That is a great question! I hope I am back! Right at this moment, I’m back!
I have been gone from blogging for what seems like forever. I honestly got frustrated and overwhelmed by blogging last time I tried and just knew it wasn’t the right time to come back and wasn’t sure if I ever would. The frustration came from how bloggers are treated by a lot of the YA community and publishers sometimes as well. It just felt like if you weren’t a Youtuber or now a Tiktoker than you weren’t as relevant. However, I don’t blog to be famous or known, I blog because I love books and I love the community and it’s just a great outlet for me. I think I really needed the long break, but I’m feeling motivated to try and get back into things.
I also co-created TBR and Beyond Tours, which is a book tour company and that has been going so well – we never thought we could be as successful at it as we have been and it’s been amazing. It’s also been taking up a HUGE amount of my time but I’ve loved every minute of it. So, along with that andddd being the lead admin over on Facebook’s TBR and Beyond’s Book Club – it’s just been a crazy busy time!
I have NO idea what my schedule will look like, I’m coming back in with a “see how I feel” kind of attitude and I just want to blog without putting super strict guidelines on myself – just blog because I love it and want to have fun with it again.
I have so many blog posts ideas, so now I just have to focus myself and really get my ass in gear and start writing some! Ugh, I also have to get used the newer layout on WordPress – it was just coming in when I left and now I’m figuring stuff out again LOL
Anyway, I’m excited to blog again and excited to catch up with all you lovely book people!
So glad you’re back!

Welcome back! ❤ I feel this post big time. I'm slowly trying to come back right now, and like you, it's just on a "when I feel like it" basis, which has honestly felt good so far. I hope it's feeling good for you, too!

I’m still kind of figuring stuff out and if it’s really for me. I think if I stop this time around then I’ll be done for good. Right now I’m still on the fence but I am starting to enjoy it. It’s a lot of work though getting back into things and re-introducing myself to the blogging community and whatnot.
