picking them up as soon as Monday! I can't wait to read them, they're some very exciting picks. You'll have to wait until I do a reading list for September to see my picks. But worry not! That post is queued up and ready to post within the first week of September.

In the future, when I feel I need to take another break or if something happens where I'm forced to take a break, I'm going to be more conscious of warning you first. I feel I owe that to you. You've read my blog maybe for a some years now. Maybe you like it and are disappointed when I abruptly don't post for several months in a row. I feel the same way about blogs I follow. But we're only human, right? Sometimes things don't go according to plan. If I pull another hiatus without notice, I'm sorry in advance. I hope you'll enjoy my old posts or be reading a book most compelling to distract you from my absence. I'll also try to have scheduled posts to keep you satiated in my absence.

Meanwhile, get ready for a new month of new posts! I'm working on giving myself a schedule. Maybe starting at posting twice a month then working my way back to posting once a week like I did in 2013.

Have any recommendations for me? Send them to me at pulledfromthebookshelf@gmail.com

P.S.: How do you like the new look? I figured a change on here would be good.
