One Year Anniversary

Today is the One Year Anniversary of my book blog! While I haven't been actively updating since my Summer abroad with limited internet last Summer to my crazy semester upon returning, I have been doing some behind the scenes work. The Harry Potter post about WB Studio Tour London is almost done! It has some fun pictures from my visit and mostly talks about the filming secrets that they used to bring the books to life. I also have read maybe 50 books since my last review so I have a bunch of notes being sorted and prepared for review posts, which might look a little different since I am trying a new review format. So while right now I haven't been actively updating I am getting to a point where I hope to be posting at least once a week.

So while that is a update on my life and progress to returning to the blogging world, I wanted to take a minute to acknowledge that I have had this blog since March 29, 2013 and I'm quite proud of it! I hope to continue to gain connections and expand my blogging because I am a reader! Reading is my escape from life. I will never stop reading and I enjoy putting my opinions in the world and finding other book blogs to get recommendations from. This blog brought me many wonderful things in the months I began it and I can't wait to get back to that point again.

I hope that despite my extended hiatus my followers will still be with me when I begin posting again in the next few weeks.

Weekend Update: Apologies, Excitement, and News

Where in the World is Lisa Jean?

I mentioned I had news, but then I was too busy to announce it. Now my journeys at an end, but I want you to know why I have been gone from my blog for so long. I had meant to post during these past seven weeks, but I couldn't find the time.

I'm in London!!!

I have been on a study abroad in England touring for a few weeks, but mostly stationed near St. Paul's Cathedral. I even spent a weekend in Scotland. I am sorry that this update is coming when I only have a week left in my eight week trip. But that is what happens when you stay in a flat that limits the data (mb) and minutes you can use each week. And with travel blogging was a lower priority. But next time I am going to disappear I promise to let you know first!

Still I have been working on blogging plans in some ways. I have pictures from travel that are tributes to some of my favorite British Authors. Look forward to a post dedicated to my Harry Potter experience in London and Scotland. Also look forward to a post all about the amazing author of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen. I took pictures of some other London landmarks featured in books I have read and re-read so I might do a blanket post for those books or individual reviews. This is still to be decided.

Either way I look forward to sharing some of my bookish experience on this trip with you when I return to the states the week of August 12th. I will also be participating in Meg-A Readers the next week as well, which I am very excited about since I followed that even last year! If you don't know what the Meg-A Readers Blog Hop is then check out the information here.

Lastly, Thanks to all my followers for dealing with an extended absence with little information. I'm grateful you didn't abandon my blog and I hope to continue to make it better!

I tried attaching pictures, but it seems my internet here won't let me. Those will have to wait as well! But at least you are informed now!!

EDIT: Seems the picture got on here but huge and 3 times. I have fixed that. It is a picture of me by the Peter Pan statue in Hyde Park.
