Hello lovelies! How are you? I feel like it’s been a while since I posted something, but it actually hasn’t even been a week yet! I took a little unplanned social media break/digital detox – just because it feels so good to disconnect sometimes. To have some time to think and read and write and just be – without distractions. But even though it’s only been a week I really missed blogging and reading all your wonderful posts! Which is maybe why this post is a little longer than usual, I’ve just been binge reading all your posts and loving it.
Marie @ Drizzle and hurricane books wrote a wonderful, honest and helpful post about how to stay positive as a book blogger and I think a lot of us needed to hear what she had to say. I know I did!
Malanie @ Malanie loves fiction recommended books for slytherins and it spoke to my Slytherin soul.
Rachel @ pace, amore libri shared her predictions for the Women’s Prize 2019 Longlist and as always, she added lots of books to my TBR.
Margaret @ Weird Zeal shared six thing she’s learned from blogging in celebration of her one year blog anniversary AND she’s hosting a reading challenge for Women’s History Month which I’m so excited to take part in.
Shri @ sun and chai wrote a super interesting and insightful post about the difference between male and female morally gray characters, and I agree with every word.
Rita @ Bookish Rita wrote a love letter to big books and as a fellow big book lover, I’m so here for it.
Beth @ Books Nest shared 9 ways to beat the instagram algorithm, and since I’m thinking of starting a bookstagram I found it very interesting!
Beth @ Reading Every Night wrote an absolutely beautiful review of Blanca & Roja.
Ren Strange @ Strangely Pop Cultured posted a list of her favorite Villainesses and my villain loving heart rejoiced.
Kathy @ Pages Below the Vaulted Sky wrote a wonderful review of The Wode, a Robin Hood retelling and now I really want to read it.
Sofii @ A Book. A Thought. shared her most surprising reads of 2018.
Brianna @ pearlbayou wrote a lovely post about what she calls book ripples: when one book leads you to another.
Ayunda celebrared Valentine’s Day with a beautiful post about different kinds of love in novels.
Acqua @ Acquadimore Books shared underrated favorites and now I want to read all of them.
I took a small break last month, and it did help me too to not be connected for a few days, with exams and all that was happening. But I missed my blog and screaming about books a lot and I don’t think I lasted a week either? Anyway, I’m glad you’re back, and thank you for linking my post!

If we miss our blog before it’s been a week, that must be a really good sign right? Thank you so much and you’re very welcome!

Thanks for sharing my post! And welcome back! I’m so bad at taking social media breaks even when I know it would be good for my mental health, it’s just so hard to bring myself to disconnect from everything!

You’re so welcome! And thank you! I’m honestly the complete opposite, I find it hard to stay connected sometimes. Even when I know that would be good for me.

I always love these posts! An unplanned social media break sounds like an absolute dream. I keep meaning to be better at not checking social media but then I’m naturally pretty bad at it anyway!
