Back From My Much Needed Break

Do you know what's weird?

I felt like it had been MONTHS since my last post. Seriously.

Nope, it's only been a little over two weeks.

I took an unplanned break from blogging and I am okay with that. That never happens, so I'm rolling with it.

So where have I been?

Every single website you can think of EXCEPT my blogging site, Bloglovin and Twitter.

It's like I was on a blogging timeout or something. Basically, for the last several month or so, my interest in reading waned a bit. Not just waned. No, no. I had zero interest in it.

I have only read three books this month and that is so weird for me. I wasn't sure if it was me or the books. But even when I was reading great books (The Winner's Kiss, for instance), I still couldn't force myself to read. For the past month, the only reading I have done is the fifteen minutes or so before bed. And the lack of interest in reading translated to a lack of interest in blogging. It was kind of hard to drum up ideas for discussion posts about books or top ten posts about books when I had almost no interest in books. And since I was barely reading, what was I going to review?

Somehow, I didn't think you guys would be interested in a blow by blow review of some of the TV shows I have been watching lately. Or maybe you would be more interested in the recipe for the AMAZING flourless pumpkin chocolate chip muffins I made this week. Doubtful.

(If you do want the recipe, you can find it here. Credit for this picture also goes to that site.)

One thing I have been doing was constantly surfing Pinterest and drooling over all the many, many pumpkin recipes. And I have probably pinned about a million different muffin recipes. My cravings have been intense.

But the other day, it was like a light bulb went off in my head. Suddenly, I was actually in the mood to read and the book I picked was a funny one that held my attention so that helped. Then I decided that I wanted to blog again. Just like that. So here I am.

I appreciate all of my followers and I just wanted to let you guys know that I am here and well and I am enjoying reading once again! I will be posting some stuff next week. I just have to catch up on my reviews. I have eight books I have read since the beginning of September that I have not reviewed yet. Oops! Hope I remember the important stuff. And if you suddenly see me commenting on about a dozen very old posts or responding to blog comments you made weeks ago, it's just me catching up. I do love reading your blogs so I am looking forward to adding to my TBR even more now that I have my love of reading back.

So what have you been up to over the last two weeks? Do you like everything pumpkin or is it just me? Have you ever had spurts where you had zero interest in reading?
