Hi all,
Apologies for my unexplained, long absence.
To make things short: I went to college and stopped reading.
I know, I know, that was about five years ago. I barely touched a book in that time period. Life was busy; things happened. I only recently started reading again personally. And then I created a personal Goodreads account, and it reminded me of all this.
Book blogging, bookstagram - I don't even reminder all I was involved in - I'm beginning to miss. I'm kind of getting back into books and it feels amazing. For such a long time, I was grasping at the straws of life. Just surviving. Just living. I found pleasure in gaming, Tik Tok, and not being online as much as I was when I was younger.
I have a full time job and a college degree. I will say this book blog developed my passion for digital marketing, so I really hope to include my professional experience here.
And I think I'm ready to start reading again, as a hobby. I don't think Kayl's Krazy Obsession will get back to what it once was but I think I'm ready to start anew and refresh this blog. I'll still accept ARCs and maybe the occasional blog tour or guest post, but I have a full time job and this will just be a side hobby. It may be slow to start and it may not be too consistent, but I'm going to try and not force myself to do this just because. This is fun for me, not a job, and I really love reading.
As a book update:
I've found a calling for romcoms. I love the cartoon cover books. Emily Henry has been a big favorite of mine recently; I think I've read most of her stuff.
I've been branching into Fantasy. I still read Jennifer L. Armentrout, I finished the FBAA series earlier this year (and I bought the Fairyloot special editions). I'm trying out Sarah J. Maas. I've read the first Crescent City and am on book two. Quite enjoying them.
I still read YA but am taking a bit longer to get into them. My favorite read of 2022 so far has got to be All of Us Villains. I finished that last week, and I cannot get over how good it was. Waiting patiently on book two, All of Our Demise (unless someone wants to send me an ARC ;)). I also recently read This Vicious Grace and greatly enjoyed it.
I'm currently reading The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen. I've been sucked into the cool special editions of books, which weren't around in my day so I've been collecting a lot of those.
So I'm putting this out there in case I still have some readers. My inbox is full of requests from the past five years, so idk if I'll get to those, but feel free to reach out if you have a book to promote or read: kaylskrazyobsession@gmail.com. I just might respond :)
