I know you’ve probably long-forgotten who the heck this “bandar blog” chick is, so I’m here to refresh your memory! I’m Ali and I love books and talking about them. You like books, too. That’s why you’re reading this now.

It’s been MONTHS since I’ve had a blog post (even my Instagram page has been suffering from lack of posts). As you may (or may not) recall, I posted a while back about how I was moving to Sacramento (from Fresno, about 3 hours south). Well, it’s finally happened.

We’ve been in our new home for three weeks now, and we still have some major settling to do. That being said, the biggest hurdle (aka actually moving) is over and every day we have less and less to do, which means…. *drum roll*… I have more time to blog (and write and read)!

Things aren’t perfectly peachy right now (mostly with the work situation- we love our new home and city), so I’m thinking bringing regular blogging back and connecting with my lovely bookish people (um, you) will help give me a sense of normalcy again (and with it maybe some more happiness).

So while I am not quite ready to start busting out those book reviews yet, I am getting close. I mean, hey, look at me even writing a blog post right now! Can someone please give me some serious props for even doing this?

TL;DR – I’ve missed you, I’m coming back soon.
