Happy New Year… in May

Hi guys! I promise not to make it a thing to write proper new year/ first posts in the middle of the year. Life just got away from me and it’s been hectic so apart from book tour posts that I previously committed to, it’s hard to find time to sit and write for myself.

How are you? How’s 2022 been so far? It’s been a rollercoaster ride for me, to say the least. Lowest lows and highest highs, but overall, I’m thankful for everything and I’m taking life one step at a time.

I’ve had a lot of fun in 2022 and I’ve been trying a number of new things too. I’ve had a great run at work and I hit most of my Q1 work targets – that made me feel really good. I’ve had some trouble finding a balance between many things – work, reading, being a content creator, managing multiple social media platforms, and even just checking up on my friends.

I’m working on being better on some fronts, and I’m excited to see how that works out for me going forward.

It was my 23rd birthday in January and I had huge plans in my head but I ended up just going to KFC and I didn’t even see anybody that day. To be fair, I was going through a lot. LOL. I don’t even know what I want my birthday to be like, but I don’t want it to be boring, you feel me?

I do consider myself a boring person. I am a homebody and I hardly ever try out new physical activities or go to new places. I’m hoping that changes soon.

I’m really excited for May, and the rest of 2022.

Thank you for reading. xoxo

Hi there!

My name is Ru, or Oyinda. I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember, and my love for books has only grown stronger over the years. There’s something so special about getting lost in a story and then sharing those thoughts with others. On this blog, you’ll find book reviews, honest (and sometimes rambling!) bookish thoughts, recommendations across different genres, and many more for fellow book lovers. Whether you’re searching for your next read or just want to chat about books, you’re in the right place.
