I am contemplating expanding CM beyond just books to more of a general purpose blog with a wider range of content (sports, current events, personal musings, etc.) instead of focusing on mostly just book reviews. Strong opinions on this? Drop in the comments (please!).

Yes, I am once again messing with the template and design on this site. There are probably few people who actually care given the percentage of people who surf here from Google searches. But if you need an explanation, I am looking to blog here more regularly and use WordPress post formats to combine traditional blog elements with Tumblr like photos, videos and audio. Thanks for stopping by no matter how or why you did so ...
Yes, you read that right. My “blog everyday in February ” masterplan failed. Weakened early by a nasty virus, it has finally collapsed because I just don’t want to do it. I think I will lose my blogger card or something but it is the blunt truth. I just don’t have something to say everyday and forcing myself to try isn’t cutting it. So here we are, From now on the site will be what it is: a place where Jeff and I occasionally post our thoughts about books we...
That was quick. My goal of posting every day in February was cut short a mere four days in thanks to nasty bug that knocked me out for the last 18 hours. TMI, perhaps. Such is the cruel nature of life however. Nothing to do but get up, pull yourself together and carry on. Content will resume when I am able to sit upright long enough to write a review. In the mean time, let me leave you with this lovely graphic.

Let’s face it, this blog hasn’t exactly been lighting it up lately. What was once an active and engaging lit blog (is that still a term?) is now a place where occasional reviews are posted. Now, some of you fine people still enjoy the occasional reviews that are posted here. You appreciate the quirky and eclectic taste of the writers. And thank you for that. I have apologized and promised to do better but without a great deal of success. So, I have decided to saddle up and...
I know what you are thinking? We have heard this all before. Kevin is always promising to write more and focus more, etc., etc. Guilty as charged but what is the new year for if not to turn over a new leaf and other clichés? So. I figure if I am going to have a blog I should probably go ahead and post to it. And it isn’t like I have stopped reading books. A little discipline and focus and, boom, a more active and engaging book blog. I have a number of reviews I need to finish and I...
I felt compelled to add the parenthetical statement to the title of this post because this site was down for days and not one person mentioned it to me. This, I will confess makes me both sad and frustrated. Sad for rather obvious ego depreciating reasons. Frustrated because I seem to lack the focus and discipline to make this site what it once was: a half-decent book blog. It has gotten so bad, Jeff posts more regularly than I do! (I kid, I kid) So … sorry if you tried to visit and the...
