My (Unintended) Hiatus

So this blog has been pretty dead lately! And there's a good reason for that: it's a book blog, and I haven't been reading much these days. I have three major excuses:

1. NaNoWriMo (I won! And am now editing my novel)
2. Thesis (Apparently finishing a masters is a lot of work)
3. Health (Despite having been diagnosed with celiac several months back and going gluten free, my iron has actually gone down even further and I fainted early this week)

Right now #2 and #3 are taking priority, and as much as I'm hoping to get to #1 it is definitely on the back burner until I finish my masters. Unfortunately, so is this blog. I'm hoping to update as much as I can and continue to read when I get the chance, but my thesis is due March 1st so I suspect I will be pretty busy till then! Just wanted to elaborate on my absence and explain what is going on and that I hope to be back regularly as soon as I can.

Happy December and Happy Reading Everyone.

School school school + Giveaway Winner

Yup, it's that time of the semester. Reading is basically non-existent unless it's related to epigenetic reprogramming or inheritance, and the only posts I'll likely get a chance to write up in the next couple weeks are those I have already scheduled tour dates for, but I'm already excited about digging into a whole bunch of books over the holidays. For now, it's mostly just academics though.

In the meantime, don't forget to enter my giveaway for Unstoppable in Stilettos (link). It's a fun positive memoir with some great takeaway lessons, and I'm kinda sad there's only one entry. Speaking of entries I realize I never posted the winner for The Art of Disappearing- Congrats Ruthie! If you can e-mail me your address at strandedhero(at)gmail(dot)com I'll pass it onto the publisher and they'll have your copy on the way to you, I hope you enjoy the book, I loved it.

Take care everyone and I'll be back properly as soon as I can, I miss my blogging already!
