Iโm personally in a period of rest & being very gentle with myself until my upcoming spinal surgery. EDS has caused the C1-C2 bones in my neck damage my spinal cord/brainstem. Everything else is on hold.

I miss doing the blog greatly but my body needs this break. As soon as Iโm recovered enough I will be back to helping readers meet some great books! I donโt know when that will be (spinal cord injuries are slow at best to heal) but Iโm determined to get back to regular blogging!
