Weekly Wrap-up for March 24, 2013: Sick and Plans..

I don't like having silence on the blog, especially when I have so many things to talk about. I know I can't control my body or the symptoms of my Lupus, but I still get mad when I can't find the time to blog. And it has been that way for a few months!

I also feel bad that I have pretty much abandoned the event I am hosting this month. I had big plans for my reading...and that has fallen away. School has been crazy busy recently, so I'll throw that excuse out there one more time. ;) But now that some of the craziness is going away, and my Lupus symptoms (like the sore inflamed joints) are disappearing, I've been saddled with a cold. Drat!

Anyway, school winds up on Wednesday in preparation for our Spring Break. We're lucky this year to have over a week off of school. In addition to reading a great deal, I'm also making plans to catch up on the HUGE backlist of posts I have in draft form. I'm thinking I'll get cracking early and schedule everything out until I am caught up and up to date. :)

I hope you can all excuse my absence. I'm still trying to find the balance between work, family, hobbies, and my health. It has been a rough road, but I am getting there. I miss blogging and the amount of joy it brought me...and I know some of that joy now comes from other places-like teaching. But I miss it and want it back. Please just continue to bear with me.

Absent.

Just a head's up that I'll continue to be a little absent on the blogging front. I'm in the midst of a flare-up and typing has been a little painful for my hands. Hopefully it'll die down soon so I'll be able to talk about all the wonderful books I've been reading.

A Modern March Link-Up Post!

Hi everyone! Welcome to the link-up post for "A Modern March!"

The goal for this event is to read some great Modernist literature (not contemporary lit-there is a difference!). I'm hoping we can all learn a great deal about this movement and the writers who published in this time period.

Starting today, read those Modernist pieces you selected. Once you write a post related to the event, make sure to come back here and link them up using the Mister Linky below. Just remember that this isn't a race and the goal isn't to read the most books-just to enjoy your reading!

I also want to encourage you to come back often to see others' posts and cheer them on. And, if you are on twitter, use the #amodernmarch hashtag to talk about the event.

Good luck and remember to link those posts!

*For the Mister Linky, please put the Title of the novel, following by your blog name in the "name" section. And make sure your URL is the URL for the post you want us to see, not your blog!*
