So I accidentally took a little hiatus at the end of December, but who can blame me? I’ve been so crazy busy with work and my private life, including three sick kitties just before Christmas, that once I went on holidays from my day job I didn’t even turn my computer on! Blogging just kind of ceased, but that’s OK, because I needed the break!

My blogging has been ON POINT this year, with multiple posts per week, a book review almost every week, loads of discussion posts and weekly prompts, tour posts, and book tags! I’ve been working so hard on my blogging in 2018 after having a disastrous reading year in 2017, and I’m pleased with the result.

I hope all my dear readers/kittens had a wonderful holiday period in 2018 and can start the New Year in 2019 refreshed and ready for more book content!

I’m really happy with my reading year this year. It’s a huge improvement on last year and shows how much more settled and in a routine I was compare to this time last year. My blogging had been consistent and I’ve really enjoyed keeping it up to date.

What was your reading year like? What do you have planned for 2019?
