The Sunday Post: Well I Suck @ Blogging

Every other week I participate in The Sunday Post hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. The meme is weekly, every Sunday, but I’ve decided to do it bi-weekly since I don’t usually have that much to share every single week. So, here are some updates from the last 2 weeks!Well, I kind of suck at blogging. I think I need to come to terms with the fact that there will be months I can be super active and others in which I don’t even remember I have a blog. I tried coming back in APRIL and completely failed, so here I am again. Please forgive my flakey-ness, I’ll get there eventually.

→ Over the last few months, I haven’t been up to much besides mom life. Honestly, my life isn’t super exciting (blaming Covid-19) Husband still has to go to work and I do the typical housewife/stay at home mom stuff while he’s there. I have been listening to more audiobooks. I never thought that would be something I would be into. I tried listening to them pre-mom life but I could never fully pay attention – but now that I’m a mom, audiobooks are a GODSEND. So, most of the reviews coming up on my blog are for the audiobooks, which definitely give a different experience. It’ll be interesting to see if you agree with my views if you’ve read the books versus listened to the audiobook. I look forward to those chats!

→ I’ve been on a TV and movie kick lately so recommend me something to watch! Also, that means there will probably be a return of my movie / tv show reviews instead of just “what I’m watching” recaps.

Literally nothing because I suck at blogging lol

Ok, so I’m “currently reading” a lot of things. It’s ridiculous. I start a book, then start another book before finishing the first one, and then do it again, and again, and again. SO…I’m going to be posting an “August Plan” (which is basically a tbr but feels less restricting, I don’t know, it just does). I want to do this in order to keep me accountable on HERE (so I actually keep posting) but also to give me some guidance…because having 7 books on my “currently reading” pile is a little crazy.

How the heck have you all been? Are you watching anything good or reading anything interesting? Drop ANY recommendations below!

    I will forever and always suck at blogging. I love it, but sometimes, I just have no inspiration. Don’t feel bad about it. It happens to everyone.

    Happy readings!

    I love audiobooks as I can listen while doing other tasks. I have probably 10 or more currently reading LOL. I always have at least one audio and one ebook, but the rest include books from the library I started and they were due before I finished them, or books I’m not liking but don’t want to DNF and plan to come back later, etc. You just do what you can these days. Enjoy your reading!

      Yes! It’s so nice to have an audiobook on while doing other things – I just can’t be doing something that requires too much thought or I’ll get distracted lol.

  • Reply Greg 07/26/2020 at 7:20 pm

    It is hard right now to blog I think. I thought I’d have more reading time with lockdown and everything else but I’m actually reading LESS. Weird. Anyway I have been watching more shows though. Have you seen Into the Night on Netflix? That was pretty good.

    I don’t listen to very many audiobooks either but I’d like to try more. Have a great week!

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/26/2020 at 7:52 pm

      Yeah, I’m not reading a whole lot either lol. And no I haven’t! I’ve seen it advertised to me plenty of times and I am interested in it. I’ll have to put it on one day.

  • Reply Tanya Atkinson 07/27/2020 at 1:53 am

    Hooray for audio books! Glad you’re able to have them work for you now. I never used to listen to them but did a total turn-around 4-5 years ago and have been hooked every since.

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/31/2020 at 8:54 pm

      They’re so convenient! Wash the dishes, audiobook. Fold the laundry, audiobook. Clean the rabbit cages, audiobook. lol

    Few of us have it all together in the middle of a pandemic. Plans help 😉

    Wishing you a great reading week

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/31/2020 at 8:53 pm

      Right >.< lol I'm hoping to make a plan/guideline to help me have some sort of routine...but I can't imagine I'll be perfect with it so I'm allowing some leniency to myself !

  • Reply Tracy @ Cornerfolds 07/27/2020 at 9:06 am

    Heyyy! You’re back too! I’ve been having the same issue with starting multiple books but not actually finishing them. Whoops!

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/31/2020 at 8:52 pm

      Woo! We’re back! lol And Yeahhh…that probably comes with the territory of being in a bookish slump! lol

  • Reply Sam@WLABB 07/27/2020 at 9:48 am

    Welcome back! A new baby can certainly turn your world upside down. Glad you are embracing audiobooks. I used to think “why would I listen when I can read”, but I find I like listening to them as I work, in the car, when I do chores, etc. I am killing my backlist via audio

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/31/2020 at 8:51 pm

      Thank you! I used to think I could never listen to them because I would get distracted. I definitely do sometimes so I have to do them during very specific tasks…like mindless cleaning – not “let’s go through everything and reorganize” type cleaning lol

  • Reply Lola 07/27/2020 at 1:48 pm

    I’ve been listening to audiobooks for 1.5 years now and I love them. I still read much more ebooks, but there are moments when audiobooks are just handier and I really like how a good narrator can add something. So I look forward to your audio reviews.

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/31/2020 at 8:50 pm

      Oh gosh, a good narrator is a must! I can’t listen to it unless they’re good. Especially since I listen to it at 2x the speed, so they can’t be annoying and they have to really annunciate lol

  • Reply the bookworm 07/29/2020 at 8:28 am

    I can totally relate to that, I am on blog-land on and off again. It all depends and now with everything that’s going on it’s hard to focus sometimes. Yay for audiobooks then you can multi-task.
    I’ve been completely hooked on The Handmaid’s Tale lately and hope to watch several more episodes this week since I’m on staycation now.
    Enjoy your week ahead and thanks for stopping by my blog.

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/31/2020 at 8:50 pm

      I’ve watched all of The Handmaid’s Tale! I have to admit I get a little annoyed sometimes, though. It feels super repetitive. Like…just ESCAPE already lol Enjoy your week!

    I guess being a mom needs some adjusting to 😉. That can partly be to blame if you haven’t been blogging for a while. But I’m sure you’ll find your mojo back eventually! For me. spreadsheets are a life-saver, but I know there are people who can’t schedule too much (or at all) because it sucks all their blogging enthusiasm away.

    So…I’ve been on wages guarantee funds for 3 months, and now I’m working all week again (that is, my usual 5 days instead of only 2). Finance-wise, it was a disaster. But I made the most of it by cleaning the whole house LOL. How exciting. Then again…these aren’t exciting days 😧.

      It definitely needs some adjusting lol. I was already in a slump and then he was born so it made it worse – but I’m feeling super motivated right now so let’s hope that continues!

      Ahh, at least you have a clean house? That’s always nice for me…I’m more of a peaceful person with a clean home 🙂

  • Reply Maureen Bakker 07/30/2020 at 11:44 am

    You’ll just have to blog when you want to.. I’ve always been a big planner. And what I plan I do.. It’s kind of crazy really! LOL!! I hope you’ll get back into blogging. 😉
    And as a mom myself.. I so hear you about mom life.
    Happy reading!

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/31/2020 at 8:47 pm

      Ahh yeah see I used to plan ALL my posts…now it’s more of a rough plan. I put it on my calendar but I don’t pressure myself. I’ll get there! I feel super motivated right now so that’s good 🙂

  • Reply Amber Elise @ Du Livre 07/31/2020 at 6:39 pm

    Audiobooks have always been my jam and even more so now that I’ve got a wee babe. She gets upset if I do anything besides stare at her during nursing so I can at least listen to audio haha. I’ve also been trying to walk a bit more to get rid o the COVID blues and audioboks have been a godsend for those.

    • Reply Molly's Book Nook 07/31/2020 at 8:47 pm

      Yes, audiobooks make things so much easier when there is a baby involved 😀 That is so cute that she wants you to look at her hahah Ahhh, yeah so I haven’t been doing a lot of walking and I went on one today with my audiobook, dog, and baby…needless to say, I don’t remember much of what I listened to lol
