I should be saying hello and welcome to everyone, and posting an update. But, I have decided that as much as I enjoy reading and reviewing, I am struggling with the Blogging part of the process.
After 8 years and over 1,800 posts, and with the yearly renewal due, I have made the decision to put Me And My Books on pause for the time being. Some of you may be aware that I have been struggling to find the time, but when I sit down and think about it all, it is this side that I find tiring.
I am all good with the world and within myself, but I just need to step away for a while. I will then see if I miss this side of the reading and reviewing, in which case I will come back to it. But, I have found it refreshing to just write a few reviews on Goodreads, Amazon, and that’s it. Not setting up posts, checking tags, hashtags and all the other gumph that goes into running a Blog.
So, for now, I am going to say a massive and huge THANK YOU to everyone who has followed me, reacted to, shared and commented on my posts over the last 8 years. I wish you all the very best and see you around.

See you around,
Yvonne xx

Take a break Yvonne. I look forward to seeing you back when you feel able. Take care. 💖📚

I hear you loud and clear, girl. I’m in the same boat. I took an unplanned break and now I can’t seem to be able to get back to it. And I am not entirely sure I still want to either.
I’m glad you’re doing well, even if you have little time. Hope to see you around and that life treats you well. 😘

Sorry to see you go! But I know what you mean about the amount of work involved and when it starts to get in the way of just enjoying your reading, then a break is a good idea. However, selfishly I hope you’ll soon find yourself missing blogging and be back! Meantime, thanks so much for all the great reviews on your blog, and the likes and shares you’ve given mine over the years. Best wishes – have fun!
