I’ve been writing about books online since 1999 when Blogger and LiveJournal first appeared on the scene and made blogging a thing. I started It’s All About the Book on Blogger and wrote mostly about YA fiction because I was a YA librarian at the time.
As the web evolved, adding to it became easier and like many other bloggers, I jumped ship to WordPress in 2006. Unfortunately, I lost all my writing from 1999-2006, but had the opportunity to start totally fresh, resulting in 20 years of A LOT of books read and shared here.
I find as I look ahead to 2026, my first full year of retirement, that my heart just isn’t into the blogging any longer. In the way of the web, things have changed. Writing about books has been replaced with talking about books on new platforms like TikTok and Instagram and I really doubt that the online book community wants to see or hear an old lady talk about books!
So, this is my very last post for It’s All About the Book. I will leave the archive up for a while since my older posts still get some traction.
It’s been a delight to share my reading with you. I hope you have found a book here that made an impact on your life.
