#BookBlogWriMo!! Day 1: What have you been up too since BookBlogWriMo 2015?

By -

Yes! It is that time again! Time for BookBlogWriMo!! BookBlogWriMo was created by Book Bumblings in 2014 so us bloggers can participate in the National November Writing Month without writing a book. Then last year Livre It To Me hosted it, and this year I was very excited to see The Perks of Being a Book Girl has taken over. Hooray! I feel like maybe I am a bit too excited about this right now. Maybe it is all the sugar I just ate. Or maybe I just love November and this event! I am not very good at coming up with non book posts to write so I love that I have a different prompt to write about every day. Alright onto day 1!


Introduce your blog/What have you been up too since BookBlogWriMo 2015?

Since I participated the first year I already wrote up the history of my blog here. So what has changed in the past year? What is new or different? Not much. After the first year I thought I would update the blog. Change the layout a bit, make a new header, things like that. I thought for sure I would get it done, but I didn't. I was just too busy. Now this year is even worse. I am taking intensive German classes which take up almost all of my time. You have class for a few hours every morning then spend the rest of the day doing homework and studying. It is a lot, but I am definitely learning German so that is great. I need to do it, want to learn the language here now that we can finally afford classes, but it leaves little time for the blog. Really it leaves little time for reading in general. 

Since all my time is now spent trying to learn a language I have significantly cut down on my blogging time. Last year, and every year since I started blogging, I was posting something every day. This year? Not so much. My goal is about every other day, but sometimes I have something happening every day, sometimes I go a few days between posts. It just depends on what is going on, what books have been released, what I have had time to read and write about. This past month has been especially busy as so many great books have been released and it has been awesome. I still love blogging, I love reading, I love talking about books. I just need to get a handle on the German language before I really get back into it again. And it will happen. Hopefully next year I will be able to implement some things I have been thinking about (like vlogging!) so we shall see. Maybe next year at this time I will have lots of fun things to write about.

Today is the day!!!   Love Hacked  is out now!!! You should all go get it. Even if you don't know Penny Reid's other books, go get this one. Get the others as well, but seriously go one click this one! It is amazing and I loved every moment of it. In fact I might have read it multiple times already... I just couldn't put it down! Amazing.  Love Hacked: A reluctant romance (Knitting in the City) Synopsis: There are three things you need to know about Sandra Fielding: 1) She makes all her first dates cry, 2) She hasn't been kissed in over two years, and 3) She knows how to knit. Sandra has difficulty removing her psychotherapist hat. Of her last 30 dates, 29 have ended the same way: the man sobbing uncontrollably. After one such disaster, Sandra--near desperation and maybe a little tipsy--gives in to a seemingly harmless encounter with her hot waiter, Alex. Argumentative, secretive, and hostile Alex may be the opposite of everything Sandra knows i

Best of 2019

If any of you are following along then you may have noticed that 2019 was not the most consistent year for me. I have been posting less and less and I finally came to the conclusion that I need a break. A break from writing reviews. A break from reading things I have to read to review. A break from being on a schedule and blogging, at least for a bit. I will still update my Goodreads with ratings for books I read, maybe a line or two about the book, but I need a break. I need to not have the stress of getting things read and posted and all of that. It has become something I don't enjoy so if I am ever going to get back on the blogging train I need a break. So I am not sure I will be posting in 2020. I will see how it goes. Life got super crazy (in a good way!) in 2019 so I also haven't had or wanted to carve out the time to blog. I am still reading books by authors I love, but this way I also can fit in more books by new to me authors. Or read what I feel like, what I am in the
