Have you ever felt like you’re failing at being a reader and a Bookstagrammer? . Life has been a bit overwhelming for me lately. There have been so many changes in my household since the start of Fall, both of my kids started new schools, I started a new job working a lot more hours than before, my husbands job has been more demanding and then this past weekend we lost one of our dogs. With all of this going on, finding time for reading and time for Bookstagram has felt next to impossible. I truly enjoy reading and miss taking that time for myself. I enjoy everything that comes with Bookstagram and I find photo taking, editing, arranging and composition so fun and it gives me such a creative outlet. But the truth is, I just don’t have the time and when I do have a little time... I’m often so exhausted that I don’t have the motivation to do anything. I’m not saying goodbye, I’m just asking that everyone be patient with me as I try to figure it all out. I’m struggling with posting every single day, commenting on other posts frequently, answering or replying to DMs and emails and taking on books for review or books to feature. I’m sorry that I’m struggling so much to interact. My hope is that I will be able to manage my time and do better in the future. Thank you all for understanding and being so supportive. I truly love this community and all of you! .
