Back in ye olde days I started a blog called BookBoy in which I wrote about books I was reading, along with observations about the world of books, reading, and libraries. Then I had a flash of inspiration and started ReadingHacks.com which I thought was a smashing idea. And still do. It would be filled with posts about “tips, tools, and gadgets for people who love to read”. BookBoy would be simplified to focus on children’s and young adult books.

I have found however, that I am not finding the time, energy, or inclination required to maintain both of these blogs to the standard I would like them, especially with my not-so-secret desire to also write a book or two.

With this in mind, I have decided to consolidate. ReadingHacks will take a break. Maybe it will come back to life one day. We’ll see. BookBoy will once again become my solitary blogging home (apart from my blogging at work of course). This means BookBoy will expand a bit beyond pure kid’s & YA books, but you can read about it there.

So if you don’t already keep up with BookBoy, I’d be glad to see you over there. To make it even easier, you can grab the RSS feed here. You can also keep up with me on twitter.

And the two shall become as one

Welcome to ReadingHacks.com, a place to enrich, enhance, support, and accessorize your love of reading and books.

As a librarian, my life is somewhat saturated by books. I spend my days recommending, finding, buying, issuing, returning, shelving, talking about, and even reading books. I spend a fair amount of my spare time reading books for myself, reading books to my baby girl, or blogging about books both here and at bookboy.net. I like books, and I like reading.

ReadingHacks.com is a place to share tips and suggestions for enriching your reading life, along with a variety of intriguing, useful or just plain fun book related “stuff”. Exactly what can you expect to see here? Tips for getting the most out of your library. Places to find book recommendations. Useful book related websites. Book & reading related furniture. Reading gadgets. Ebooks & ebook readers. Books about books. Pretty much anything to do with books and reading.

What this ends up looking like in the long run is a bit unclear, but why not come along for the ride? You can subscribe to the RSS feed or email updates. You can also follow me on twitter.

I am certainly not the only person with things to say about the subject, so feel free to comment on individual posts or to get in touch through the contact page with feedback, questions, or if you would like to suggest a reading hack.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the journey.

Jonathan
