My poor book blog has been sadly neglected this year. I’ve wanted to blog, but it just hasn’t happened.

In 2012, I want to revive Reading Upside Down. I’m going to make a few changes to the way I approach it though. I’ve been thinking about it a bit recently and I think what I am aiming for is something that is more conversational rather than sporadic reviews interspersed with guest posts and the occasional book-related post from me.

In 2012, Reading Upside Down will become focused on only books, reading and writing. I’m inspired by the National Year of Reading and want to revive my own love of books, reading and the written word rather than posting dry book reviews and generic posts. I get so animated when I actually talk with people about books, I want that to come through here too.

There will be book reviews, but there will also be conversations about what I am reading inspired by a character, a theme or perhaps even a simple sentence. Chats about writers, chats with writers and chats by writers too.

I’m excited about putting some energy back into Reading Upside Down this year. I’m looking forward to the bookish conversations to come and I can’t wait to get started.
