Be still, thy beating heart…for we are back in business!!!*
After a rather lengthy hiatus, due to the unrelenting assault from malevolent spirits of the Internet who seek out humble book blogs in which to infest and spread their disease from (coupled with an epic bout of procrastination on my part to actually deal with the issue), we are back and blogging in the New Year. Who would have thought to see a New Year’s resolution acted upon and take effect so quickly!
It has been a long time since I last posted (nigh on 6 months I believe), so much redemption will be needed in 2012 to bring the Bytown Bookshop Blog back to its former glory and vast readership (mom, you still there?). I’ve had a number of ideas fulminating over the past few months that will hopefully come to fruition soon, and of course will, as always, continue to post on local book events, sales, reviews, odd finds and what’s happening in the Canadian Private Press scene (they’ve been busy).
My original intention had been to write a lengthy post covering all the wonderful things the bookshop has been involved with over the latter portion of 2011, but unfortunately while the evil demons of the Net have been beaten back (thanks to a good friend who is wily in the ways of interweb), my good friend procrastination has yet to be fully subdued. In fact, even as I write this I am also making the final preparation for a weekend getaway and will not likely be posting again until next week.
So, I guess a Happy New Year to all who have followed us in the past and those who may just be joining us now (don’t worry you didn’t miss much…), and we look forward to a fun and fulfilling 2012!
To keep you occupied the next few days whilst we are vacationing, I highly recommend checking out what a properly managed blog looks like at Intentionally Entertaining. If you love food and the art of hosting, this blog is for you.
As for what has kept me occupied these last few months that would allow my website to remain in such a state of disrepair……why this little lady of course!
Yes, she already has her own e-reader…..

*The whole website blog thingy I mean, we never really went “out of business” (doing quite well online actually…)
