Taking a break!

Posted on

I’ve been thinking about taking a break from my blog for  little while now..

Last week was my 3 year anniversary of my blog! And I’ve been doing this with a lot of pleasure!

But lately I feel like I ‘have’ to post something instead of ‘wanting’ to post something! And I feel like you can see that in my blog posts, since they are quite short, and only contain what they ‘need’ to. As in my top ten list, only list 10 books nothing extra etc. Besides I think you can also see it in my comments on your blogs! I really like reading everyone’s blog posts, but I just don’t seem to be able to come up with right comments.

So for now I have decided to take a break until the end of May, and then see how I feel!

What I hope is that from taking a break I can re-evaluate what I want with my blog, so that writing blog posts won’t feel as a chore anymore!

For now you can find my on Twitter and Instagram; @Evelynreads (although lately I’ve not been very active there either, but I check it daily!)

I will probably still post some reviews on GoodReads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/60933497-evelyn

See you!

  1. No wonder I haven’t been seeing your posts lately! Was wondering where you went 🙂 – I hope the break has been good. I’ve been thinking of taking a blog break too because I feel the same as you where I’m just trying to post something, just to post. Maybe because it’s summer break for my kids and I want to be on “summer break” too haha. We shall see what I do, but a break sounds great!

    1. Yeah I really liked it! Made me realize stressing about blogging is pointless haha! Maybe taking a summer break is a good idea haha!

  2. I know this feeling. I just took a few months off because balancing a PhD and teaching and blogging is hard, and it was getting to the point where I was just stressing about having to write reviews. And then you put it off for a few days and suddenly writing a review for a book you read several weeks ago becomes even harder. During my break, I decided to just write reviews in word docs to get a bit of a backlog going so I felt less stressed, and I’ve totally redesigned my blog and shifted to a self-hosting site, which was all kinds of stress but definitely helped me feel keen to return to blogging (if you wanted to check it out it’s http://www.coffeestarsbooks.com). Definitely taking some time out can help! I hope you enjoy your hiatus! <3

    1. Ooh good to hear! I did the same I just wrote some reviews for books that I felt like reviewing! And then indeed I won´t have to stress about not having any since I have a couple in reserve!
      I´ve actually been missing blogging, so will be back in June 🙂 Just with less posts haah
      Will check out you’re blog 🙂

  4. Enjoy your break! I’ve been more or less taking a break as well and it’s felt good.

  7. I’ve been in a similar same position with blogging feeling almost like a chore – particularly while life has been so busy (for example, we sold our old house and went on family vacation all this month). So about three weeks ago I just stopped my blog for some rest and re-evaluation time. I hope to figure some things out and come back with better direction in a few weeks. Take it easy and enjoy your step away.

  11. I hope you enjoy your time off! Everyone needs a bit of relaxation time sometimes, so don’t be afraid to make use of yours! We’ll be here when you return to us all rejuvenated and crackling with creative energy

  13. Hope you enjoy your time away from blogging. I took the better part of a year off a couple years back. Felt pretty good 🙂
