Oh wow, um, I didn’t mean to stop posting back in early November. I had plans to read all the books I’ve received for review and review them, but that didn’t happen. A deadly combination of things prevented me from doing so—work, stress, and not being in the mood.

Work: Tis the season, so of course my brain is focused on being the best bookseller I can be and having to deal with customers, which brings me too…

Stress: Work and money and life related. It’s a tough time, especially since I had to get a new phone (mines stopped working) + Black Friday sales and whatnot.

Not being in the mood: If I’m not in the mood for reading, I won’t read. I had the case of “not-being-in-the-mood-to-read-fiction-books.” I just wanted to read all the nonfiction books I could get my hands on. I don’t know why, but I was fascinated by how language worked so I’ve been on an English language kick. #NERD

You may or may not be asking “where is the YA Book Cover Choice Awards?” I have been doing that award since 2014, but this year? I don’t know. I don’t think people are very excited about it. Why should I spend time on something (that is quite tedious) when only a few people will actually take part in it? It feels like wasted energy. I may do it though because I love it, but it’s probably gonna be really late. Still pondering through it.

In December, I’m gonna try to post more. My fifth year blogoversary is coming up, so.
