Wrap Up | June 2019 – Week One

It’s been about one week of steady blogging for me again. I feel like I’m really getting back into the swing of things, and I’m really excited about it! It’s been amazing to reconnect with all of my old blogging buddies over the course of this week. It’s so nice having such a supportive network of book lovers to chat with about our shared love of reading and all things books. I’ve still not found anything quite so close to that in my real life, and I can’t express how invaluable I find you all for the support you’ve shared with me.

Without further ado, lets just jump right in!

Undead Girl Gang by Lily Anderson

YA Paranormal / Mystery| Think crime/thriller framed within a paranormal setting! This novel was super cute. A story as much about friendship as it was a story about teenage girls messing with forces beyond their comprehension. I really enjoyed the two main characters and the way they played off of one another.

Don’t You Cry by Mary Kubica

Suspense Thriller | Mary Kubica was on my list of authors I absolutely must read at some point, and I’m glad I picked such a great book to start with! I loved the dual storylines in this novel and the way they sort of spin together over the course of the story. Quinn and Alex were great characters, and the mystery kept me guessing right up until the end!

Instagram is one of the social media platforms I struggle with the most. It is incredibly demanding of a blogger’s time and energy in my opinion. I used to aim for 5 photos a week – one for every weekday – but I’ve decided that’s a little insane if I’m also trying to blog, read and review books regularly.

I think I’ve got a system nailed down now though. I photograph my books midmorning on Sunday, (when the light seems to be best in my house) and am now aiming to upload to my feed Monday, Wednesday and Friday instead of every day of the week. It gives me extra time to catch up on comments and reciprocate likes to all my friends. Best of all, this gives me more time during the week to just focus on reading. This week, I uploaded the following to my feed:

Reflections |

I’m a week back into the blogging game and I’m having so much fun! I also am going to count my blessings, because thus far, the books I’ve been reading lately have all been super entertaining and captivating!

I think that taking a step away to sort of reset and have a breather was exactly the right thing for me during my hiatus. It helped remind me of what I love about reading, and reminded me of how valuable all my friends within this community are as well. I’m still chugging along and really excited about the books I’m reading at the moment! New reviews will be up soon!
