Hey there! Can you believe it's already the end of April? It feels like it's been ages since I last uploaded a blog post. I just checked, and it's been a whole year! Time really does fly by. It's funny because when I first started this blog, I promised myself I would post regularly and share my thoughts on the books I've been reading. But, as you can see, that didn't last long.

Anyway, I've been doing some reflecting. It's not always easy to find the time to read, but when I do, I'm always blown away by how much I gain from it. The more I read, the more I learn about myself, people, and the world around me. It's been amazing to explore new authors and diverse genres too. I've found that being open-minded with my reading choices has been incredibly enriching.

I am so grateful to have come across Elizabeth Strout, Isabelle Allende, and Lily King this year. Their books have left a lasting impact on me. I can't even describe how much their writing has meant to me.

Thanks to Bookstagrammer's reviews and posts on Instagram, I discovered some incredible writers that have completely changed my reading experience. I owe that experience to the Bookstagram community for bringing those books to my attention. A message to all the Readers, Bookstagrammers, and writers: Keep doing what you're doing, and never underestimate the impact your words can have on someone else's reading journey.

It's incredible to think that something as simple as a book review recommendation, a quote, or just a conversation about books, can lead to such profound experiences for others.

I may not have been able to keep my promise to post regularly, but my reading journey has been such a valuable experience. I'm constantly discovering new authors and books that I absolutely adore. Maybe I'll surprise myself and come back with more blog posts soon!

May your reading journey evolve with every page you read.

Sincerely,

Diana

    Hey friend! I, like you, told myself I'd write often on the blog and haven't in I don't even know how long...thought I'd get back to it and took advantage to pop by yours. Loved this post! I've been on such a hamster wheel with everything in my life, I'm not even sure what I've read this year or last...your post inspired me to stop for a minute and think about it, possibly pick some different books (well, it inspired me to make a note to do so haha). Allende has been on my list for the longest time and her books just sitting on my shelves untouched. Which Lily King did you read? I have a feeling we chatted about it on IG but can't remember now...loved Writers & Lovers! Hope you're well, healthy and happy! xo @the_nomadreader
