Hi everyone, hope you’re all well. I announced on Twitter a couple of weeks ago that I’d be taking a bit of a break from blogging and I just wanted to follow it up with this little post. I’m sure other bloggers would agree that blogging is sometimes like a second job – all the effort it takes to read books that are sent to you, write reviews, participate in blog tours, come up with fresh new ideas for posts etc etc and sometimes we all need to take a break.
Unfortunately, the reasons I have chosen to take a little breather are mainly personal and for health reasons. I haven’t had the best year health-wise with a number of different events happening coupled with my chronic illness, fibromyalgia which has been itself exacerbated by recent events which are completely unconnected! Phew! If you’re interested in reading more about that, I did a post on it fairly recently HERE. I’ve had a particularly traumatic time in the past five months in particular, which has led to a number of hospital procedures and stress for myself and my partner. Today I’m going in for an operation and some investigations so I will probably be on hiatus for at least the next week or so while I’m recovering from that.
I have been missing blogging so much and have already got itchy fingers to write another review (I’ve actually been composing one in my head!) but I need to wait till I’m one hundred percent ready and make sure I can come back and post on a regular basis. I’ve still been really enjoying all the posts from my fellow bloggers and will continue to read them, support them and re-tweet them whenever I can. I’ll still be somewhat active on bookstagram and Twitter so if you want to catch up with me there, you’re more than welcome to come and have a chat.
I miss blogging so much and will definitely be back as soon as I am able, I just wanted to write this little post to explain a little bit about what’s going on with me. Look forward to seeing you all soon round the blogosphere and take care everyone. xxxxx

Thank you, everything went really well yesterday, more investigations to come but hopefully that’s as invasive as it’s going to get which is a relief xx
I will miss you
I’ll miss everyone too!
I hope you feel better soon and that everything improves. Recover, and have a rest, the books and blog will wait! 🙂
Thank you I feel like I want to get back to it now but am just not well enough! Got to keep telling myself it will all still be there when I get back xx
Hope you feel better soon! Good luck xx
Thank you 😘 xx
Look after yourself, and hope you feel better. x
Thank you very much, hope to be feeling better soon 😘
Will look forward to your return to blogging – which will mean you are feeling MUCH better!
Thank you I can’t wait to get back to it!
I hope you’re feeling better Beth! I’ve been on a Dr ordered medical blog hiatus since the beginning of October, which is why you’ve not really seen me around the blogosphere or Twitter the past few weeks. I had Word Press scheduled to post my book review the other day, one I wrote prehiatus, and it’s set to post a couple more for ARC books. I’m not sure when I’ll be back, but I hope soon!! Right now classes are killing me with everything I need to get done…I have 3 essays due next week and that’s over 150 pages! I want to blog, but I can’t even think of writing anything else lol. And medically I’m just going through a very rough time…fibro, daily migraines for over a month now, and some new issues that were just diagnosed that are really taking all my energy.
Anyway!!! I hope your surgery went well!! Rest a lot! I know with the fibro it’s harder to recover. Lots of gentle hugs coming your way, love!! Take care! Can’t wait to see you blogging again ❤
