Stacking The Shelves #135 & Sunday Post #99



I am combining two great blog hops:  Stacking The Shelves (a Saturday feature by Team Tynga's Reviews), and Sunday Post (a Sunday feature by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer).  Both of these features give people a chance to post about what books they received and also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what others are excited about.  I really enjoy seeing everyone's version of these features!   All book covers are linked to Goodreads, if you want to check them out.  If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me via Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, GFC, or by email subscription.  If you leave a comment and tell me you are a new follower, I will follow you back! 

On The Blog:

I did not do any blog posts this past week except for last week's book haul.  Instead, I was busy writing several book reviews for advance reviewer copies of books that will post in the next few weeks.  So I'm starting to feel pretty good about getting ahead of my posts in order to free up my time for writing during November.

In Real Life:
In the past three months, so many awful things have happened to friends of mine, that I am having a hard time having a positive outlook on life.  When I go on Facebook, all I seem to read are people attacking each other.  So, with the exception of posting my book reviews, I am going to take some time off Facebook.  I need positivity in my life!

What do you do to stay positive?  I would love to get some ideas.

  2. I had to start blocking people on FB, even family...negativity must be avoided!

    I hope you enjoy your upcoming week; I love the look of Summer at the Garden Cafe. Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

  3. I respect your decision. I have stopped being on FB other than to post on my blog's page. I do not need to have that kind of peer pressure and negativity any more.

  4. Sounds like a great decision. I don't post often on Facebook and have always tried to ignore its drama. Hope you get a well deserved break.

  5. I think Facebook can be toxic, and try to just go on to check on things, get author updates etc, but make it a point to only go on occasionally. Glad you are getting ahead on the reviews. It really does make blogging enjoyable.
