First Post

Wow – didn’t think I’d be writing another introduction post but here goes….Hello, my names Melissa and welcome to my brand new blog!

For those who don’t know I’ve had a blog for the past few years but earlier in the year it started to get overwhelming so I went on a little bit of a hiatus. I found myself saying yes to absolutely everything even when I knew it most certainly wasn’t going to be something I liked. I found that writing my blog was becoming less enjoyable and it started to feel like an effort at times, then combined with the fact that I just didn’t have time to read which meant that I then felt like I had nothing to blog about. I love reading books and I don’t think that I’ll ever stop writing up my thoughts about what I read but I want the freedom to write about other things too if I wanted and I just didn’t feel like I could do that on my previous blog. I’ve also definitely learnt my lesson about saying yes to everything too!

I attended Summer In The City back in August and it sparked off my potential interest in tying my blog into a YouTube channel somehow. I need to put more thought into how or what I’d even do but it made sense to have the same username across all platforms so naturally it seemed to tie in perfectly with starting anew.

So here’s onto fresh starts. I’m going to start writing about things I want to about. Yes, I’ll still probably primarily be writing about books I’ve read but I’m looking forward to writing about other things I want to as well. As for the YouTube thing, I don’t know if I’d actually be any good at it but its all set up if I ever decide to use it but of course I’ll post if things ever happen on it.

As for now welcome to my blog both new and old readers! New posts hopefully coming on a weekly (ish!) basis!
