Last November I took a necessary break from the blog for personal reasons. It was the first time since I started blogging that I chose to step away from the blog and the break was something I look back on fondly. Recently I’ve been struggling with blogging and reading. I feel like I’ve only been able to put in half the effort I usually do and it’s really starting to get to me. I’ve been feeling really scatterbrained over the last month and there are some days where I feel stretched so thin, it’s hard to find the motivation to do anything book or blogging related. All this is leading up to me taking a little blogging break. From April 12th through the 21st, I’ll be on hiatus. For me, this means I won’t be on the blog and I’ll be shutting off my WordPress notifications. I will have a couple of posts scheduled to go up while I’m away, but I won’t be responding to any comments until I come back. I will still be on Twitter. I haven’t decided how much, but I have no plans as of now to stay off it while on hiatus. If you need me, Twitter or email is the way to go.
Hiatus Time!

Enjoy your time away! I think it’s smart to recharge your batteries and take breaks. Otherwise it’s easy to get burnt out. I took some long reading breaks last year and it felt awesome!

Enjoy my dear! I’m not so good about informing my visitors. I need to follow your example when I leave for vacation. P.S. I’m loving the ocean waves 🌊 here!

When you decide to come back, try to do some scheduled reading, such as “I’ll read for 15 minutes.” That helps me a ton. Sometimes I pick up a book and feel like I’ve been reading forever. So, I get on my phone to screw around on that for a while, when I realize I only read for, like 10 minutes.

My phone is the biggest distraction for me. I think I need to seriously schedule some offline time in general. Thank you for the suggestion, I think I’ll do this with my current read.
