Dear Readers - An Apology

Sunday, October 23rd, 2016
Received on Friday, October 28th, 2016

Dear Readers,

I'm sorry for not keeping the blog alive this past month. Will you forgive me?

I messed up this month. Big time. Not only did I mess up towards the end of September, but for the majority of this month, I didn't write or prepare any blog posts for you. I don't really know how many people read or care about this blog, but for the small audience that I probably (or hope I) have, I would like to apologize. No content for a bit over three weeks? I know I would be going mad if that were to happen to some of my favorite blogs.

What happened? What caused me to not write blog posts? Well, I can't really say. I guess it had to do with school, for one thing. It can be busy at times, and weekends are usually for relaxing or for meeting up with friends, and while I suppose I could have used some of my free time for blogging rather than reading or blankly scrolling around bookstagram, I did not.

I should have tried more. I really should have. And, sure: this blog is just for fun, right? But isn't this good practice for skills I'll need in the future? Skills such as planning? Marketing? (Who knows if I'll actually need that one, though.) Writing?

I apologize. I'll try to do better this next month.

{Julia}

    This is from your BESTIE, Saloni. I like this blog. It is very cool. Also you're practically famous. Which makes me practically famous by association. Thanks, I guess... tee-hee.
    P.S. Sorry but I wasn't sure how to make this not by "unknown..." But this is Saloni. Trust me; nobody else would come up with a name like that.
    P.P.S. My regards to JuJu and Emily (I still need to come up with a nickname for you!)

This Month's Popular Posts

Quotes: The Nightingale

I realized that, over a year ago, I wrote a post called "Quotes: Audacity" , and that this post did really well (it's actually Reading is Inevitable's most read post!), and yet I never wrote another post of quotes from a book. I liked writing that post, too. I like sharing quotes I like from books. That's why I started doing it on our bookstagram page . So why did I never write another one of these "quote blog posts"? I don't know. But I intend to write at least another one. And that's why I'm here today. Well, there's that, and then there's also the amazing book that is The Nightingale.  If you've read some of my recent blog posts or have poked around a bit, you would know that exactly a month ago I published my book review on The Nightingale , in which I explained my love for it and why you should read it yourself. And while I actually have another post in the works on that book because it definitely deserves more than on...

August 2016 Reflection

Since the last day of August was this past Wednesday, that means that we are due for a monthly reflection! If you already know the drill, you can skip the following paragraph and move on, but if you don't know it or want a refresher, then go on a head. In these monthly reflections, I look back on the month for our blog, Reading is Inevitable, and our bookstagram (book + Instagram), @readingisinevitable . I also review the goals I had made the previous month. Then I write about what this month will be like for the blog and Instagram, as well as some goals for the upcoming month. The reason why I do these monthly reflections is so that I can see our growth and progress, and see what's working and what's not working. In these reflections, I make changes according to this. You, as a reader, can also see our growth, and get a sneak peek at what is to come. With that, I hope you enjoy this monthly reflection. I believe that August was a very good month for Reading is Inev...

Quotes: Audacity

As some of you may know by looking at my posts on our social media page (@readingisinevitable on Instagram), I am currently reading Audacity by Melanie Crowder. It is a beautiful book written in free verse, and follows the life of Clara Lemlich, a female Jewish immigrant who came to America in the early 1900s. (For the full summary of the book, click here .) I absolutely love books written in free verse, or any type of poetry, in fact! This book is so lovely that I have decided to dedicate a whole post to some of my favorite quotes or parts! (Note: I am only on page 294, and there are 366 pages, not including the extra content at the end of my local library's copy.)

Movie Adaptations: The Light Between Oceans

On September 2nd, The Light Between Oceans started to be shown in movie theaters. I saw it the same day, a handful of months after reading and falling in love with the novel by M. L. Steadman in which the movie was based on. I think that the movie was a very good adaptation of the book. Sure, there were a few things that were changed, but I feel like not too much was lost in the movie.
