Well, hello, and Happy New Year! You may have noticed some oddities lately as I've buckled down and cleaned up this blog after two and a half years, but I have to say I'm pleased and excited that it's finally in a new stage of life. Some twenty-something soul-searching has shown me that researching and discussing books, movies, and miscellany based on Shakespeare is my true passion, so this blog will be getting a lot more attention from me.
What's New?
If you're viewing this on-site, you'll see there are new pages and a new fancy layout. If you're in RSS feeds, you shouldn't notice anything, BUT should you ever want to come over to the site, I'll try to have treats for you. I'll still play with this for awhile, but you can learn a little more about me, or find old reviews by category. It's New!
Posts will become more regular. I've set up a schedule for myself, and succumbed to the siren call of the Kindle Fire for my reading needs. I still have a lot of paperbacks to document, but new stuff will be easier to travel with. Wednesdays will be for Books, Fridays for Movies, and Sundays for Whatever I feel like sharing. Might be Miscellany, might be discussion threads for the week, might be a picture of a cat in a ruff. It's New!
IDES! The IDES of each month will be dedicated to Non-Fiction. I spend so much time in the world of fantasy that sometimes I forget to be about the real stuff as well. Today is sort of an exception as I have not read a NF book in quite awhile, though I have a pile. If the NFs become DNFs, I might switch it up. It's New!
Internet Presence. I'm going to get good at Twitter. You can follow me @linthenerd. I'll consider a tumblr only if someone makes a really really good case for it. I want to keep Facebook separate for now, but we'll see how stage one shakes out. It's New!
So What?
Maybe nothing. Maybe it means nothing in the grand scheme of things to you. BUT If this blog grows and gains followers there will be opportunities for Giveaways, Games, and other Fun Things. So share it with your friends who like books, or like Shakespeare, or like movies, or like being nerdy on the internet together, or all those things. If you have suggestions for the site, let me know. I'm not looking to buy a domain name anytime soon, but I would like to be a sort of reference point for people interested in the world of Shakespeareana. I think it's really fascinating, all the ways his work is re-imagined, and maybe you are, too!
In any case, WELCOME! Here's a picture of a cat in a ruff:
