Happy New Year!
Last year was a good year in reading for me with 138 books (2 short of my personal record) totaling 51,671 pages (a new personal best) and more 4–5-star books than usual. As far as reviewing/blogging, it wasn’t so good, with reviews written for only about a quarter of what I read. Between the pressures of ministry and my wife’s ongoing/worsening health issues, I’m having a hard time summoning the energy to write anything beyond my weekly sermons, Bible studies, etc. for church. This blog has been enjoyable in the past, but it’s time for me to let it go for now. It is possible that I will pick it up again at some point in the future, but don’t expect any new content here anytime soon. I plan to continue reading and interacting with other people’s book blogs (I love this community!), so you will still see me around. Also, I plan to remain somewhat active (including sporadic short reviews) on Goodreads, so if you have an account and want to stay in contact there you can find me HERE. On to the next chapter of life!

Thanks for letting us know. I figured this would happen at some point when you let us know about your wife’s health issues. Are you going to keep the dotcom version or let it relapse and just stick with the free dotwordpressdotcom version?
If you need more Shadow books, just let me know…

I’m just going to let it relapse to the free version at this point. I’ll take all the Shadow books you have, please!

And on a farewell note, it’s been a good run from Booklikes to here. I hope you have a good support circle in real life and while you and I never were buddy-buddy, I am available via email if you ever need to just vent.
God’s blessing on you and everything you’re dealing with.

Thank you! I do have a good church family and parents and a brother within an hour and a half drive. Will definitely keep in contact.
