Well, it's been a slow year on the blog for me. I haven't been writing as much as normal, and it's been tough for me. A combination of changing roles at work, normal growth of parental duties, and some family developments has preempted my writing here on the blog. It's been frustrating for me because … Continue reading 2024 Blog Updates

2023 Year’s End
2023 Well, the year has come and gone. It's time for the 2023 year's end review. This has been a fantastic year for the blog. I'll get to that in a minute, but first I want to thank you the reader. This has been the best year by far since I began blogging on Primmlife.com, … Continue reading 2023 Year’s End
Life and Blogging Schedule Changes
Today's post is about life and blogging schedule changes. We've decided to start telling strangers that a little book reviewer is on the way. That's right. House Primm-Donze is expanding. Our first child is on the way. Originally, the baby was scheduled to arrive in January, but as with most things in life, the schedule … Continue reading Life and Blogging Schedule Changes
2021 Review Preview
2021 is almost here. The new year promises to be one of change, but here at Primmlife, I'll be up to my same old, same old. I have plenty of fantastic books to review for the coming year.

Quick Mid-November Update
NaNoWriMo Well, the month has flown by. It's almost Thanksgiving! Work is slowing down; so, I can get back to a somewhat normal life. November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). During these 30 days, people attempt to write a 50,000 word novel from start to finish. That means a total daily word count of … Continue reading Quick Mid-November Update
New Year, New Logo
A new year means a new logo. Earlier this year, I discussed PrimmLife and how to improve it for 2019. My friend Meghan offered to make a new logo for me, and you can see it below. I absolutely love it. While we were brainstorming for it, she asked questions that forced me to think … Continue reading New Year, New Logo
2018 Year End Review
2018 stared poorly, and it ended poorly. I posted a long detailed report about 2018, which detailed the challenges that I faced during the year. I'm proud of that post, but before it could be backed up, the database for my website got deleted or corrupted or whatever. My website went down for an hour … Continue reading 2018 Year End Review
Checking in December 2018
It's been an odd week. Between work and being sick, I've been very busy. Jiu Jitsu has been a lot of fun this week. Even though I get crushed when I step on the mat, I've finished the session much more positive than when I started. The year is coming to a close, and there's … Continue reading Checking in December 2018
Change to Review Process
When I set out to build this blog, I knew that I had a lot to learn and that only through continuous improvement would it succeed. I love reviewing books and hope to continue to be able to do so. This means improving my reviews of Advanced Review Copies (ARCs) and how I promote those … Continue reading Change to Review Process
The Joys of Blogging
It’s Friday! What a week it has been. Work has cut into most of my writing time, which is okay. I like my paycheck, and sadly my writing provides zero of those. I am, however, working on a couple of posts for this blog – a spiritual piece and a book review. The book review … Continue reading The Joys of Blogging
