April Wrap-Up

Hey all, Sam here.

So I finished…10 books in April. That’s honestly not bad at all, although it is still lower than what I’m used to. When I was really dialed in to my reading and blogging, so around 2018-2019, I was reading something like 20 books each month, and posting something like 45 posts per month. It was amazing and ridiculous….and I ended up suffering some major blogging burnout. And I also had a nearly two year long reading slump…where I read around 80-90 books in a year as opposed to my normal 200+.

I’m still working on getting back to my old reading habits again, and I can feel that I’m improving…but I’m still really struggling with getting back into blogging like I used to. I had actually thought about migrating from this blog to a BookTok account, because it seems like there’s more activity over there…but then the whole TikTok ban law got passed, so now I don’t even know if it would be worth it to try and build something there when our access to the app could be gone in less than a year.

I don’t know.

Anyway, let’s do a quick run down of everything I read in April.
