When it comes to reading I am very adventurous … I even throw in some YA at times. I just LOVE romance, the build-up, the courting the wooing the growth of a relationship, I like a Low Angst, NO Drama Romance and lots of Spice of course!
If it’s got romance in it, I’ll most likely read it.
15 + years ago, I began a blogging journey. Over the years I have changed with the times, it started with goodreads, opened a blog and then Facebook, And then Instagram. The one thing I didn’t follow the trend with was go to TikTok. I love Instagram, IG works for me because I love photos, graphics and short and sweet captions but then the dirty A word happened ! Yes 🙌 that word ALGORITHM it shitted all over our feeds. Everything went to shit, and IG became difficult. Let’s be honest some of us, me included were disheartened because as bloggers have been here for such a long time putting in countless hours and for then the new era off content creation to come along and just push us aside, some accounts were overnight sensations. With gaining 10k followers within days and for some of us it took years and years to gain that level of followers or success which ever way you want to see it.
When the TikTok drama happened, and it was gone for some. I’ve always said to my friends and family when it comes to Fb, IG, we don’t own this space. We are literally renting that space for free in a way. What happens if the plug gets pulled tomorrow, we lose everything. I knew I should have started a newsletter or brought life back into my blog. But when the plug was pulled on TikTok, it actually happened! For like 24 hours lol it made me think, 🤔 shit! I really need to go back to my roots, I’m not the best at words and weaving them into the greatest paragraphs, I’m not the best speller, I am simple. Sometimes I use Canva to help me along when I can’t get my brain to figure out what I’m trying to say. I am really excited to be back blogging again. Nervous too. It’ll be interesting, that’s for sure.
When I started this journey 15 + years or so ago my children were babies, literally babies. Now they are all adults, or what I like to call them baby adults until they are 21 they still have their training wheels on, lol I still have my littlest though Ella she’s 13 now a teenager.!
So I wanted to say Hey Besties, book lovers I am back kinda, I never really went anywhere I just got very comfortable on instagram. But I missed this, writing and talking. I have plenty to talk about trust me! I just have a lot to say. If you have any suggestions for me or questions please feel free to ask me, reach out I’m super friendly and I love to chat.
I will forever love IG, but that place has changed and I knew I needed a change. So here we are. I am here and I really do hope we can create our own little community a safe space that we can chat all things books, crochet, knitting and cozy games. I secretly want to start a bookish, crafting podcast, that would be a dream. I will leave it here for now and check back in soon.
