Hello, friends! How are we all doing? I hope everyone is continuing to stay safe and healthy no matter where you are in the world. ❤️

I’ve been mentioning for a few weeks now that I might take a mini-break and I think the time has come! I’ve been a little swamped with work lately (even only working three days a week) but I’ve also been struggling to come up with the mental capacity to actively engage for a while now, and I feel guilty about it but I think my brain is just really tired? Aside from my lack of engagement, I’ve also been struggling to write half-decent reviews and I feel like everything I’ve come out with has been a rambling mess! I think what I’m hoping for with this break is to really just find my groove again with all things blogging because I feel off-kilter! 😂

I’ll still be posting blog tours and ARC reviews and I’m planning to focus more on engaging during this break, so you’ll hopefully find me popping by your posts now and again!

It’s kinda funny because I had a quick look at when I took my mini-break last year and it was basically at the same time as now. I don’t know what it is about this particular month that has me regularly feeling in need of a break—maybe it’s just my way of gearing up for the rest of the year? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who knows! As of right now, I don’t really have a timeline for my break. I’m going to at least give myself 1-2 weeks and see how I feel after that! Perhaps this will also be the perfect time for me to finally work on the revamp of my blog that I had planned for earlier this year? 🙈 SO many plans, SO little time… (kidding, I’m just a really great procrastinator! 😔)

On that note…

stay safe, healthy and happy! 🐼

Hello, my lovelies! How are we all doing?

I feel like this week only just kicked off but it’s already mid-week tomorrow (what how) and at this rate, May might just end up speeding by as quickly as April did! I’m honestly not even mad at that thought because right now I wish that May was already over. In fact, I think 2020 just needs to be over! 😂 But I digress…

I’m just here to make a quick announcement to let you know that I’ll be taking a mini blogging break this week. I have two blog tour posts to make but other than that I won’t be making my weekly barrage of posts. I know it’s silly but it actually makes me sad that I have to take a break because of how much I love blogging and how much joy it brings me. That said, the situation at home right now is so bad and it’s severely affecting my mental health. Being in this weird situation where I can’t leave home to escape the person who is making my life miserable AF is just awful. I know running away from problems isn’t healthy (etc. etc.) but sometimes it really helps to get a breather. What with work also being mental, it seems like all the space in my head has been taken up by these two things and I feel completely overwhelmed and so drained just thinking about trying to make room for anything else.

Sadly that means pulling the breaks on blogging. I’m still hoping to engage and blog hop as much as possible, but I don’t think I’ll be creating content until… Well, hopefully just the end of this week (or otherwise until further notice). I’ve really come to appreciate this community so much and the constant stream of support you all have to give, so I hope you’ll stick around until I get back but I totally understand if you don’t 💞

Until next time, I hope you all stay safe, healthy and happy 🐼
