I haven’t blogged since February. That’s almost eight whole months. I’ve been busy, life has been hectic and I’ve thought more than once about giving blogging up. I even went so far as to delete the Twitter account attached to this account, but I’m not sure I can do it. I love blogging. Most days I didn’t feel very good at it all but I love connecting with other readers and sharing my love for books.
So I guess this is an apology, a promise and a new start all in one. First of all, I’m sorry for just completely abandoning this blog. I haven’t picked up a book in months and couldn’t find the motivation to blog, so one day I just stopped. It’s taken me a while to get back to it, but upon receiving an exciting parcel, I was reminded about the joy of reading and the thrill of sharing it with this community.
I’m promising not to pull the plug on the blog just yet. I can’t promise to post every week or even every fortnight but I am promising not to give up on it. I’m going to keep blogging and I’m going to get a new Twitter account. I love chatting with you guys, so please leave me a comment letting me know how you’re doing and what books you’re loving at the moment.
As for a new start, I guess this is it. I haven’t posted in months but over the next few weeks, I’m hoping to get stuck back into reading and writing for you guys and should have some exciting new content soon!
My Twitter is back again at @opinionful so send a message or a follow my way and we can reconnect!

Hi there, I hope you felt good about posting your first post in a while. Blogging is about fun, not obligation or stress. So I would say blog when you feel like it and not when you don’t. However, you are right about sharing the booklove, here seems to be the best place to do it. I have just finished reading a strangely named book called ‘Grannie Panties are UnderRated’ by Gayle Erickson. It was really good. I hope you enjoy the book you choose to read and maybe review next.
Amanda.

When I saw you liked my post, I was like, “Omg she’s baaaack!” I agree with Amanda, blogging is about fun, and not obligation. There aren’t any strict rules with blogging, anyway, so go do whatever you’re comfortable π At the moment, I’m reading Six of Crows and gahhh I’m far from halfway but I’m loving it! Anyway, looking forward to reading your posts again!

We’ve all been there! My advice is always to do what feels right for you – it’s a hobby after all! It must feel good to finally feel that spark again, though. π Good luck! I’m looking forward to reading your posts!
