The Secret

Reviews | April 2019

April started off as a really good reading month, but ended up not being so great towards the end because that's when I went into a reading slump that I couldn't really get out of it. I spent this month trying to catch up to my Goodreads goal so I read a lot of shorter books. It would've worked out if I kept it up but unfortunately, life had other plans. But, reviews! Reviews Bossman by Vi Keeland I don't know what it was about this book that didn't do it for me. I really thought this was going to be another one of those steamy books I love, but for the most part, it was okay. I think the past vs. present story line wasn't something I really enjoyed. While I get that the author was trying to show the tragic past of the male protagonist, I felt like it was dragged on too long. It could've been told as a prologue and then I would've felt more attachment seeing his side of the story as well. I found this to be a little predictable and overall meh in the sex...

Not sure.


I've been going back and forth with deleting this blog. Or I guess just abandon it. Since I decided to steer away from only book reviews, I have found myself not wanting to blog anymore. I used to almost feel obligated to post reviews and try and catch up on what I'd read recently. I do all my book talking on YouTube now and am still posting short incoherent thoughts over on Goodreads as well. But I don't feel like I have much to say in regards to anything else on my blog. There have been a few things here and there in my life where I felt I could talk about, but then I forgot about them and never actually got around to posting anything else.

So here I am, and I am not sure if I want to continue keeping this up. Part of me does, and part of me doesn't. I've had this space for so long that I can't imagine just deleting it. But then I also don't see myself keeping up with it and actually posting anything. So I am stuck in this in-between place where I kind of want to just leave it and say goodbye, and also attempt to revive it a little. Yet, I am not leaning more either way.

I felt a little inspired today though, to at least share these indecisive thoughts after seeing a YouTuber I've followed for years discuss her life and share an update + her new website blog thing. I felt like I could at least share this, this feeling of not being sure on how to continue with my readers. Although to be honest, most of my readers are now inactive and that 800+ subscriber number is very much a lie.

Anyways, I may or may not be here. I may or may not post personal stuff. I may just let this die out and wander back from time to time if I feel like it. Or I may just disappear from this blogging business once and for all. I am not sure.
