Where have I been?

So…no content last week…

I’m super bummed as I really was hoping to have a consistent posting schedule and continue to add new content several days a week. I know the only way to grow is to keep putting posts out there so people keep coming back. But..my full time job is teaching and we just ended one semester and started a new one, so life has been a little hectic. I’ve still been reading, but not quite as quickly as I had been earlier this month (more on what I’ve been reading in a minute).

So my plan moving forward? I’m going to try to spend time working on the blog over the weekend and schedule at least 2 posts per week for now. I’d love to say 3, but I want to be realistic and focus on consistency until I figure out the best schedule for me. I’m thinking Tuesday/Thursday posts at least for the month of February and then I will reevaluate. I’ve also created a twitter account, so that I can link to new blog updates once they post. I’ve never had a Twitter account (so I’m learning that platform too), but please follow me @doyoureadmeblog if you want to hear when a new post goes live on the blog 🙂

As far as what I’m currently reading? I shared in my last post that I have been focused on reading ARC copies of books that I received for review purposes. I am trying to establish myself as a reviewer, so I need to keep my read to request ratio high in order to appeal to publishers. Many of the books do not come out until this spring or summer, so I will be posting reviews of those books closer to publication. That way you can pick them up after you read the review and you don’t have to wait.

BUT….I will say if you are a BOTM member who hasn’t selected their books for February or just a person who likes to pre-order books GO ORDER You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. Their first book, The Wife Between Us was one of my all time favorites (I gasped out loud in the middle at the twist) and this one did not disappoint! I found it a little more predictable in some aspects than their previous two books, but it was a fast paced read with zero foul language!! LOVED IT! Anyway, more on that book later when it debuts at the beginning of March, but it is a BOTM choice this month if you want to grab it early. (I read the ARC and still added it to my box 😉 )

Right now, I have 4 ARC books to review, so this week will consist of two more posts with my Top 5 Reads of 2019. I hope to have some new reviews to share with you all next week! Happy Reading everyone!
