Why I am not doing a reading list this year

Why hello my lovely readers. How was your Christmas and New Years? I know it’s March, but life just carried me away as per usual.

I have been pretty much silent over the last couple of months, and I want to say I am sorry for falling out of touch. When I started this blog I was very much a heavy reader when it came to the wonderful world of books. But as of late there has been other thing pulling away from my favourite past time. So I have decided to make a few changes this year and the first of them is my reading list.

Like all of us book bloggers, we set a yearly goal of how many books we aim to read. For the last 3 years I have smashed each goal….except last year! Just after the new year I logged onto my Goodreads account to update what I had read. Only to see that I was 4 books short! DISASTER! Which lead me to having a really long hard look at what I wanted to achieve with my reading this year.

Being a typical Gemini, I have a million and one projects on the go. I run a witchy business, write occasionally on my other blog about going cruelty free and have a full time muggle job. Excuse me while i got lie down.

For me this blog has been my hobby, my passion project. Something that makes me smile while I do it. So for this year I will not be doing an itemised Reading list. I have scaled back my Goodreads goal, to focus on reading for pleasure. I will still read the ARC that I have and get offered if they interest me. But for now its just keeping it sensible and fun.

I hope to increase my interaction over the next few weeks, and fingers crossed keep a little more consistent with my posting. I am all ears for recommendations, and there will be some reviews coming up soon.

But other than that, hi from me, missed you!
