Question for my followers/Readers?

Hey everyone!

I'm sorry I haven't been around much, and my reviews have become almost extinct. It really saddens me because I love reading and I love my blog. I want to be the person who I was when I started this blog, and at some point I know I'll be her again.

I feel like when I sit down to write a review that it's just going to come out sounding the same as all my others, and I HATE that.

This is not to say I haven't read anything because I have I've just been putting the reviews as videos on my Youtube Channel lately. If you interested in those, or anything else really here's my Booktube link. (Please subscribe to my channel it would mean a bunch to me. I think if I can to overr 100 subscribers I'll do a giveaway. I know I have a few signed books.)

I guess my question is would you like me to just add my video reviews to here as well, and if I get out of the writing reviews funk I'm in just go back and write reviews for those books when I can?
