Hey everyone! This is just a quick post to let you know I'm taking November off from blogging. I've taken a break from blogging and social media before, but in the past they were unplanned so I didn't have a chance to announce it or talk about it until I got back. November has been…

Two weeks ago, I posted a thread on Twitter with some advice for people who are new to Bookstagram or just want help getting started. I decided to adapt that thread into an actual post, just in case this might be relevant to other people. Please keep in mind these are only a few suggestions…
I just wanted to provide an update about my blogging schedule. At the beginning of the year, I wrote a post about my spring schedule. The goal I had in mind with this schedule was that it would give me flexibility, keep me accountable, and give me time to plan ahead. Since that post, I've…
