How thick it would be! It would be a great and honest guide concerning which classics to choose. <br /><br />Secondly, I'm in awe of your managing to keep up such a steady lot of great content on top of full time study commitments. How do you manage? I am not a good juggler of anything, but least of all time 😉<br /><br />The holidays are going to have to be one of the perks of returning to study, I'm sure 😄 Thanks for your encouraging words.

Of course, I'm (selfishly) sorry that it'll mean a little less of you here on the blog, but I'm impressed that you've made such a realistic assessment of your commitments and sorted yourself out ahead of time ;) I took the plunge in returning to full time study earlier this year (Master of Creative Writing), and it is both not as bad and far worse than I was expecting! Hahaha. Either way, I'm there in the boat with you, we can do this!<br /><br />And P.S., you're spot on about a self-education through blogging about books - the other day, I did some maths, and realised I've written in excess of 100,000 words for Keeping Up With The Penguins! That's a generous thesis right there!!

It was comforting in a way. I've been feeling daunted by the thought of assignments, but reminded myself that as far as length is concerned, I'm at least used to creating content 😊Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-24503241643021499672019-08-12T21:10:04.470+10:002019-08-12T21:10:04.470+10:00I knew your posts were meaty, but I didn't rea...I knew your posts were meaty, but I didn't realise they were that long!

It is a good bit of brainwork for those leisure, which is surely doing us good. Slow and steady is great when it's all we can manage, and once book blogging becomes a chore to keep pumping out content, we've lost what it's all about.

Keep enjoying yours 😊 <br /><br />I so know what you mean about the time consuming aspect, especially since getting up reviews we are happy with take such emotional energy too. I'll be keeping an eye on your blog and catch you on Instagram too. Sometimes we just need a break 👍Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533677737021490096.post-53781845022950294802019-08-12T09:54:26.489+10:002019-08-12T09:54:26.489+10:00Congratulations on your home schooling achievement...Congratulations on your home schooling achievements. <br /><br />I also struggle with blogging time. I sometimes work very long hours and I write very slowly. I have generally been getting up one post every ten days or so, and I sometimes struggle to do that. <br /><br />I am glad that you will still be around. I always say that bloggers should never feel rushed or pressured to get posts up.

And how exciting to begin a new chapter or season! <br /><br />You can be confident that you have been self-educating all this time, reading the classics and writing about them. There isn't a better education, I think. <br /><br />I'm somewhat taking a break from writing to do more reading, but like you, I hope to just do little blurbs on other social media, and maybe a blog post once a month or so. I agree...writing (that is, formulating an emotional review) is time consuming...and for me: emotionally exhausting. : D<br /><br />Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.com
