It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve posted a book review on here. A number of months, really, and that\u2019s not been because I haven\u2019t been reading. I have! More than I have in a long while, even. I\u2019ve hit 10 books this year already, and 10 was my aim when I set up my GR Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the thing is, I set out a few years ago to have my blog posts on a schedule. A slow one – once every two weeks – and the initial plan was for reviews to go up whenever. Plans have a way of not working out, and now I\u2019ve switched things up on here and – I guess reviews won\u2019t be posted on here much anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I want to keep this blog running, I will keep posting reviews – especially of any ARCs I may recieve or any books I absolute HAVE to talk about (5 stars or bust!) or any books my friends are putting out there in the world – but they won\u2019t be happening as often. In a nutshell, I won\u2019t be posting reviews of every book I read here. But I will<\/em> still be posting a short review of everything I read on Goodreads (link), they\u2018re just going to look different now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not going to stress myself out about writing down every single thought I\u2019ve had about the books I read, is the thing. I\u2019m going to at least have a short paragraph, and for books I want to gush about, a lot more, but this blog isn\u2019t going to see pages of reviews anymore. And I\u2019m not sorry about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, I think I\u2019m excited about it. Besides my prompt round up posts, I\u2019m going to have to actually think<\/em> about things to write. Which will be something. It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve looked up prompts and discussion post ideas and events. Maybe I\u2019ll even do a bingo of some sort. That\u2019s sort of become a thing I do in my journal so – it could be fun.<\/p>\n\n\n
