I did get very frustrated with myself because my book posts started to become a book log with just summaries of what happened in the book. I wanted to blog about books, so I wouldn't lose the skills I learned in college. I also wanted to hone those skills. I'm going to try again, this time writing analytical statements of part of the book.
While I wasn't blogging, I read through the Harry Potter series, and I read more of R.A. Salvatore's books.
