Happy Thanksgiving (And an Update)

I’m Canadian so today was Thanksgiving.  Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians here.  And a very early happy Thanksgiving to my American readers!

Anyway, I wanted to finally check in again and say this: I’m finally, finally feeling better and my schedule isn’t nearly so crazy.  Therefore on Wednesday I will be resuming regular posting.  I’m not resuming regular posting tomorrow, on October 13th, because it is my birthday and as has been my custom for three years, I’ll be writing an off-topic post about a subject I care about deeply.  So it’s not really regular programming.  However, as I said, the reviews, articles and discussions you’ve come to expect from me will resume on Wednesday.

Thanks for sticking with me through this tough time!

Yep, Sick Again

There’s a super-nasty cough going around my apartment complex and I, like 90% of the people living here have it.  Of course it’s about 10 times worse than normal because of my asthma so I’ve not had a pleasant past few days.  Some cases have developed into pneumonia so if things don’t seem to be getting better next week, I’m going straight to a doctor.  The last thing I need is pneumonia.

Hope you’re all having better Fridays than me!

Review Request Backlog Update

So the bad news is that I haven’t been great at getting through my review request list again.  So I’m sorry for that.

The good news is, however, I have been working through it recently.  All reviews should show up here on The Mad Reviewer eventually.  I’m sorry I couldn’t stick to the timelines, but life got in the way again.  But the reviews will still be happening and I will be promoting them a little more heavily than I normally would to make up for the extended timeilne a little bit.

Okay, I’m Finally Moved In

Having never really moved before, I never realized just how complicated the whole process is.  For the past few days not only have I been trying to find my way around the city but I’ve been cleaning like mad.  My place wasn’t dirty per se but it was dusty enough to set off my allergies so I’ve been cleaning like a madwoman.  Then of course I had to unpack all of my stuff, including the boxes and boxes of books.

So, to make a long story short: it took a lot longer than I expected.  But I really am back on the blog this time.  Sorry for the false hope last time!  Tomorrow really is full steam ahead now that I’m fully adjusted.

Note: My Mailing Address Will be Changing

Since I’m moving to the city, my mailing address will obviously be changing.  If you’re one of those editors, authors, book tour hosts and/or publicists that sends me physical books, please don’t send them to my old address.  If you shoot me an email, I’ll be happy to tell you my new mailing address. I know that it takes the surprise out of things but it’s better than me not getting the book(s) at all.
