Some of you noticed I have been off the screen for a very long time. In March 2015 I decided to go one a break to study for my final exams to finish my apprenticeship as a media designer. (You can read that post here) In 2015 my life has been nothing but a roller coaster. In March the preparation for my final exams started. My days were filled with studying, studying and more studying until shocking news hit my family. (You can read that post here) I could barley study anymore because the shock was quite deep. When the finals started I was not as much prepared as I planned to. After the exams I was terrified I wouldn’t make it through. I was such a wreck until I heard the news that all my worries were unnecessary. In July 2015 I successfully finished my apprenticeship with good grades and I can officially call l myself a trained media designer.

In June/July 2015 I was back on my blog for a couple of reviews, author interviews and guest post. After being away for almost 4 months I couldn’t find a way to get back into blogging. It didn’t feel right to me. I had too much going on in my life to keep up with it. Eventually, once I'd figured it all out in my head, I reached the book-blogging-break decision. I have to admit, it was difficult at first. That probably sounds ridiculous but it was! I love my blog, I'm so proud of it, and I love sharing reviews with readers, but I realized that I had to feel okay in myself too, to feel like I was in control and not the other way round. And so, the book-blogging-break began!
