Honestly, this month has been kind of slow for me. Not that I'm complaining. Last week I did go to see the comedian Jack Whitehall though (who was absolutely hilarious by the way)! My boyfriends mum ended up getting his dad tickets for his birthday and then me and my boyfriend decided we wanted to go as well, so just tagged along with them! Then the next morning they treated us to a Whetherspoons breakfast which was amazing ♥
Other than that I've just been blogging, reading and doing university work. I know. It's a wild life I lead. I will say though I feel like I'm kind of in a blogging slump (even though I'm not sure if this is a real thing). I just can't find the motivation to go to read other blogs at the minute. It's not good.

Overall I think I had a pretty good reading month for me. I think I might be in a reading slump at the moment though. I'm currently reading Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda but I just don't seem to be picking it up. I'm just not in the mood for reading right now. Hopefully the slump goes away soon!

How has your reading month gone? Any posts that I should know about? Link them below and I'll take a look!
Sorry you're in a reading and blogging slump. :( I hate when that happens. It does seem like you read a lot of fantastic books! I love the Mara Dyer trilogy! Simon vs. is a recent favorite for me so I hope you end up loving it too!
ReplyDeleteI know, it sucks but I think I'm slowly crawling out of it! I have read a lot of amazing books this month! I'm glad you like the trilogy, I can't wait to read the second book, I was so engrossed in the first one! And yes, simon vs is so good so far! It's so cute I can't deal with it! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYou look like you hd a grey reading month!! Sorry you are slumping blog and reading wise. Sometimes I just need a little break to get back into things. Hope it all picks up for you soon!! Have a great March!
ReplyDeleteYeah I really did! I think i'm slowly coming out of my slump. I'm reading simon vs the homosapiens right now and it's doing wonders to me!
DeleteI need to read My Heart and Other Black Holes! I keep forgetting I have it! I also need to get my hands on Holding Up the Universe since I love Jennifer Niven.
ReplyDeleteTake a few days to not blog, not read. Just clear your head and then get back to it :)

It was a really good read but also so raw and difficult! I'd really recommend holding up the universe though, I loved it! Yeah I took a little break, not completely, but less than I normally would! I'm feeling a bit better though so I think I'm slowly coming out of my slump!
DeleteIt looks like you had a really great reading month! February wasn't the best reading month for me, I ended up giving most of the books I read 3 stars or under. I hope your reading slump goes away. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, I hate when that happens, I'm actually having fairly good luck with books at the minute!
DeleteBlogging slumps are definitely real. There are times that you just can't convince yourself to get into the swing of things and you either need to take a step back or just push through it.
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Yeah, I think I'm powering through it. I just need to be in the right mood to blog otherwise I don't enjoy it and then what's the point? Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteDon't force yourself with reading and commenting on other blogs. Just go with your own pace and try not to feel guilty. It's perfectly understandable :) Also, I hope you get out of your possible reading slump. Can't wait to read your reviews on Caraval & The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think i'm getting back into commenting on other blogs actually. I think I just need to be in the right frame of mind for it really! Thank you, my caraval review is going up tomorrow!
DeleteI've seen good and bad reviews for 'Universe' and Caraval but the latter as well as The Fill-In Boyfriend is on my eventual TBR!
ReplyDeleteHope you find your blogging rhythm again, Kirsty. :)
Yeah, I've seen mixed reviews for caraval as well but I enjoyed it! Thank you, I'm getting there!
DeleteI'm in a bit of a book / blogging slump right now as well, so I totally feel your struggle! Hopefully you get out of it soon. :) Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous recap! <3
ReplyDelete~ Zoe @ Stories on Stage
It's awful isn't it, luckily I have a few posts in my drafts so I'm not panicking for content yet! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteEeep, slumps are the worst so i totally hope yours goes soon! I absolutely loved Holding Up the Universe, so I hope you did! :D And I still need to read Caraval hahah. My TBR is just growing ridiculously without permission these days.😂 And I forgot February only has 28 days too...I feel cheated. I so didn't get everything done omg.
ReplyDeleteI know! I think I'm coming out of it now though! I really loved holding up the universe, I ended up giving it 5 stars! I feel you on the tbr situation, I requested a load of books from netgalley thinking I wouldn't get many of them and then BAM. All these books at once...
DeleteSorry to hear you're slumpy. That happened to me in the beginning of February and thankfully it was short-lived. Simon Vs. is one of my favorites. I've listened to it on audio at least 3X and just adore it. Hopefully it's just bad timing for you and not the book. Little Peach was a sad one. I love Kasie West but haven't got to The Fill-In Boyfriend yet. My favorite by her is P.S. I Like You. Love that one!
ReplyDeleteTanya @ Girl Plus Books
Yeah it sucks! Yeah little peach was really sad and eye opening but I also felt a little underwhelmed with it. I'll have to check out p.s I like you because I really want to read some of her other books!
