If you're reading this, you might have noticed I haven't written a blog post in two months. This is partially because school kept me from having time to write anything. It also kept me from having the energy to read. I always make time to read even if it seems like there should be no way I'm able to. But this school year, it hasn't even really been an issue of time. It's more of an issue of energy. I was always, always tired. (Still haven't really gotten over that yet) I always wanted to be reading something but even though I have a huge backlist of books I want to get to eventually, I couldn't think of anything, or find anything, or nothing held me.
This school year has not been easy on me. It was my junior year and I can only hope that my senior year, which I start in about two months, isn't any harder. Even if it is, I refuse to let it get to me the way this year did. I'm finally going to listen to the advice my boyfriend has been giving me for months: to take care of myself first.
I'm also not going to let any of the things that aren't (can't be) number one on my list be a source of guilt for me. Like this blog. I considered giving it up because I hadn't written anything and I couldn't see myself having time or energy again. But none of that was true or I wouldn't be writing this now. Instead, I'm going to relax it a little. When I don't have time to read a whole book or write a whole review, I'll do something like this and let you see a little more of my life. I want this to be more casual and so it feels more personal rather than like a list of books I've read.
In that same vein, I'd be willing to take any suggestions for things I should read or features I should add.
