Hey Everyone!
Just a quick post today to say I'M GOING ON VACATION! Well, it's a staycation really since my husband and I aren't actually going anywhere, just taking time off, but I couldn't be more excited. Normally when I take vacation time I still keep up with the blog, but for the first time in 6 years, I'm taking time off from everything. Except reading. I'm going to get some serious reading done and I can't wait! Please leave me lots of good recommendations in the comments, I want to know the best thing you guys have read recently!
Posts will resume as normal the week of July 11th:)
*bear hugs all of you*

Blog, Interrupted
Hey Everyone!
I just wanted to write a quick post today to share an update on this blog. As most of you know, work has been really busy for me the past few months, so I haven't been able to focus on the blog as much as I have over the past 5 years (I can hardly believe this is my 6th year!). The fact that my (relatively) new business venture has generated enough interest to necessitate working overtime nights and weekends is a fantastic problem to have, but it's also meant that this blog isn't the escape that it used to be when I worked in an unrelated field.
Since a lot of my clients have found me through the blog, it's become an extension of my work, and therefore something that has come to feel as such rather than something fun and different from what I did everyday. The drive to read has been steadily decreasing for me as a result, so over the past year I've dropped down from 3 reviews a week to 2 just to keep up, but even with that change I'm still having some trouble getting posts together each and every day.
Long story short (sort of?), I'm going to start posting just 4 days a week instead of 5 temporarily, giving myself Mondays off from blog responsibilities to focus more on work. Once I get caught up a bit more I'll bump it back up because I love this blog and this community, but for now I'm granting myself this small break. I'll have reviews on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a WoW meme on Wednesdays, and a Flourish post, tour stop, or interview on Fridays.
So many of you have left amazingly supportive comments when I've had to admit to not having posts prepared here and there recently, and I can't tell you how much they mean to me! I can't help but put pressure on myself to deliver content each day, but I need to cut back just a touch so I don't burn myself out entirely:)
Talk to you all tomorrow!
