Book Blogger Hop; Taking a Break From Blogging?

It's Friday again, which means it's time for another Book Blogger Hop post, courtesy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "Have you ever thought about taking a break from blogging/Booktubing (if you're a Booktuber)? If you have, how long was the break and what did you learn from it?".
It has been times when I considered taking a break from blogging, and even quit, but I decided not to. Even though I love blogging about books, there was times when I was a bit sick and tired of "everything" related to the blog and I felt uninspired to continue. Even though I didn't take a break, I at least learned to not pressure myself too much in terms of the blog and also do the blogging stuff I thought was fun. There's no point in blogging, if the fun is lacking and it feels like a chore.

    That's true, that if it feels like a chore, then it's not worth it. Thanks for answering my question.

    That's so true. It should never feel like a burden. I so a lot of forward planning with my blog, to keep the pressure down as much as possible.

      Planning helps out A LOT. I should keep my mouth shut, as I have around 2 months worth of blog posts to keep the pressure down. :-P

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
