No post this week!

So, I had a post almost ready to go, but I am so frantic that I don't really have time to finish it, and I'm probably going to get behind anyway, so I'm just going to give myself a break and pause blogging for this week. (Which is technically the first time I've done so, barring my holiday break in 2021, since I joined #IMWAYR since the start of the pandemic—I don't love breaking my streak, but I also think there's perhaps something liberating about getting rid of that pressure!) Still, my plan is to be back next week with plenty of blogging for everyone to hopefully enjoy!

    Enjoy your break and take your time getting caught up. Blogging isn't the most important thing in life.

    Yes, by all means, give yourself a break!!! I love your weekly posts, but the world won't end if you skip a week. Better to take care of your mental health and not get too overwhelmed.

    Good luck with everything on your plate this week!

    Definitely give yourself time off. I think pausing sometimes is needed and rejuvenates us. Enjoy!

Well, it's happening—on Monday, I start in-person college classes for the first time in my life. Accordingly, I will be wildly busy and frantic for a while, but considering I posted a book review every single week of my first year of college last year (which was all-virtual), I don't think my blog will suffer too much. But you can expect that Thursday Thoughts posts will be on hiatus, and I probably won't have time to stop by people's blogs during the week (although I will still be diligent about commenting on your MMGM and #IMWAYR posts). Blogging is a nice respite from the chaos of college, so I will look forward to sharing oodles of book reviews as always in the months to come! In other news, I bought a bunch of new graphic novels using gift-card money! A few are already out, most of them come out in September and October, and one comes out in February and one in April. It'll be nice to have some cool books just magically showing up on my doorstep! Aggravatingly,

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Yummy!

People in my life who read this blog will know that I've had some big change in my life this week, and I'm grateful to those same people for staying connected with me. I'm going to fight to stay connected with them too. I haven't read much this week, which is a shame, because I've gotten to visit several wonderful  bookstores I'm hoping to post about soon, and I have all these new books I want to read! I made myself sit down and finish the book I had started last week—which was of course totally fun and I'm glad I did. So I'll share about that book today, and hopefully I'll get to read all my other cool books and talk about them soon!
