Hi guys, how is everyone? Happy Friday! This isn't my usual post, no review today. I just came on for a wee quick chat.
So, how are you all? Here in Scotland we're just starting to emerge from lockdown (although more slowly than in other parts of the UK), the vaccination process is going well, the sun is shining, The birds are singing and everything seems a bit brighter, a bit more hopeful. I hope it's the same where you are.
You might have noticed (or not, of course!) that I haven't been around very much recently - not on here nor on social media. At the end of last year, I decided that this year I would take part in less blog tours and share some reviews of my own books. Don't get me wrong, I've taken part in some brilliant blog tours and discovered wonderful books (and still am) but I wasn't getting round to the roomful of books I have at home and the 300 odd on my Kindle. So that was the plan.
Unfortunately, I am a little unwell again. I've been off work (but hoping to return ASAP) since the beginning of March with nausea and light-headedness (which appeared around the time of a bad migraine) and increased anxiety. There is no obvious medical cause for the nausea so it may be linked to the anxiety. I'm taking new additional meds and doing various things to help myself and things seem to be improving.
I'm telling you all this because the nausea is aggravated by so many things - walking, driving and screen time amongst them. So reviews have been difficult to write and social media harder to deal with. But bear with me, they will get up slowly - they might be shorter than usual, but perhaps that's a good thing! If it comes to it, I might end up posting a photo of a handwritten review, but hopeful I won't need to do that! 😂 I'll also be introducing a new occasional feature - Sorry Saturdays and Sundays, where I will be finally sharing reviews of books that were sent to me some months ago, in some cases over a year, and saying a big sorry to the author and/or publisher.
That's all for now. Posts might be a bit sporadic for a while until things improve but please hang in there with me. Big love to you all. ♥️ xx

Sorry to hear you're suffering Suze. It's not nice when you don't feel well. As regards the blog I think a lot of people have done a similar thing this year, myself included. I over committed myself last year and need to take a step away and my blog is taking a hit unfortunately. I need to find my passion for reading again as my mojo is definitely lacking at the moment. Lots of love to you, I hope you're feeling better soon. Nothing works properly until your body does so concentrate on your health as a priority - I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that though. Look forward to seeing you back when you're ready x
