Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!


Welcome to my NEW & IMPROVED blog!!!


Before I was posting on wordpress and it was a little bit of a hassle. So after a bit of thinking, and some soul searching, I thought I'd give blogging another go.

If you were a follower on my old blog (http://hackaroosreviews.wordpress.com) I sincerely hope you follow me here to blogger. 

I know I haven't been posting very much but if you've been reading some of my recent posts, you'll see that I've had quite a busy 4-5 months. 

So there was a point when I didn't think I wanted to blog anymore. I felt guilty for missing days, and not having reviews or posts lined up like I used to. I started blogging in December 2011. Yes, it's already been a year but I felt that it wasn't a full year persay since I took some breaks. Some really long breaks actually. I almost thought about giving it up because I didn't think I could find my motivation or umpf to get things going again. 
A couple of my besties, Autumn @ The Autumn Review & April @ Sim Sational Books both offered to have me post a few times on their blogs. I love them for it and will probably do that from time to time to mix it up ;-). 

Mostly, April had to keep reminding me that this is not a job. This isn't a requirement to do. It's something that I love to do and take pride in. I can never thank her enough for all the support my girls have given me. I felt like an outsider at times because it seems like it's been a while. But sometimes, life hands you a few wild card to be dealt with and that is what I am doing to the best of my ability. 

So, all in all, I wanted to start fresh and rejuvinate myself (and my blog thanks to the lovely Tabby @ IMR Reviews) and just talk and blog about one of my most favorite things.....books! 

So I know I've rambled on for a little bit but I hope you understand that I'm still here. Just MIA for a little bit!
But I promise I will be here for a while and hopefully I will have a better year this year! 
Don't forget to follow me, subscribe, and leave comments!! I love comments!!!

P.S. Just wanted to say thank you for staying with me and being so patient with me while I've been a bit MIA. It truly means a lot to me.

  2. Oh, I love your new design!!! It's so pretty!!! :)

    I know exactly how you feel. I started my blog last January but then had to take most of the second half of the year off, due to some personal stuff. I'm just now trying to get back into the swing of things.

    All the best for you!!! I'm glad you're back!!! :)
