Announcement


Hi everyone! First I want to say thank you so much for coming around to read my book blog. I started BookCatPin for myself so it really means a lot that anybody would want to read my thoughts and opinions.
 
You may have noticed I've been posting less lately and that is because I'm pregnant! It's a totally new experience and has taken a lot out of me. I'm both excited and super nervous.
 
Though I'm at the more stable stage now I find myself just not having the energy to do much blogging. My reading has also suffered because I can't seem to concentrate enough on most days. Now I'm definitely not shutting down my blog but I am reducing the amount I post. I used to share two reviews a week but I'll be cutting that down to one a week or maybe even none depending on how I'm feeling and how much reading I get done in the next few months. Same goes with the Waiting on Wednesday and Stacking the Shelves posts.

I may disappear but I will never stop sharing my love for books. Social media is the easiest way for me to share updates with so please feel free to follow me on Instagram and Twitter (links on the sidebar) if you'd like to see some of those :D
 
In the meantime, I hope the kitties will get along with the baby once he/she arrives. Any tips for that? Wish us luck and thank you for reading!!
