Week in READview:
On & Off the Blog:
Hello Friends! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanza! To those that celebrate.
Our Christmas was really awesome! We had a great day. Holidays in the middle of the week make work weird but it wasn’t a bad week. I really had a wonderful holiday and I am looking forward to New Years and just relaxing at home.
I have been MIA for a bit with everything that was going one. Between the sewer pipe busting, my daughters first cheer comp and my mom having a stroke (she is home and doing amazing)
Overall the last few weeks havn’t been great, I decided to put reading aside until next year. I know I wasn’t going to be able to read like I wanted and figured I would just take a break which has actually caused me to read a little bit and it has been nice to just relax.
I am going to have a post regarding what next year will look like and I am hoping to be back to blogging next year about 65%. I am not sure it will be all about books but it will be just 100% me. Again I am just feeling like blogging isn’t the big thing anymore and tiktok is where it is at. I just am not a tiktok/youtube person. I just love blogging and writing posts. I am hoping to do a lot more of it next year as well as reading.

Glad to hear you’re doing okay and had a great Christmas. That’s good to hear your mother is doing well, but I am sorry to hear she had a stroke. I hope that sewer pipe is resolved now, but that sounds like a pain to deal with. I hope 2025 will be a great year for you and you can get some blogging and reading done.
I sm sorry to hear about your mun. But I am glas to hear she is doing well
And yeah blogging is a dying breed. I do not get tiktok..they all read the same books and they are all 5 stars. No thanks
Instagram. Too fancy
I’m glad to hear your mother has recovered well
If the US bans TikTok as threatened the platform will collapse anyway. Blogs may not be sexy but they are stable and not subject to the whims of arbitrary violations or bans etc
Have a great reading week and a happy new year 🥳
Very true. I figure i’ll stick with instagram for now and see how the year goes 🙂
Thank you! She is doing great!
I enjoy watching TikTok videos, but don’t really like making them, especially because I hate seeing and hearing myself on camera, lol. I will continue blogging because I love talking about books, and even just being able to talk about what I’ve been dealing with during the week. I’m going to attempt COYER again this year. Hopefully I keep up!
Best thing about COYER is you can do as much or as little as you like. This is so laid back you can do it without even trying 🙂
I tried so hard to make TikTok videos, and I just couldn’t do it. I love blogging! I hope you have a great week. I’m glad your mom is okay.
Thank you!
I love blogging too, I think I am just not that type of person, I might try to do thing on Instagram instead and see what happens.
glad to hear your mom’s doing well, especially as the new year begins.
I haven’t tried posting book reviews on TikTok as yet. Maybe one day I’ll give it a try. Happy holidays!
She is doing great, believe it or not it only affected her Handwriting which makes her very lucky.
I might try instagram first and see how it goes but blogging is what I love.
Sorry to hear about your mom, but glad she’s doing better. Yeah, blogging has changed a lot in the last few years. I am not a tik tok/youtube person. I hate being in front of the camera and honestly I cannot watch any of the so called reviews people decide to do. It takes too long to get through them and I just find the whole concept dreadful. Though I can’t read books super fast, I can read a review a lot quicker than it takes someone to tell me about it. So I stick to blogging as I’ve always been a bit of an old soul anyway! Lol. You never want blogging to feel like a chore. Even if blogging takes a backseat next year, that’s fine too. You should always enjoy what you do to spread your love of reading around!
Hope you and yours have a Happy New Year!
Here’s my StS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I believe we started around the same time. I just like the old way also. While I love watching videos I don’t feel I could do them myself.
I still love visiting blogs it feels more personal!
Thanks for sharing. I’m glad to see you here. Sorry things have been so hectic. I hope you have an amazing New Year.
