Hello everyone!
I posted a quick blurb last week saying that I’m back to blogging, but I wanted to get back into the swing of things the right way and make an official announcement and go more into the details of what I’m planning to do. If you’re an old friend, I’d just like to say welcome back. If you’re just finding my site for the first time and probably thinking to yourself, “who’s this crazy woman and what is she doing here?” Let me introduce myself real quickly. Hi, my name is Brooke Evans and I’m from Texas. I started this blog, The Cozy Little Book Nook, almost 5 years ago and grew it to what you see today. I’ve read hundreds of books, posted dozens (if not over 100) reviews and made so many friends along the way. I took a break over the last couple of years to focus on other things in my life but I’m back now, and ready to blog again! At this point, I’m trying to schedule my posts at least a month in advance, and have a nice mix of reviews, promo posts, and some writing samples of my own. I have a lot of catching up to do, with over 5000 unread emails in my inbox, lots and lots of books from publishers that I need to catch up on, and still make sure that I have fun. I think that the main reason I stopped so abruptly last time was because this began to feel like a job, and one that I wasn’t getting paid for. I felt like I HAD to post a certain number of times a week (and at some point I think I was posting every single day) and I was putting in upwards of 40 hours a week doing research, reaching out to publishers and making connections with authors, and reading so I could write reviews. I’ve gotten into writing a little bit more. I know I took y’all along for a couple of Nanowrimo journeys a while back but writing was never consistent for me. I want to do more and share little bits and pieces, so sometimes I’ll share a prompt that I find (and give all the credit where it is due) and share what I wrote for that prompt, and I hope that some of y’all will join me in that. I want to see what you write as well! At least for the first few reviews, it’ll be older books and books that I’ve just loved for so long but haven’t gotten the chance to review. I’m not going to write them in order of when I’m posting, and honestly as of right now, I have no clue what my posting schedule will look like. I might be slightly out of practice for blogging, as you can probably tell by how all over the place this post is. Please let me know what you’d like to see more of. I’m excited to see where this blog takes me and I can’t wait to make more friends on this journey! Until next time ~Brooke
