DISCUSSION | The Pressures of Book Blogging

I tweeted about her blog, how autumnal, bookish and inspirational her posts are. I would love to grow my blog like hers and she said ‘The most important thing is to enjoy blogging, right?’ It was a bit of an eye-opener that, I feel I’ve lost some of the love I used to have for it at the beginning of my blogging. I’ve had my struggles sometimes, with some occasional negative thoughts about blogging that has […]

Hello Book Friends, 1st of June and I’m on a roll with my wrap-up post this month. The last week I’ve been on half-term, I’ve been reading but not that much in the mood for blogging.
