come and see me at ponder pieces!
My words have packed up their little word suitcases and are moving!
For a while now I have wanted to expand on the topics I cover on my blog, but having named this blog Hannah READS Stuff I felt I had locked myself pretty firmly into what I could post about.
I LOVE writing about books, but I have always felt lost after watching a particularly good film, ingesting an amazing TV series, or gorging myself silly on some new cereal bar or other – I didn’t feel I had a place to rattle on about them properly and my love (or bemusement) for them floated away unrecorded.
Writing about film or TV in a blog that was set up and named to cater for books felt wrong and dirty.
My initial aim for Hannah Reads Stuff has also got a bit lost – I had initially set it up in order to read all the unread books I had cluttering up my shelves – but I very quickly slipped into writing about the new books I couldn’t stop buying and the review copies I was lucky enough to receive. This didn’t sit well with me and always made me feel like I was failing my little blog in some way.
Also, there are just too many blogs out there with similar names to mine and I needed to think of something that wasn’t all “stuff” and “things”.
So I welcome you all to join me over at Ponderous Pieces where I shall be digesting all my cultural meals and the day-to-day adventure-snacks life throws at me. I will be reviewing most of the books, films, TV, art shows, music and other fancy trappings I ingest. There will also be room for more nonsensical light bites as well as more grumble-inducing stodge.
I am not going to close Hannah Reads Stuff as such, I have yet to decide if I’ll continue to post my book reviews here as well, but for the time being I’ll be over at PP making a meal out of things.
I hope you come and visit!
