It is difficult and challenging keeping up with a blog and bloghopping. It takes a huge commitment and I honestly must confess that I totally understand your decision. Without going into details, I have experienced pressures that have made me consider a blog break. I wish you well...good luck and happiness most of all in whatever you do. <br />Take care...always, Wisteriawisteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620398484256424032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-77049711562326903902010-05-04T21:01:31.986-05:002010-05-04T21:01:31.986-05:00*JT Oldfield - Nope, not leaving completely. :)
...<b>*JT Oldfield</b> - Nope, not leaving completely. :)<br /><br /><b>*Claire</b> - I was so sad that I couldn't participate in the readathon last month. And ya, trying to blog guilt free is sometimes difficult.<br /><br /><b>*Bonnie</b> - I'll still be blogging about books, but because I'm reading slower I don't have much to post about these days. Too many other things! :)<br /><br /><b>*Heather</b> - Glad you're still going to do the NFF challenge!! And don't be sad.<br /><br /><b>*Susan</b> - Blogging IS hard work, isn't it? Glad you're still at least reading--I haven't been doing much of that this year. :/<br /><br /><b>*Joanna</b> - I've noticed that since you had Shane your blogging has gone down. I think sometimes priorities just change a little bit. Reinvention isn't a bad thing, I don't think.<br /><br /><b>BlackSheep</b> - So far pretty stress free, but I haven't started blog hopping a whole lot yet. I'm easily overwhelmed by the wealth of reading everyone else is doing. :)<br /><br /><b>*Melissa</b> - I can totally understand not wanting to let go of the book blog--it was really hard to let this one go and even though I'm still blogging on a much smaller level (not reading as much so not posting as much) I feel like I'm not as much a part of the community anymore. That makes me really sad, but there's only so many hours in the day. Hope you find a medium that makes you happy and hugs back to you.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-53914614489821028072010-05-01T17:11:09.613-05:002010-05-01T17:11:09.613-05:00Hi Trish! I can completely understand where you ar...Hi Trish! I can completely understand where you are coming from. I've found myself in a similar place recently. I've been horrible about blog-hopping and haven't been posting nearly at the level I used to. Burnout can happen all too easily. Your book blog was among the first I discovered and I have enjoyed reading your thoughts, reviews, and everything else!<br /><br />And while I do feel badly about my lack of participation in the community lately, I am also getting to the point where perhaps I am just blogging (and reading) for myself now, I'm not really sure. I've actually gotten back more to my personal blog and have even toyed around with a weight loss blog of late. I still love to read, but somehow the inspiration to blog about it just isn't quite as strong. I've even pondered hanging up my hat at Melissa's Bookshelf, but part of me just doesn't want to let go of over a year of book reviews, new friendships, book discoveries, and so much more.<br /><br />I will indeed check out your other blog and look forward to hearing about what you are up to, and any good books you might have come across lately. Big hugs!!Melissa O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13068354108178290445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-78004790796302169432010-04-26T00:07:46.292-05:002010-04-26T00:07:46.292-05:00I'll be following you to your new blog along w...I'll be following you to your new blog along with everyone else.

I've been having similar thoughts recently, just because reading can't be as big a part of my life as it used to be and I don't feel that I can really blog about anything else just yet... although maybe it's time to re-invent my blog? Anyway, I'll be over at your new place for sure, the blogosphere just wouldn't be the same without you!!!joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952558113054391317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-76104106990942154602010-04-18T11:33:09.599-05:002010-04-18T11:33:09.599-05:00I'm glad your keeping blogging1 I'll come...I'm glad your keeping blogging1 I'll come find you there. It is hard work, isn't it? I find I don't blog nearly as much any more. I'm not sure why. I'm reading as much as ever....but so much has happened over the last year that personally I've had to withdraw from blogging so much while i make sense of everything. So I understand, and I am glad you are going to be blogging about what interests you.

My husband said, keep the blog, you don't have to visit everyone. But it makes me feel so guilty!

We'll see. :)<br /><br /><b>*Megan</b> - I think it's the pace that I was having troubles with. There is so much pressure to review and to review a lot. I know it is personal but I always felt like I had to keep up with the others-this way I can just move at my own pace. <br /><br /><b>*Porcelaine</b> - Thanks for your words of encouragement--I like the idea of an inevitable evolution in the journey! :)<br /><br /><b>*JoAnn</b> - Yes, still around--just in smaller doses. Funny enough I can be found on twitter more than anywhere else!<br /><br /><b>*Christina</b> - Oh thank you! I feel blessed to have found such a place in the community and I hope that I don't completely lose that with the move to something more personal.<br /><br /><b>*Kim</b> - It's very tough to take something so (relatively) large and move to something so small but I think the change of pace will be nice.<br /><br /><b>*Debi</b> - Love you, too, Deb and thanks for all your support and friendship. Like I've said before--you've partly inspired me to move in this direction. Very excited!<br /><br /><b>*Trisha</b> - My goodness, thank you! Isn't it funny how something so small can turn into something so large? I'm glad that via me you've found your way into this community--it really is amazing, isn't it? And I do think it's easy to lose sight of why you're doing something--hopefully this move will bring me back on track. <br /><br /><b>*Amused</b> - Thank you. :) I'll still be around...just on a smaller scale.<br /><br /><b>*Kay</b> - Thanks for the hugs and support. It's a very scary but also exciting transition--hopefully it will keep things fresh!<br /><br /><b>*Dar</b> - I've learned that I really do love blogging--I just need much less pressure. But I also want to focus on so many other aspects of life other than just books. Hopefully this will give me the outlet to do so. Hugs! Thanks for being such a great support.<br /><br /><b>*Melody</b> - I'll miss this blog, too.
