I feel that is unfair to everyone. \u00a0 It is with this that you will see that most of my reviews are 3 and 4 stars on Goodreads and Amazon.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m sure your wondering what my point is.\u00a0 Well, I am getting there.\u00a0 I have decided to take a small hiatus in reviewing books that are being requested of me.\u00a0 Due to the abundance of requests I have had over the last two years I haven&#8217;t been able to do much reading just for my enjoyment.\u00a0 This is not to say that I haven&#8217;t enjoyed the books I have reviewed.\u00a0 I have found many new and fantastic authors.\u00a0 Authors that have honored me by coming back to me for all of their books.\u00a0 That is truly what makes this fun.\u00a0 But, as anyone will tell you everyone has their TBR list and mine hasn&#8217;t been touched in a VERY long time.\u00a0 I actually had a great opportunity to meet many of the authors on my TBR list and I felt a bit ashamed that I hadn&#8217;t read their stuff yet.\u00a0 So, it is this small hiatus that I will be tackling some of those books\/book series&#8217; on my list.<br \/>\nYou will still be hearing from me.\u00a0 I plan on reviewing all of those books.\u00a0 These will probably be more mainstream authors that many of you have read or plan on reading.\u00a0 Starting in August I will be back to my requested reviews and discovering new indie authors and some you will from previous reviews.<br \/>\nI promise this is a small summer hiatus and before you know it I will be back to all my new and wonderful indie authors.<br \/>\nThank you all for understanding and please feel free to still contact me about books you find interesting, would like me to review or just want to share.\u00a0 I just can&#8217;t guarantee I will get to them til fall.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/minionquotes4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2900\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/minionquotes4.png?w=300\" alt=\"Minion+Quotes+4\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/funny-books-characters-quote.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2901\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/funny-books-characters-quote.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"funny-books-characters-quote\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/f3326a4f0bd655e4040e6d6343648a18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2902\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/f3326a4f0bd655e4040e6d6343648a18.jpg\" alt=\"f3326a4f0bd655e4040e6d6343648a18\" width=\"236\" height=\"165\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/c720862a23453ea51e391b5fc63d9fbf.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2903\" src=\"https:\/\/bookmaven623.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/c720862a23453ea51e391b5fc63d9fbf.jpg\" alt=\"c720862a23453ea51e391b5fc63d9fbf\" width=\"236\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone!\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t done just a plain post in quite a while.\u00a0 I know that unfortunately I have been a bit inconsistent with things lately.\u00a0 I truly apologize to all of my readers and authors who have been so supportive these past few years.\u00a0 It has been a very hectic and busy Winter\/Spring.\u00a0 Between&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-random-thoughts-and-opinions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
