Surprise!

Surprise! Guess who’s back! It’s been quite the year. I walked away from this blog a year ago to be a barista. That lasted for about 2 months before I jumped feet first into social work again. It’s been quite the year. Social work in the time of COVID- not a fun feat I tell you.

But I realized something. I missed you all. I missed my readers. My loyal community of people who wanted to talk about books and diversity. My amazing group of people who cared about how to grow through our reading.

For the last year I’ve been writing on “Sparkly Musings of Illogical Proportions.” This will continue as I’ve discovered this to be an amazing outlet for me. On that blog I challenge people to do little things to grow more. To be more kind or to do more for others.

But I’ve missed writing about books. I’ve missed exploring what I’m reading with others and sharing what I see going on in the world of books. So I’ll be back!

Starting January 2021 I’ll be back with more books to discuss and more joy to share. I’ll be limiting it to every other week due to writing two blogs now, but I promise more sparkling content is coming. I encourage you to join me on Sparkly Musings of Illogical Proportions also. The two blogs will be coming out on opposite weeks so fun content will be available readily. I can’t wait to start this new adventure with you!

Keep Sparkling,

A Change this way Comes!

It’s been a year. A long year. A fun year!

We’ve discussed the importance of diversity in literature!

We’ve looked at some of my favorite books!

We’ve looked at the way books shape our lives!

We’ve looked at some silly mistakes I’ve made!!

And now it’s time for a change.

My time as a librarian came to an end at the end of October. I’m now a barista at a local coffees shop. I just needed a change. Something new.

But the last year, getting to write as the Sparkling Librarian has been so rewarding! Thank you so much for allowing me the honor of writing to you all. It has truly been my privilege to know that someone is reading what I write, and I have not taken that responsibility lightly.

So a change! I’m starting a different blog. As much as I’ve loved this, it’s time to move on. To make a clean break. So as of January 1, 2020 you can find me at my new site!

Sparkly Musings of Illogical Proportions

This is a dream I’ve had for quite awhile. I’ve had the name picked out since back in 2018 and it’s finally coming true. I’ll continue to write about books, but this new blog will allow me to share more of my deep thoughts. More of the things that challenge me. More of … well more of me. My love of books is just one small part of me- so here’s to new beginnings.

I promise there will still be sparkles. I hope you’ll join me on my new adventure, but regardless- thank you for honoring me with your attention this past year.

Keep Sparkling,

B
