Lex Kent added a status update
I just wanted apologize for not being around much. After being sick, I caught a bad reading slump. I think after 6 years, with around 1600 books read/reviewed that I finally burnt out and needed a break. Luckily, I think it worked because I'm now reading again and I feel like I want to read more. I’m sorry for being behind in my reviews but I’m working on it and I look forward to catching up with all of you soon:)

Statum We are glad you are back Lex! It has been a bit. However, we are all allowed to take a break whenever we need it. Take are of yourself.

AnnMaree Of Oz No worries, you take care mate! Hope you're feeling better! I admit to feeling slumpy myself!


message 3: by Guerunche (new)

Guerunche Nice to see you here again, Lex! And hey - there’s certainly no need to apologize. Caring for yourself is the most important thing.


message 4: by Lex (new)

Lex Kent Statum- Thank you so much! It means a lot and I can't wait to catch up with everyone:)

AnnMaree- Thank you kindly! I'm getting there and the break seems to have helped. I've been just been off ever since being sick and it being winter here, up north in the US, sure doesn't help. I hope you are feeling better soon too:)

I appreciate it. I was getting kind of burned out at the end of the year, but I thought I got past it but I was wrong and I just delayed things. I need reading to be fun and what I love, not a chore.


message 22: by Lex (new)

Lex Kent Melissa- You are too kind:)

Rosi- Thanks, I appreciate you:)

message 30: by KarenC (new)

KarenC Same for me! I just didn't feel like reading the past few weeks, but I broke the dry spell with Two Knights Tango. You're the one who brought Queen of Humboldt to my attention in 2020, and this was a very worthy follow-up!


message 31: by Lex (new)

Lex Kent Karen- I'm reading that one soon myself so I'm really glad to hear that and congrats on getting out of your slump:)
