Actually I am quitting in June at the end of the month. It will be for a very long break. Yes I think its great if a blog evolves over time because I totally understands the change that happens over blogging and with tastes changing. I would add them both , and have noticed that I following blogs that do both now.
Well my blog started as a family blog to let family members know what was happening. Then I made a few contacts and tried the mommy blogging thing. I did get to try some awesome events within my town to review, and made some wonderful friends. I even worked as a discussion leader for my Local ABC station with other moms. Then I made some contacts with some publishers and while doing the family/mommy ...I made the blog into a book review blog. My blog has changed over time like I have changed. I have learned that the I love the book blogging community more. I trust my friends for book reviews. I did move my personal family blog to a different platform , so I could try it out.
I think with Reading that tastes to change. I love reading sci fi and even fantasy , which I never would have imagined. I also have changed and blogging & book reviews used to be fun. Sometimes its a job , and other times its fun because the book has been amazing.
I have read some amazing books and met some amazing authors. This year has had some wonderful books.
Thanks Pam and Karen for this topic

ReplyDeleteEvolving is a natural process, it depends on how we translate that into our blog :)

Going to miss your blog, but I have to admit I have toyed with the idea of stopping for a while too. Sometimes I wonder if I just shouldn't stop because my posts have become infrequent due to the rest of my life being so chaotic lately. I love reading your reviews, and will miss them, but I can certainly understand. I wish you happiness with whatever you choose to pursue!
ReplyDeleteI completely understand taking a break! But I am happy that you will still be around on Twitter. :)
ReplyDeleteI understand, but will miss you terribly!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you Julie!!! You will be missed :)
ReplyDeleteMy reading tastes have also changed and evolved and it's amazing. I never would have picked up half of these books if it wasn't for this community!
Well you say quitting in June but then later you say a break - I hope it really is just a break and not quitting for good! I only just recently found you!! *sniffles*
