From 1996 to 2011, christian-sauve.com offered a monthly assortment of reviews; Over the years, I have tried to stick to a monthly quota of eight book reviews, and all the movies I have seen. From 2001 to mid-2011, this averaged out to about 96 book reviews and 120 movie reviews per year… not a bad average for volunteer work.
Due to ongoing happy lifestyle changes, however, this rhythm started sputtering in July 2011 and will not be sustainable in 2012. To this end, I am announcing a semi-hiatus of sorts for the year: No more book review quotas, and shorter/shallower movie reviews. I’m not saying that there won’t be any new material: the reviewing impulse is strong in me, I know that I will need to review some noteworthy books and I’m committed to keeping an online record of my movie-watching. Still, as I realign my time toward more urgent purposes, I’m giving myself an excuse to not feel forced to put up content in 2012. We’ll how this goes.
I also expect to be back in 2013, so this isn’t a good-bye as much as it’s a “wait a minute… or a year.”
