A lot has happened since I last posted to this blog in April 2019. I finally finished my college coursework (still haven't put in my request for graduation to get my associate degree, though). I passed my CPC certification exam (on my second try). My youngest daughter graduated from college and moved back home to save money for an apartment. Of course, all of this has taken a back seat to the big world event of 2020 -- the Covid-19 pandemic. As of this writing, several states have started to loosen the restrictions of the two-month-long lockdown, but most people around me are staying put.
I was already working from home and only left my house once a month before the pandemic started, so nothing much changed for me at first. My husband and the two kids still living at home are all essential workers, so our routines were normal for a while. Then, my work slowed to a crawl since the doctors I work for had to cancel almost 50% of their schedule because it was non-emergency healthcare. Suddenly I have more time to do things around the house but all I want to do is read, probably to get me away from the constant talk of the novel coronavirus.
So here I am, trying to blog about books again. This time, I have no illusions. I know that I won't get a lot of comments or make a lot of money. I'm mainly blogging so that I can offload my thoughts about the books I read because (a) I often have trouble remember which authors and series I enjoyed and why, and (b) because the few people in my life who are readers don't like romance. Who knows how long I will stick with it this time, but I feel like I need something to pull me out of this lockdown malaise.
