Monthly Rewind ~ April 2016

 Rewind April & What to expect in May:

This has been the year of the SLUMP, one of the worst slumps I have ever been in. It doesn’t only appear in the blogging reading world but also in the real world. I am having a very hard time focusing and I think, like many, I am in need of a good vacation. Just way from it all to relax and just enjoy. This month was the Dewey 24 hour Readathon and it totally killed my reading slump…Thank goodness! My blogging slump is also almost at an end, in 3 weeks I will finally get that good vacation at BEA, I have a feeling I will be back to my bloggy self once I get back. I can already feel the excitement and the blogging juices flowing. Next month I am hoping to have a lot more posts for you but of course, I am not stressing if I don’t I will make the last half of the year great it just might take a little more time. So please bear with me just a little bit longer, I promise I will be back to visiting and posting again soon.

With all the slumping I have decided that for right now I plan to read what I want. I know books have deadlines and release dates but with my issue I thought I would ignore them all and just read. I will get to them all and will probably wind up reading more of the new release books than I would think but I just want to read and not feel pressure to get stuff done before a certain date. I think this will get me in a much better mood and a more happy blogger 🙂
