Break Time

blurred golden clock beside hourglass filled with pink sand

After juggling a very full month of family commitments, added work commitments, and other good things filling my time such as relationships, church, and volunteering, I am taking a brief break from posting reviews. Not to fear; I do have some coming soon! However, I need a little bit of a breather as it's been simultaneously discouraging to see some of the changes on Instagram that are making it rather challenging for those creating content and also tiring to keep up with getting reviews out in a timely manner. I still think that three a week has been fairly manageable this past year, but with some personal transitions taking place, I need to catch up first 😅

Additionally, I've received a number of new ARCs in the past few weeks, bringing me back to double-digit numbers of titles to review. I want to make time for these and enjoy the stories without rushing through them. I'm extremely excited about a number of titles that will be releasing soon!

If you're looking for some past articles on my blog, might I suggest the following favourites? I've had such fun writing these and I hope you enjoy some older posts as well.

  1. Reader Observations: I wrote this early on and it's a fun and random list of things
  2. Canadianisms in Reading: I really enjoyed this one as it took me down some rabbit trails
  3. Consumption to Stewardship: I probably link to this post the most when I think about consumerism
  4. Theological Backgrounds: A few things that have helped me in discerning an author's background
  5. Why Romance?: 10 fun things I appreciate about romance and romance books
  6. Mortality and Reading: Here, I get serious and evaluate how much time there is in life to read
  7. Christian as a Genre: The enigma that can be Christian books
  8. Lord of Our Entertainment: Quite frankly, this is such a catchy title that I want to use it again
  9. Christian vs. Clean: Is this the pinnacle of my writing?! Are you ready for a long tome?
  10. Thank You, Authors: Because really, without authors, I wouldn't have much to read

Things I'm Not Supposed to Do

It's interesting to discover what people should be and shouldn't be doing when they share about books online. More and more, I feel like there can be a backlash against anything now, to the point where anyone with a passion for books can feel paralyzed in offering their own bookish content. For the large part, I try to tune out these things because it's ever-changing, and if it's not one thing, it'll be another. I'm sad when people feel stifled due to these capricious "rules" that half (if not more of) the time seem to keep people from excitedly engaging in what they love most. I'm thankful that I've received immense support from the reading community when I first started out, so I want to encourage anyone who is thinking of jumping in with their personal approach to books by sharing how I practically break the following ten rules covering things from content generation to materials access: I'm not supposed to use Canva for my book posts.  ...

I wish I could read the other half of the collection; however, I'm glad that two books exist out there to access! Book Synopsis Nic Ricci is a North End piano tuner and part time math tutor who wants nothing more than to compose; but there are few pennies to be found and an ailing father to support. When a well-paying opportunity arises as a rehearsal pianist for a wealthy heiress giving a recital at the Boston Conservatory, Nic grabs at the chance. He does not, however, anticipate a beautiful, intelligent woman frustratingly accompanied by a chaperone and promised to a brute of a fiance. Esther Hunisett is trapped by her father’s poor business decisions, her dowry and future attached to a man who will save her family’s estate. With little to barter before her life is ...
