Three Years of Blogging

Three years ago today I created a blog and posted my first post:

I'm not ready to really get started yet. I'm still deciding exactly what I want to accomplish here.Stay tuned . . .

Well it’s been a fun and interesting three years and this blog continues to change, evolve and develop, so maybe I’m still deciding exactly what I want to accomplish.

I’ve changed the title from Blogging My Books to Whimpulsive and also migrated to my own domain.

The title change was to reflect a couple of things – partly because I combined my crochet/knitting projects blog and a just for fun stuff blog into what had been a strictly books and books only blog. I’m still very much mostly about books here, but I do toss in the random non book post occasionally. That’s initially where the name change to Whimpulsive came in.

The second reason that Whimpulsive is a better title is something I talked about a couple of weeks ago. It’s that I’ve come to what is for me a good balance of scheduled reading (via challenges and ARCs) and more spontaneous “oh look! Something shiny!” whatever I want to read next whimpulsive reading. It’s really put a lot of joy back into my reading.

Another thing that puts a lot of joy back into my reading is all the great friends (cough cough ‘enablers’ cough cough) that I’ve met through this blog. I now have a great group of people that have expanded my reading horizons and continue to encourage me to read new books, read great old books, and just talk about books together.

So on this anniversary; I want to say “Thank YOU!!” to all of my readers. I’m looking forward to continuing to talk about books and life with all of you.
