Hello, my dear On a Book Bender fans!
In the way of so many blogs and brands, it’s time to retire On a Book Bender.
Here’s what you should know:
- I’m not disappearing
- I’ll still be blogging, just over at my personal website
- I’m still reading
- I’m still on Goodreads
- I’m still on Twitter
You’ll also notice that all of those places are me under my own name.
After managing multiple brands and websites over the past five years, I’ve realized that I can’t do it all. Neither do I want to. So everything is going under one umbrella: Amanda Shofner.
I invite you to join me there. It’s going to be all my favorite topics, which includes self-publishing (which is a thing I do), books (because I never stopped loving reading), my dog (because, oh by the way, we adopted a dog in March), and my obsession with Futurama.
Because there’s a Futurama episode for just about everything in life. For serious.
It’s difficult to say goodbye to a brand that I’ve built over the years, but it’s time. The people I’ve met through On a Book Bender have been AMAZING and WONDERFUL and I LOVE YOU. I hope you’ll say “Hey!” to my @amshofner accounts and not be a stranger.

OMG. But you know what? I am happy for you, Amanda. Just yesterday I was thinking, I am tired of reviewing books on my blog. I love writing and teaching myself web design. I am still a bookworm like you.
You have to do what you have to. You will feel free. 😉
Thanks, Erica! I’m hoping the consolidation of my online presence into one site will only strengthen my brand. It will certainly keep me from forgetting about other places to check. ;)
