My Reading Rush TBR (To Be Read)!
Hi everyone! The Reading Rush (previously known as booktubeathon) is a readathon running from 22nd-28th July 2019. There are a bunch of reading challenges and there are badges awarded for each challenge (and some extra criterion) that you can get on the website. Here are the books that I am planning on reading for The Reading Rush. They are all mangas because I am getting back into reading mangas and graphic novels (I will still be reading fiction books too) and as I will be busy during The Reading Rush, I felt that mangas were a perfect fit for me!
Life/Blog Update June 2019
Hi everyone! I have some important things to get out and I wanted to update you all on what is going to be happening.
Mental Health
Firstly, an update on my mental health. As some of you may know I have been slowly coming off of my medication for depression and anxiety after having made a lot of progress. At first I didn't really notice a difference but as time went on, I started to feel some dips in my mood and some returning symptoms. I am working hard to battle these with the tools that I have learnt from therapy.
Blog
This leads me into an update on my blog. So recently my blog and social media has been creating negative feelings in some aspects for me. Some aspects have disappointed me and because of how invested I am in all of this, it has made me feel bad. So I am taking a bit of a step back from parts of blogging. I am going to be posting book reviews because I intend to read a lot more and I want to share these books with you all. I will be sharing other posts too. I am still going to be fairly active on Twitter and I am going to be posting on Instagram and just see how it goes. I have got to a time where I need to do things more for myself, for my own fulfilment, happiness and relaxation. If something is making me feel negatively then I need to tackle that.
Reading
I love reading. It is just an amazing experience. It is relaxing and fun and gives my mind something different to think about. I am aiming to read a lot more often, every day if I can. I want to read more YA contemporaries, YA mysteries and fantasies so if you have any recommendations please let me know!
