So I am late posting this, but I wasn’t even sure I was going to. This month has been very tough for me mentally. I have been so overwhelmed with everything and I have taken a “mental” beating by someone trying to be a bully. My brain has been at capacity with everything that has been going on. I have been all over place with the mini one and her skiing and I have just felt jaded. I had to make the decision to pull out of my tours I am on, which has made me feel incredibly guilty as I know what it’s like to be let down on tours. I am still going to be reading them but I won’t make my post date sadly.
I have also been toying also whether to quit blogging completely or not and I am still on the fence, and to be honest, that makes me incredibly sad. I know I have withdrawn myself from the community, and I have just struggled to find time for me.
As I write this, I haven’t picked up my kindle in 4 days. I have lost my love for the written word, because i just can’t take anything in. And books are my salvation, so this is what I find incredibly tough.
I found it hard too mentally with my knee. I am still waiting for an op date. I am noe however back in physio – well they call it ACL rehab, but it means I haven’t been forgotten. Just feel like this is being dragged out longer!
But it’s a new month, new day and I will find a way back. I don’t want to drag on about it.
Anyhoo, I did read some books in September! I also got a lot of books – urgh!
So what did I read this month?
My Stats for September were :
Book Total | |
---|---|
Starting figure as at 1st September 2023 | 562 |
September Acquired | 5 |
September read | (9) |
Total to read on Net Galley as at 30th September 2023 | 557 |
Starting Ratio as of 1st September 2023 | 38% |
End Ratio as of 30th September 2023 | 39% |
Target ratio by 31st December 2023 | 40% |
39%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I managed to get myself up to the 39%. Only 3 months to go and no mojo – this should be interesting!
September I acquired 5 books – all tours!!
Reviews posted on Net Galley = 9 reviews – I am quite impressed with this!
Well I may or may not be back next month.
Hope you had a good month!
Until next time xxx

I’m sorry you’re having such a rough time, lovely. I know the feeling of books not being your usual salvation because you don’t have the brain space to process them, and it’s the worst feeling. My DMs are always open if you need to talk. Hang in there, Zoé, they’re clichés but it’s true it’s always darkest before the dawn and this too shall pass xx
