A New Evolution

New Year, New Me, right?

I can't believe it's been five years since I last blogged, but one of my resolutions for 2018 was to get back to blogging, specifically blogging about books I'm reading.

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Quick Overview:

In the past 5 years I have
  • completed my undergraduate: English Ed
  • taught English, theatre, yearbook, and computer applications
  • completed my graduate degree: English: Creative Writing
  • moved to Texas
  • moved back to Missouri
  • married the love of my life

This blog started as part of a class assignment during my undergrad--my online reader's journal. From there, I shared a few books I liked, but at not consistent rate. That's about to change.

Over the past year, I had the pleasure of subscribing to a monthly book box: OwlCrate (definitely recommend). Unfortunately, I had to cancel the subscription because adulating takes money, but I hope to renew the subscription soon. Less than a week after cancelling OwlCrate, I found an ad on Intagram from another subscription box, PageHabit, looking for a new moderator for one of their book box genres. I applied.

And they accepted me!

So, how is this blog evolving? Subtly.

From Cover to Cover will still cover books I'm reading and I promise to be open about the good, the bad, and the ugly about each text. My aim is to write a literary analysis of the text. Some will be longer than others.

The main difference will be that each month you will find my review of the PageHabit book assigned to me for the previous month (head's up--I'm moderating Romance). So, expect quite a few plugs for PageHabit within posts.

But there will be other texts, too. I have several books from OwlCrate to complete and I want to read a variety of genres this year.

Here's to a new year, a new me, and a (slightly) new evolution to this blog. Come back often to see what I've been reading from Cover to Cover.
