You might have noticed that the blog had been rather quiet this past few days and it's not that I took an unexpected hiatus, it was more a case of a forced one! I updated my laptop to Windows 10 the Friday before last and boom... all of a sudden my lappy was freezing and uncooperative and not even opening the internet...
I know some of my friends do work on their blog posts on their tablets and I do bow to them for being able to do that... but my tablet is rather glitchy too, so I decided to ignore the damned laptop, take a break and try my luck again at some later point...
And in the meantime I've spent a LOT of time reading! I've re-read The Others series and Marked in Flesh and had a blast allowing myself reading without updates or checking the web... I missed chatting with my Twitter friends but...
Yesterday I gave the laptop another try and it started and it's running more or less okay, so I can be back onto blogging, but I'm gonna take it slowly for now... I think the hiatus and the time off was also a lil needed here!
What have you guys been up as of late?? Any books or bookish news I might have missed??
I was totally shocked that I was approved for This Savage Song! I was chuckling to myself as I requested because I felt foolish for even thinking I would get it. I needed that shot of blogging adrenaline because I had been feeling down about some stuff. Plus, The Serpent King turned out to be FABULOUS! That made me happy because I didn't want to be a black sheep. I also heard that BEA is supposed to be back in NYC next year! I hope so. :D
ReplyDeleteYAY for being approved for This Savage Song!! That'd totally be an adrenaline shot for me too! ;)
DeleteOh no! Tech problems are the worst! Hopefully your laptop will stop being so glitchy.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my gods, the Doctor Who gif... I actually started watching that show not very long ago! Right now I'm about 1/2 into season 2 with the David Tennant Doctor and I am really liking it! I was really looking forward to the David Tennant Doctor 'cause I just absolutely loved him in Jessica Jones!
Anyway, Happy reading and blogging! :)
YESS! Tenth is my Doctor! I'm very happy to hear you are loving him as the Doctor! =D
DeleteI wondered what happened to you last week!!! I'm so sorry your laptop crapped out, but I'm glad it's thinking about working for you now. Stupid computers. So finicky:)
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Marked in Flesh now, I love it so much!
I know! Technology!
DeleteAnd YAY for reading Marked in Flesh! I'll be a DM away if you want to chat about it! ;)
THAT HAMILTON GIF. I love it Pili!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm scared to update my own laptop.... HAH.
Best of luck with the update! It might just be that my lappy is quite old!
DeleteAhh, I'm so sorry about your laptop o.O Hope it will get better fast. <3 All the hugs. I would not survive without mine, lol :) You are awesome Pili. Miss your posts :) Hope you are doing well sweet girl. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetie! I hope the lappy will behave for now!
DeleteIt sounded like you needed that break Pili! But oh man, I wouldn't be able to survive if my computer went down for that long! Hopefully it'd be working fine now.
