I'm almost done with my January reviews and the last of my January reads, This Dark Road to Mercy by Wiley Cash, was my absolute favorite. But, for some reason I've hit the wall and can't get myself to write a review of it (or anything else). It must be time for a little break. What Hawaiian chickens have to do with a break is beyond me. I was going to put a word bubble next to that front chicken, "I think I'll go that way for a while," but I couldn't remember which photo-editing website I've used to do that. Just imagine the chicken is me, going off in another direction for a time, okay?
Besides the Wiley Cash book (which I am dying to tell you about, when I can get myself to write, again), I was due to write a tour review of this book by the 8th of February:
Shadowed by Grace by Cara Putman is a fictional tale about a photographer in search of her father and her encounter with the Monuments Men (whom you've no doubt heard about because a movie about them is being released, this week). I'm still reading the book, enjoying it and will write a review of it as soon as I can but there's no way I'll be done with it by tonight. My apologies to the publisher for not finishing before the end of the tour.
I'm hoping some times away from the computer will refresh my urge to write book reviews. I'll just stay away till the urge to spill about books returns. Usually, it's just a matter of days but I can never say, for sure.
See you soon!

Enjoy your blogging break!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly!
DeleteAww the blogging break. We all need them occasionally.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this may be a longer one than I anticipated. Still no urge to write, although I come up with great ideas the moment my head hits the pillow. They're naturally gone by morning. LOL
DeleteHawaiian chickens crack me up. They were all over Kauai when we were there.
ReplyDeleteYeah, same here. These were on Oahu.
DeleteLove your chicken talking idea! I imagined it just fine. I know just what you mean. I think in my case it is what I call 'Grammy brain.' I have a zillion things I want to write about but can't seem to do it. Look forward to you coming back.
ReplyDeleteHa! I love it! I do have a million things to do, so that might be a part of it but sometimes I write every day for a while and then all of a sudden one day I just come to a halt and I could stare at the monitor all day without writing a thing. I think that may be the case, right now - too many posts in recent weeks, just need to step away.
DeleteSounds like it is INTERVIEW time! Take a break, catch some sunshine. When you can't stand not to tell somebody about a wonderful book, you'll likely find the fingers typing gaily across the keyboard.
ReplyDeleteMaybe so. I've been resisting the self-interview and hacking away at a single review for days. Still would be perfectly happy staying away from the computer, even though I've loved several of the books I've recently read. Sunshine is good. :)
