This Week's Book Blogger Hop Question:
Have you ever thought about taking a break from blogging/Booktubing? If you have, how long was the break and what did you learn from it? (submitted by Danielle @ PoetryBooksYA)
My Answer:
I never wanted, but I took a long involuntary break. I was traveling and was not posting anything and then it was just difficult to get back. I had a huge pack of books to overview and I guess I was lazy, but in the end I could not stay any longer away from the blog.

A convenience store is a world of sounds.My 56:
When something was strange, everyone thought they had the right to come stomping in all over your life to figure out why. I found that arrogant and infuriating, not to mention a pain in the neck. Sometimes I even wanted to hit them with a shovel to shut them up, like I did that time in the elementary school.Outline: This is the book about the woman who works in a convenience store and loves it. But in the modern society it is difficult to understand a person who is satisfied with a part-time low paid job. And every one was still trying to "cure" her. It is a quick read and a bit upsetting.
I like those excerpts, and I feel infuriated on behalf of the character. Judgy people are annoying.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine:
“I INVITED HER IN”
The book actually has a lot of philosophical ideas and social observations.
DeleteSounds interesting. I haven't heard of the book before. I am spotlighting Broken Homes by Ben Aaronovitch this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThank you.

ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWow, you took a break when you didn't want to. Fascinating! But at least you got back ok. Thanks for answering my question!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a question))
DeleteI did the same thing this past summer. I was traveling and really didn't have an opportunity to blog but had lots of time to read. So I ended up with about two months of books to review when I finally got back to the blog. I had to make myself a goal and a check-off sheet to review the sixteen books I was behind...but I did it. My Friday quotes come from Life on Mars
ReplyDeleteBut coming back is so difficult... It needs discipline)))
