Well, I know I’ve made similar announcements in the past about the direction of this blog, so I suppose it can’t hurt to do so again. 2016 was the last time there was anything resembling consistent posting here at the good old o' Stuff. Many of those posts were the books in the mail posts, which felt redundant after so many years and a bit showy off after a while.
I still post reviews very, very regularly at SFFWorld, with the majority of the books I review being sent to me by publishers specifically to be reviewed. I put on a slightly different hat when I’m reading a book for review purposes vs reading a book without the intention of reviewing. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy the majority of those books, but there’s a slightly different sense of commitment.

That leads to what I intend to do here at the Blog o’ Stuff – post book thoughts. What a novel concept for this blog, right? Well, the books I intend to feature here will be books I haven’t received for review: books I’ve purchased on my own or books I’ve received as gifts. I’m not sure how regularly I’ll do this, because I’ve often gone 4 or 5 books in a row that are review books. That said, I have one post ready to go this week, a “review” of a book I recently finished that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I’ll leave you all with a photo collage of Dusty, the dog my wife and I welcomed into our home this past summer after Sully passed in the Spring. Dusty is a sweet, smart, silly, derpy dog who has her own Instagram, if you believe that: Dusty the Derp. Amazing how she can type with those paws, but she manages to post something about once per week. Dogs are the best.
