Gone Fishin’
Okay, not really. But after some consideration, I’ve decided to take the summer off from blogging. Looking back at the last few months of posts, I feel like I’ve lost my blogging mojo (maybe it’s to be expected after 5 years?) I haven’t been reading enough to have anything interesting to say about books, when I have been reading I haven’t had time to talk about them, my posts have been sporadic and I’ve been using contests as filler, and this summer is going to be a busy one both personally and writing-wise.
I will still pop in on Twitter, Facebook, and on other blogs, just because I like the social aspect of the internet, but I’m going to step back from this blog until I feel like I can make it entertaining again — for myself and for my readers. I will schedule a few things — like the reminders to nominate favorite covers — but this post will remain as a sticky on the top. If I have news, I’ll post it on the front page of the website and the News page (although, if I have really big news, I’ll post it here, Twitter, and everywhere else.)
As always, I’m available via my Contact page.
Have a great summer! 
I think it’s smart when people take blog vacations. Good for you. Blogging shouldn’t be an obligation.

I hear ya, sister. Good for you. But it’s uncanny that I was JUST saying to someone how much I love your website/blog. That I feel you’ve done it ‘right’ (if there is such a thing). Have a great summer, MJB.
Mwah!

Sometimes you just need to step back and take break, so you can find your joy in something again. I hope you enjoy your summer! I’ll be following your tweets on Twitter and look forward to when you start blogging again.
Take care,
Donna
Everyone needs a vacation – have a great blog inspiring summer – see you when you get back.

I don’t think you’ve lost your mojo! I always read your blog. But I know how you feel. I keep wanting to do that, but every time I decide to, the VERY next day I come up with a flood of fifteen blog posts. And then, suddenly, all I want to do is blog. It’s pitiful.
But I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing. I’ve been thinking of doing a non-internet summer. But I’m afraid I’ll decide it and then make a fool of myself because after one day I cave, LOL!
Hope you have a fun and energizing summer !
I hope you have a great summer, Meljean!
Have a great summer! As someone who’s avoiding Facebook and Twitter, I guess I’ll just catch the big stuff here.
Just another reason for me to join twitter (but I’m still resisting!!! or all will be lost. *g*)
Have great summer off blogging, Meljean. Hope to see you back here refreshed and energized.
How can you abandon me??? I will miss you so!!!! *SOB*
Ok mostly I haven’t even been keeping up b/c I’ve fallen behind what with work and stuff. Hopefully by the time you decide to come back I’ll decide to get caught up. heh
I hope you have a great summer.
I’m sure your little girl will be very happy about this. Have a great summer.
Have a good one – looking forward to your return!
