Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well. (And I apologise for the poll and feel free to skip if you'd like!)

I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed with life and my reading list lately. To keep things manageable and focus on my studies, I’m going to take a step back a little bit. I’ll likely need to cancel most of my remaining buddy reads for the year.
I’m not leaving entirely, though! I’ll still be semi-active here checking in at least once a week to catch up with you all and support your reviews. I’ll also still be over on booksta (@saranyaeatsbooks [in case you'd like to reach out!]), just at a much slower pace.

Thank you so much for understanding and for always being such a supportive community! You guys are the reason I survived last year, I can't thank you all enough! Love you always<3

Moché All shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well Saranya 🌿 you’re amazing


➦Paulette & Her Sexy Alphas It's all good, Sara. Make sure to carve out some time for yourself. Life can get hectic, and in the midst of everything, we often neglect our own well-being. Just so you know, I'm going to miss seeing you here.


Lily the Lilac ୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ Good luck on those studies Sara!! You'll ace them 💯😎

message 19: by Mika (new)

Mika When you feel overwhelmed or even stressed out a break or being on a semi-hiatus will restore your energy. So, take that slower pace with grace. I'm still around to see your amazing reviews even if you take a bit longer to write and publish them here. Focus on your studies and stay hydrated in this hot weather! You can do it, Saranya!


lana ౨ৎ ( semi ia ) stopp i actually got scared 😭 aww i’ll miss you so much bb !! it’s definitely so understandable and the right thing to do xx
please take care and wishing you all the best you deserve it 💕
ilyyy goodreads won’t be the same without your reviews and comments 🥹


Gabriela (catching up) I hope school is going well for you and you get the rest and time you need to study! Sometimes a break from certain parts of life is necessary and self care is so important. Sending hugs lovely 🫂❤️❤️


Brooke &#x1d717;&#x1d71a; Take your time, love! GoodReads isn’t going anywhere. It’s more important for you to focus on yourself. I’ll see you on Instagram! 🫶🏼
