A little more blogkeeping!

I've been absent from here for a while--the past couple of weeks have been crazy in our house and I've been trying to catch up with my reading for my solicited reviews.

The good news is that I've finally reach a point where things are calming down and back under control and I plan to be posting here more often.  I have decided to make a few changes:

• My template and method for reviews has changed just a bit.  I'll still give the books a rating, but that rating will be an average of 3 other ratings--one for story/plot, one for style, and one for my general thoughts.  To try to keep things from getting too nitty gritty, I'll round to the nearest quarter of a star. As for my template, I'll break my reviews up to reflect this.
• As much as I love my blog design and I hate to do this, I'm going to be changing this.  My blog designer has apparently shuttered her business so I can't have her make the changes I need.  I'll probably go to a free template for a while--I need to convince my brother-in-law to design me a new template!
• In the past, I have not reviewed books that I've read for my book club.  However, I'l be changing that policy.  I do plan to go back and review at least one book, but I'm not sure how many past that I will do.  In the future, I will review these books, but only after my book club meets.

Okay, I think that's it for now!
