It’s been a full month since I last published a blog post, which is my longest unannounced break from blogging ever. To be perfectly honest, my heart hasn’t been in it for a very long time, and the longer I leave blogging, the harder it is to return. It isn’t as though I don’t have things to say about the amazing books I’ve been reading; it’s just that I seem to have lost the will to sit down at my computer at the evenings or on the weekends and write them.
I’m sure I’ll be back. But not just yet.
We’ll be here whenever you’re ready to come back *hugs*

I totally understand how you’re feeling. Hopefully, the blogging bug will bite you again.

I’m sorry to hear that your heart isn’t in writing–your blogging was one of the reasons I started doing so again after graduation and I’ve picked up a few of the things you’ve done and adapted them for my own post. That said, I completely understand the challenges of writing posts (or writing in particular!) when you have dozens of other things going on and keeping it up feels like a second job rather than a pleasant hobby.
I hope everything else is going well and that the inspiration will return.
I find writing reviews takes more time than I expected it to so I am way behind on them too. Don’t get too frustrated though, blogging shouldn’t be a burden that you carry around.

I know exactly how you feel. I’m blogging less all the time and don’t think it will be long before I leave it behind. Enjoy your offline life!

i too have been experiencing the same thing on my both of sites. Friends are telling me that they won’t check my sites anymore because I have been so dilatory. I remind them of the “blogging without guilt” philosophy. I have ben blogging for many years. Perhaps the lull is just natural!
I think that I will be back, but for me as well, as the longer I stay away from it, the more I wonder when I will feel like it again.
Come back soon, I love your reviews

It’s tough especially when your job has become so much more now & dark nights are drawing in. I think making podcasts would be great for book bloggers because talking is often so much easier than writing at the end of a long day. The falw – so many of us feel weird about the sound of ourselves recorded
I think we can all relate to this feeling. I don’t really have much desire to blog, either, and it’s tough to motivate myself to do so! Especially as it means turning on my computer on nights and weekends, when I’d rather do anything but
Even if you don’t blog, I hope you keep in touch!
