Review Requests: I have made a decision.

So I am currently on holidays, and am not accepting any review requests as it is, but I've been having thoughts about things a lot while lying on the beach. I was thinking about this before I left a lot as well because basically, I am getting snowed under.

I have made the descision to not accept any more review requests until further notice, this is going to be at least up until January next year, until I can start clearing some of what I've got and reading some of what I want. Before I went on holidays I literally read 5 review books in a row, which is a lot for me and being a reader who prefers to pick up a book just because it calls to me, forcing myself to read at the moment just isn't working.

Now, I must take into account authors I have standing relationships with. If I have previously accepted work from you then feel free to ask me, but if you are contacting me for the first time, please don't. I have close to a hundred books on my TBR pile and 10% of those are Review Request books, which I am not comfortable with. I like being able to stick to my promises and that isn't happening at the moment, which basically makes me feel bad.

So unless we have a standing relationship please don't email me if I don't know you. Anyone that does will be deleted without an answer.

Thanks hun :)

I have been noticing more and more that I'm reading for others and not for myself...and it's actually slowing my reading down because I'm slugging through books that are only just holding my attention
It can get so overwhelming at times. Especially if they want you to read an entire series to catch up to the latest release.

I have been finding that more and more lately as well, it's just becoming a little too much.
