Plugging Away

This week has looked a little different for me as I haven't been sharing reviews here or on Instagram. They'll be coming, but I am also welcoming the break from the pressure to finish books in time for me to post about them. While I still love reading and reviewing books, I want to go at a slower pace this year. What I thought was sustainable last year has now left me feeling a little like I've had to meet work deadlines on top of work outside of this. That's the last thing that I want to go through, as I want to keep having the capacity to blog 😀

I admit that it's been a nice reprieve from creating creative content where I can just read or write instead. I'm hopeful that February will be a nice month to recover from the busyness of January and to enjoy being in God's presence. Happy February!

Christian Book Review Programs

Over time, I've been on the hunt for Christian book review programs that readers can join. As a result, I've been able to compile the following list which may be of interest if you are seeking review copies of Christian books.

Review: Now and Not Yet

This is a title that I've been excited about ever since I saw others sharing about it, so I'm thrilled that I was able to read it before it was released yesterday. Many thanks to  Nelson Books  and  NetGalley  for providing a complimentary copy of  Now and Not Yet  by  Ruth Chou Simons  for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis Bestselling author Ruth Chou Simons guides readers who are restless in their current circumstances on a journey of growth, purpose, and pressing in. Too often, we feel disappointed with our "right now"--our life circumstances, our relationships, our progress, our daily grind. We want to do so many things--good, godly things--but our situations don't allow us to step into them. Are we missing out on our own lives? Why does right now seem so far from where we really long to be? Bestselling author Ruth Chou Simons reminds us that it's okay to not like the right now we've been given, but we don't have to ...

Reading Week

In the spirit of university students taking a Reading Week this week, I'll be taking a short break from blogging and posting content. Not only do I have my own reading to do for work, I also want to catch up on some ARCs and books that have patiently been waiting for me. Here's a fun fact I learnt when I looked into Reading Week a bit more: "For post-secondary institutions in anglophone Canada, it is common to have "reading week" or "mid-term break" during the third week of February, coinciding with Family Day." Source: Revision Week I'm happy that I can have my own Reading Week! I'd love to do this more often, although it might lose its meaning if I turned every week into one 😂
