As an attempt to get back into the swing of blogging things, I’m starting with the annual April A-Z Challenge. I started setting up my blog too late to make it to the official theme reveal, so consider this my unofficial entry.

It’s pretty simple — it’s the A-Z of me. I’ll share the things that made me who I am, that I continue to keep close to my heart. Mostly it will be books and authors I adore, but plenty of movies, celebrities, places, food, events, etc. will make an appearance. I figured this will not only be a fun challenge, but also a good way to (re)introduce myself to the internets.

For those unfamiliar: the A-Z Challenge means blogging every day in April except Sundays, with each blogpost devoted to a letter. Q and X will be …interesting, but I’ll deal with them when I get there. (Planning ahead is for suckers.)

You may see other topics while I’m in this blog-building phase, but there will be at least 26 new posts here before May 1 rolls around. I’m sure I’ll have a book review or two to post by then as well.

So, if you’re interested, on April 1st I’ll be back here with a post about my favorite things beginning with A. (Sneak peek — several amazing women are likely to feature in that one, including a queen of mystery, a chatty redhead with a habit of getting into scrapes, and an irrepressible aunt who wants everyone to live, live, LIVE!)
