Hi friends!
So remember when I said I'd be back regularly? Apparently I lied to you so I am SO SORRY.
But the reason I haven't been writing posts is because I've been procrastinating... hugely.
So some of my readers aren't from the UK so I'll give you a little bit of backstory. Here in the UK we've been in a lockdown since Christmas essentially. This has meant that I haven't had a job since then, giving me so much free time. However, this free time has made me not want to do the things I enjoy because that's the only things I can do. For example, if I want to do a workout in a day but that's the only thing I have to do - I'll put it off because it's the only thing I'm doing that day.
And this is exactly what's happened with my reading habits too. Reading was my escape pre-pandemic but now, it's all I can really do. So in the first lockdown, I didn't read at all. Now, in the third lockdown, I'm starting to get back into reading once again.
It's a tricky thing to get your head around but, if you're also going through this I hear ya! It's super hard and I think this lockdown has really affected all of us differently to the first. Something I'm trying to do is give myself some sort of routine but again, sometimes that doesn't work out.
To help get you through, reconnect or find new things that make you happy. I found crochet (although I haven't really done that in a little while) and have gone back to reading. You definitely need to find that balance to get you through.
What I'm trying to say is... I've been procrastinating writing posts because I haven't been reading. I had actually been put in a slump recently by a book that threatened to take my soul (not cute) but I've read Cassandra Clare since them so I'm throughly back in the room.
I hope you're all keeping safe and well, I have a few reviews in the works and a YouTube video going up today at 6pm! So if you want to see that go straight over to my YouTube channel and you'll see it there.
