Blogging Break

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous break. Sorry that I haven't been around commenting much, I was away in London, but also haven't had the chance to read much either. I've been blogging for nearly two years now, I know time has seriously flown by and I do love every minute of it. Of course I would never be able to manage everything without my co-blogger Rachel, who has been amazing! But since last month, it has been a real struggle finding a book that will keep my attention, I don't know if this is because I've become a fussy reader, or I just need a break from everything. So I've decided to take a break for a while, maybe just for January. Hopefully this break will help me get my reading mojo back! Don't worry though I won't completely disappear, Rachel and I have our Monthly Recap planned for Monday and of course I'll still be around on Twitter and Goodreads. That's another thing, I haven't been able to visit Goodreads as much as I used to, and I really do miss it! 

I'll hopefully see you guys around soon. and hopefully this will be me in the month of January!

I definitely understand the need to take some time for yourself, Jasprit! Blogging is much harder than it looks, even if it is wonderfully rewarding.
I hope you'll be back soon, I'll miss your reviews.
Hugs and happy new year!

Ahhh. I just came back from one, Jas. But don't worry, everyone needs a break once in a while. We'll be here, waiting for you. :) Have a nice break.

I can totally understand that, Jasprit. Sometimes you just need a break to get back into the swing of things. Happy New Year. I look forward to your return! :)

I know how you feel, I couldn't read very much in the summer without feeling like something was missing. Have a nice rest and will catch you on Twitter :)

Mary @ BookSwarm said...

Yeah, totally understand! I hit a two-month blogging slump before I finally had a good reading streak and (hopefully) now I'm back on track! Have a wonderful January and enjoy your down time. :)

Ah Jasprit I'm sorry that you won't be around so much and about your reading slump. I think we all went through these from time to time. I hope you'll enjoy your break and have a great time. Enjoy and relax :) We'll be here, waiting :)

I understand your feelings, Jasprit! I recently took a hiatus of my own. There were things going on in life, and I hit a reading slump. Have a good break!

Ann said...

Enjoy your time off! Hope to see more from you in the near future. =D

I completely understand you, Jasprit. I myself took a few blogging breaks this year and they definitely helped. I hope you enjoy your time away from blogging.
Take care!

*sobs* No Rachel and now no you? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? *throws dramatic tantrum*

Okay, now that's out of the way, I can leave a coherent comment:) You will be missed hugely Jasprit, but we all get to a point in our blogging when we need to take a step back for a while and rekindle our love for it. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your time off and find a ton of books that finally grab your attention!

Aw, have a good blogging break Jasprit. <3 Sometimes we all just need a little break :)

Unknown said...

Hope you get your reading mojo back and have a great break, Jasprit!

I took a break in December and I still don't feel like I want to be back right now. I'm just overwhelmed with reviewing (even though I have so many of them written already O_O) and finding something good to read. Idk. I'm trying to get myself back to it little by little. I hope you have a fantastic break and of course I'll stalk you on twitter, GR and no Instagram :)

Aneeqah said...

Aww, Jasprit, I'm sorry that you've lost your reading groove! I really hope that taking a break will allow you to come back, refreshed, and that you read plenty of awesome books in your free time. Taking a break is definitely necessary once in a while, especially since you've been doing this blogging thing for such a long time!! I'll see you around Twitter and Goodreads, then, even though I'll miss you here on your awesome blog. <3

Happy reading, Jasprit!

Unknown said...

My blogging break did wonders for my reading life and all around interest in blogging. Hope it helps you too!

Jasprit said...

Don't worry Jenny, Rachel is back to blogging, so she'll still be around once I'm away :) And thank you!

Unknown said...

Enjoy your time, Jasprit!

Keertana said...

I just got back from a break and I REALLY enjoyed it. I think it's difficult to realize just how much time and energy goes into blogging until you take a break and suddenly just READ and don't always review or comment, so ENJOY your break, Jasprit - you deserve it! :)

Henrietta @ Leisure Reads said...

You totally deserve to have some time off, Jas! Have a happy 2014 :D

Jess said...

Happy new year Jasprit! I hope you have a lovely break and come back feeling refreshed and motivated and ready to read some exciting 2014 releases! :)

Amanda said...

I totally get where you're coming from, Jasprit. I'll miss reading your posts, but it's far more important for you to regain your love and enthusiasm for reading/blogging than to keep doing it if you're just not into it right now. Enjoy your hiatus!

Sam (Realm of Fiction) said...

I haven't been able to keep up with Goodreads much lately either, and I miss it too. I hope you have a great break though Jasprit, and find a good book that manages to get things back on track for you. You deserve some time off. I'll miss your posts, but I'm sure I'll catch you elsewhere! :)

Shooting Stars Mag said...

That's one plus of having a co-blogger. You two can switch off sometimes, allowing for someone to take a break when needed. I hope you find some great books soon!

Enjoy your break, dear! I hope it leaves you refreshed and rejuvenated. And go you for realizing you need this and taking it.
