I am sorry to see you go, but I completely understand. It is getting harder and harder to keep up and I've been contemplating cutting way back on blogging to. I just don't have the time and energy anymore with all that is going on in life. We'll miss you and I'll look forward to keeping up with you on goodreads and twitter. We'll see what next year brings for me - I may be joining you before too may more months.

I can definitely relate Drea. Glad you won't disappear completely. I enjoy reading your reviews and have discovered several authors and books through you. You'll definitely be missed on here :)Shane @ItchingforBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299725578226281943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-39899973671602321372014-11-11T15:31:55.614-08:002014-11-11T15:31:55.614-08:00Hugs, will miss you on the blog, but totally under...Hugs, will miss you on the blog, but totally understand!brandileigh2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01669251993917961293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-88575855076175406702014-11-10T19:31:29.259-08:002014-11-10T19:31:29.259-08:00As I've had less & less time to read for f...As I've had less & less time to read for fun, I understand how nice it is to take the time to enjoy a book.

It is nice to be able to sit back and just read what you want at your own pace. I think that brings the joy of reading back to us when we don't have to feel the pressure of getting it done. I will continue to see you around goodreads, even when your blog is going to be very missed.

I love reading and sharing my love of reading but our lives and our family, friends, pets, and work and other things are important too! Blogging is a huge time suck. I hope this brings you lots of free time to get back to other things you enjoy! Reading is more fun without the pressure to review and immediately start another book. Sometimes I enjoy just taking a week to think about the book I just read! I suggest you do keep the blog around though. You can always check in every once in a while. I've been just posting a review every week or a few a month and just kind of relaxing and I am loving blogging way more that way. Hope to see you around goodreads and twitter!

Although, ...I'm sooo sad to see you go, Andrea! Although, I'm not active in the blogging world either and haven't been for a long time, your blog is one of my favourites to go to. You always introduce the best steamy reads....and you started my OBSESSION with Kristen Ashley. Your passionate reviews...I sincerely adored them. But, I am also so proud (is that weird?? LOL! ;p) that you took this big step. I completely understand how RL can become an intruder sometimes, and honestly we started blogging to share our passion for reading, so when blogging turns our passion into a chore...what's the point?? I'm so happy that you will be able to read to your heart's desire without having to worry over things such as ARCs or meeting review deadlines. Sometimes reading just needs to be that....READING. I will definitely be seeing you around on GR! Wish you all the best in the future, and although its goodbye to the blog, its definitely not goodbye between us. I'm so glad I met a great friend like you through your fabulous blog. :D xoxo<br /><br />~ MaidaMåїÐ»-(¯`v´¯)-»https://www.blogger.com/profile/17761335857561590565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-12923079860868603822014-11-08T17:01:54.366-08:002014-11-08T17:01:54.366-08:00Love ya, pal!Love ya, pal!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649532121775064262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-58009615481047004632014-11-07T15:47:37.553-08:002014-11-07T15:47:37.553-08:00"I've decided it's time for me to mov..."I've decided it's time for me to move on now. I still love to read. I've loved the friendships I've formed. You are amazing, intelligent, caring people and I'm so very lucky to call you my friends. I will continue to read your blogs, to chat with you. I'm just tired. And it's my fault. I've spent so much time in this wonderful world, too much honestly. And I don't want life to continually pass me by. I joke with my husband that it's weird to say, I need to read less. Like I said, I love to read still, but I think not blogging is making me love it more." this and everything else in this post is legit how I feel right now. I don't want to stop blogging, but honestly? It's hard to keep the same amoount of excitement for every book, constantly try to improve your blog, your reviews, your thoughts; I only think in ratings when I read a book, not how it actually makes me feel. Most of the time anyway. It's just.. tiring. I'm so glad to have gotten to know you and your opinions matter to me. Your opinion has pushed me towards quite a few books. I'm glad you're still around here somewhere and I can always turn to you for whatever romance and funny needs there may be :) I hope you get everything you want and deserve out of this decision and good luck with everything, you gorgeous soul! *hugs* <3Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-84421583020634185112014-11-07T11:11:31.002-08:002014-11-07T11:11:31.002-08:00I'm really sad to see you go, Andrea, because ...I'm really sad to see you go, Andrea, because you are one of the few nicest bloggers out there, but I'm happy that you decided to put your life before your blogging.

I've got so many great recommendations from you and I love that you often share something personal in your reviews. But I can totally understand. Sometimes it's really hard to keep up with all everything and still have a real life. I'm trying to scale back a bit and not take on as much myself. Still, it's hard to say no. I'm glad you'll still be on Twitter and Goodreads so I can still say hi. :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769483260772738867.post-34180064222542162922014-11-07T06:58:27.294-08:002014-11-07T06:58:27.294-08:00I'm really sad that you won't be posting a...I'm really sad that you won't be posting any longer, as where will I get my dose of sexy covers now :( I truly hope that one day you'll be back.
