Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes....

Things have been quiet around here.  I have been thinking.

I started Tweendom at a time when parents were asking and asking for books for their middle graders.  That market has clearly exploded, and while I still adore reading for this age group, I feel a bit like I am in an echo chamber.  So many folks are reviewing so often, and by the time I get around to blurbing a book, I feel like all that I would have said has been said already.

But I'm not quite ready to give it all up yet.  So now, I am thinking of changing scope. (Curse naming my blog after a specific age-group!) I will be blogging some cool stuff I am doing in my role as a school librarian.  I will also be blogging some of the bigger issues going on in the education and library worlds.  There will still be recommendations as well, but they will definitely be interspersed with the other stuff.

Thanks for hanging in!

Glad to hear that you're not giving it up altogether. I'll be happy to read about your "other stuff", regardless of what the official name of the blog is. Blogs change over time - good for you reevaluating to figure out what's going to work for you in the future.

*nods* It makes sense to change the scope of your blog to reflect what you want to write about! Mine's been changing, too, over the past year or so as I've just had way less time and inclination to review. Good luck and we'll be reading! :D

I'm looking forward to stealing some of your great ideas, Stacy!
