It's official: I'm on hiatus

Hi everyone! You may (or may not) have noticed that I've been a bit MIA over the past month. Since Covid hit, I have struggled a bit with blogging and keeping up with everyone. A ton has happened over the past two years that has pulled me in different directions and moved my beloved blog to the back burner. Although I still love the community and all of my wonderful blogging buddies, I've spent the last month exploring new hobbies and finding new passions that are taking up quite a bit of my time. 

I'm still reading, but at this point it's mostly fanfiction with some audiobooks here and there. I've found my comfort area and right now it just feels good to live in that space. With all the uncertainty in the world, it's nice to have something familiar to fall back into. Unfortunately, reading 5000 stories about the same characters doesn't make for a great book blog. 

So, after eight wonderful years of blogging, I'm officially taking some time off. I don't know how much time but, after arguing with myself for awhile, I've come to the realization that it's okay to take a step back from something even after loving it for almost a decade. For the time being I'm planning to spend time pursuing some exciting new hobbies and fully letting myself enjoy fandom without constantly feeling guilty for not reading "real" books to keep up my blog. 

I love the book blogging community so much and I will forever be grateful because this was exactly what I needed at the time that I found it and you all have been one of the most important parts of my life for the eight years since. My domain just renewed so Cornerfolds will still be here for the next year and I feel like that gives me plenty of time to come back and get going again whenever I feel ready. 

In the meantime, I'll still be active on Twitter and my candle Instagram! I love all of you and I'm sure I'll be back soon!

A Very Merry Hiatus

Okay, so we know it's not technically Christmas anymore, but Christmas IS part of the reason we're going to be taking a short hiatus. We will be away from the blog until January 2nd while we spend the holidays with friends and family and try to get a quick recharge before coming back! We'll still be around on Twitter and possibly blog hopping, but posts will be at a standstill until next week. Thanks, everyone!

We're going on hiatus

Today I'm here to tell you something I never, ever thought I'd say: I'm going on hiatus.

I'm sure you may have noticed that things have gotten pretty quiet around here. This blog has been my baby for over three years and I hold it to a high standard, but there has been a lot going on in my life in the last several months and I've gotten to the point where I'm feeling too overwhelmed to commit right now. Try as I might, I haven't been able to maintain the quality of blogging I'd like to. As much as it saddens me, I'm going to have to take some time away to recharge and find my passion again.

MC and I have both discussed this and have agreed that we could both use the time off of blogging and we're currently planning to be back in a month. In the meantime, I'll probably still post a couple ARC reviews that I'm excited to share with you! I may pop in from time to time to comment and blog hop, but other than that I don't expect to post much new content.

Thank you all so much for sticking with me for the last three years and I can't wait to see you all again soon! I'll be around on Twitter if you need me!
