Blog Update

By -
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been updating the blog everyday like I used to. Well the short story is I am taking classes for the rest of the year and won't have as much time to read as I used to which means I won't be able to post as often.

The long story? I moved to Germany 4 years ago and my German is still not that good. I was taking classes for a while, just an hour a day, and that was working, but slowly. Then they got too expensive and I had to stop so I tried to learn through various other methods. I met up with a friend who was also learning and we studied together, but I really need a class to motivate me and make me do the work I should. If left to my own devices I will just put it off and read instead which doesn't help. So I signed up for some intensive classes with the hopes that by the end of the year I will be able to speak German fairly well. They are all morning plus homework and other events so it is a commitment. I am really motivated right now though so I am hoping all goes well.

Classes will significantly cut into my reading time so I know I won't be able to keep up posting like I previously did. Right now I am hoping to post about every other day or so. Once I get into it and see just how much time I will have I can adjust, but for now that is the goal. Hopefully it works as I have way too many good books to read! So thank you for following me and hopefully next year I will be back to my previous posting schedule (with some new Deutsch skills under my belt).

Today is the day!!!   Love Hacked  is out now!!! You should all go get it. Even if you don't know Penny Reid's other books, go get this one.

Available on Amazon.com *  Amazon.de *  Goodreads Synopsis: Emotions run high in this true polar adventure. It's a story of triumph, harrowing danger, and outright adventure. In 2012, Aaron Linsdau left his entire life behind. Gone was the engineering career. He told his family and girlfriend that he wanted to pursue a dream to do something no other American had ever accomplished. He wanted to be the first to ski from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without aid or support. Alone. The journey to the South Pole covers over 700 miles through the most forbidding frozen terrain on the planet. The temperature is always below zero and gale force winds routinely roar across the ice. The polar plateau is devoid of life. There are no plants, animals, or insects. Antarctica provides no shelter, no protection, and is unforgiving of any mistake. But before the expedition was to start, there was much to do. Linsdau trekked 100 miles across the Greenland tundra
