It's a chance to share News.
A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

Be creative, it can be a vlog or just a showcase of your goodies.
I sort of hit a blogging slump. It's much like a reading slump, but instead of not wanting to read I didn't want to blog. I had things to blog about and I did read books. But I didn't want to blog about them.
The good news is that I now have a little room to pre-schedule reviews and will have like a three week advantage.
The bad news is that I have decided to abandon a book. The first one this year, The Fifth Vial by Michael Palmer. I will post a full run down about why I decided to throw in the towel latter today.
What's Happening This Week:
- Sunday: 20% Rule -why I did not finish The Fifth Vial
- Monday: I will be interviewing author Eugenia O'Neal (my first author interview). I really hope you stop by and read the interview Eugenia is a really nice person and her interview is full of information.
- Tuesday: Teaser Tuesday featuring I'm Only Human After All by Alex Rogers
- Wednesday: Review of Jessamine by Eugenia O'Neal.
- Friday: Friday Finds
- Saturday: Stacking The Shelves
GiveAway:
This has to be the first time in a long time where I have had a post scheduled for every day in a week. I don't know how people do it, it's exhausting.
Happy Reading,

I get how you feel when blogging just doesn't feel like the best thing to do on Earth :/ Rest well, take a blogging break and maybe you'll come back more refreshed!

Sometimes a break is needed and can be good, don't worry about it. It is exhausting posting every day and I don't do it often. You have to find a posting schedule that works for you and the heck with that others do.
ReplyDeleteI read The Fifth Vial; it wasn't great but I mostly enjoyed it. I have found that the older I get, the more willing I am to DNF a book. There isn't enough time to waste on a book that isn't working for me.
Taking a break sometimes clears the mind. It's always a good thing. I hope you have a great week ahead.

Aw, I know how you feel. I've been in a reading slump this month. Hopefully it starts picking up. Good luck with scheduling, it makes things much easier :)
ReplyDeleteThere are definitely a few books I should have quit reading this year! And pushing through with them always puts me in a reading slump - that's what;s happening now with my audiobook.
ReplyDeleteHope the break worked and you find yourself enjoying it. Looking forward to your week ahead. Thanks for being a part of The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteAww it is ok to abandon a book. I've done it a time or two. I'd rather spend time in a book I enjoy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!

I've gone through blogging and reading slumps this year too. I learned that it's okay to step back and take a breather!
