Hello my beautiful bookish family, how are you? I hope you are feeling great today, enjoying the best reads and eating delicious things! ❤️ This is a post I’ve been doing forever on the blog, and I want to revive it in 2024 with what would be the new literary releases on a monthly basis!!!🙌🏻 I love doing this kind of post, although as I always say, it’s good for us but bad for our wallets, right?😅 There are many new releases this year that deserve recognition and mention in this kind of post, but of course, needless to say, I won’t be able to highlight every one of them since there are SO SO many, so I will focus each month on giving their place to those that I am most excited about and that I feel I am most interested in reading.😍✨
Of course, there will be others that even though they are outside my genre, I think deserve a mention, and I also feel that many of you will be able to welcome them to your own TBRs!🔥
I don’t think this particular post needs much introduction, but before I start, I’d like to let you know that the books will be organized in order of release 🌟, and also to let me know what your most anticipated books are this month?!!!!! I’m dying to know, let’s share the excitement! 🤩🤩🤩 So, well, without further ado, let’s get started!👏🏻
Hello, my sweet literary hearts! OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, I’M BACK! 😭 I’ve been sitting with the computer in front of me thinking for hours how to start this post in the most “professional” way possible, but, probably, no matter how much I plan it will end up being a mess of emotions all over the place, and at the end that’s what represents me best, so here I am, I’m Sofi and my beloved blog “A Book. A Thought.” will be reborn this year ending already 2023, for what I hope to be countless more years. 🥰 I’m as you can guess, incredibly excited to be back on board, I have SO many things to share with you, which I’ll try to summarize in the best way later in this post, but the most important thing is that I missed a lot to share my ideas here, I missed my readings shared with all of you, creating posts, writing and especially you, guys, I missed you, wonderful reader of my little corner, I hope I still count on you after all this time, because I’m ready for a lot of new content in the future and to give my blog the place it deserves, a very important one. So HELLO, again! 👋🏻
The funniest part of all this is coming back to blogging on October 31!!!!. If you’ve been following my blog for a while you know that Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year 👻, I’m always excited to create content for it, so I think it’s more than perfect to be coming back on this very day! So, happy Halloween to all of you! I want to know what spooky reading you are planning for this day! 🎃🎃🎃🎃
💻 Hi, my beautiful friends, I hope you’re having the most amazing day.❤️ This is a blog post series I’ve been doing all of 2020 & 2021 and I’m doing it again during 2022, because I just love it, and it’s all about highlighting a series of blog posts from around the book blogger community, that I enjoyed reading or that I think are amazing and deserve more love and recognition. With this, I hope to be able to somehow support other book bloggers on a monthly basis, and I also hope you can find new book blogs to follow or content that interests you or help you. 🥰
😍
Maybe the look of this post will be simpler than what you usually see on the blog, but I like this idea and it’s honestly with the simple purpose of supporting each other more and we can find new content in a simple and organized way. 😊
I don’t have a certain amount I’m highlighting per month, they’re just posts I’ve come across with and I think they’re INCREDIBLE, so I want to share them with you all. 👏🏻 I used to make a small top 5 with my favorite posts of the month, but I realized that I had to delete many posts to be able to select only 5, and I don’t think it’s fair, there are SO many wonderful posts and everyone deserves the same love and recognition, so that’s why I decided to make this post apart. I hope you enjoy, like, and support this idea. 😚 I LOVE YOU 💕 and let’s start! 💻
👏🏻 Hi, my beautiful bookish family! ❤️ How have you been? I hope you’re doing great, from here I send you all my love and good energies for these moments 🌟, especially to all the innocent people who are being affected by the current war, my heart and my thoughts are with all of you, I really hope everything gets better soon, the world has already gone through too much already. 🙏🏻 So guys… I’M BACK! I’m so happy and excited to resume my blog and bring back fun content, plus most of all I’ve missed you guys so much, the interactions I have with you were always a fun part of my days, plus I’ve missed all your beautiful blogs, which I’ll be checking out these days. 😊
This post is mostly to reconnect and catch up, I want to tell you a little bit about my life, my plans in general, but obviously, I also want to put myself in order and share with you my ideas for the blog, the content I’ll be doing and also of course, my plans as a reader, plus some books I’ve read these months that I want to tell you about. 🥰
So, if this is the first time you’re here, welcome! 🎉 I love having you and I hope you enjoy this new stage with me, and if you’ve been there since the beginning THANK YOU SO MUCH for that, from the bottom of my heart for the love, and support of all these wonderful years. 🥺 Now yes, without further ado, let’s get started! (I’m trying not to talk too much, this is new lol) 👏🏻
Hi guys, how are you? I hope you’re having a great day surrounded by the best readings, & of course, I hope you had an amazing Christmas.… 🥰 This is honestly a very different post, one that wasn’t on my schedule, one that I wasn’t planning to do, but as you know my priority is always to be honest with you, so today I have to share that I’ll be taking a blogging break of at least 4 months.👋🏻 This is because my current job is taking a lot of my time and at another time I would have continued with the blog anyway but lately, I’ve been feeling a bit stressed to accomplish everything, you know? plus, some family issues are happening that I’ve told you about at some point 🥺, and I don’t want to be in that place again where I feel almost obligated to do everything because in the long run, and more with an activity that we choose to do for enjoyment, love, and passion, it can cause lack of motivation and the last thing I want is to bring you content that I’m not proud of… that’s not what I want to convey with my platform. 😓 So even though it’s a hard decision to make, I know that the right thing to do right now is to take care of my personal life and then come back more relaxed to really enjoy blogging 100% and be part of this beautiful and understanding community. 🙌🏻
There is also something else. This job where I currently am, is not the job that I hope to have permanently, but it’s one that I use as a means to save money and this money has a bigger purpose and I want to share it with you as well. As long as the pandemic and world health issues allow us, we’ll be moving, with my boyfriend Milo, from Argentina to Sweden next year (Stockholm, to be more precise) this will not be our final destination, but it will be a place where we’ll settle down for a while to work.❄️ This is really a huge change in our lives, a leap of faith that we want to make in order to grow and have more economic possibilities and a better lifestyle in general, not only for us but also for our families. 😊 If you yourself are Latina or know a little about Latin America you know that we often have to emigrate to look for better lives and it’s an absolute change since I’m very close to my family, but at the same time I know that it’s time for me to think about myself and pursue my own dreams, I’m also excited to give a better life to my brothers. 💞 It’s A LOT, on the one hand, I’m very excited I know this is the right decision for us and everything will be more than fine, but on the other hand, it’s the adjustment to the idea that soon we won’t be able to see our families as often and it’s a process for them too. So I’m living all this right now, guys, it’s a lot of feelings, but as always I want to emphasize the positives of having the possibility to travel, to grow, and to experience, it will be incredible. So of course with so many changes happening it’s important for me to prioritize my work at least until I save what I need. 🌟
Of course, it never crossed my mind to abandon my blog or close it permanently, that’s something that’s not up for debate for me, doing this makes me happy, I love being in my pajamas writing about books, and I don’t plan to stop doing it. 😍 This is just a period of time that I need and clearly, I wanted to share with you everything I’m going through, so you know the context of my decisions. Not because I feel I have to explain myself but rather because I love sharing with you, I know that in the comments I’ll find words of support and love, and sometimes I need them, so thank you for always being there, for every like, for every comment, and above all, for your passion for reading which many times are inspiring and makes me feel less alone since I have no friends who like to read as well, so as you know this space is incredibly appreciated and the community is part of my life for 5 years now, I’ve met some amazing people and I’m planning to continue doing so. 🤩
The fact that I’ll stop blogging for 4 months doesn’t mean that I will stop being in the community. 🥳 At the moment, I don’t feel like reading, but I know that at some point I will be reading as well, and sharing maybe on Goodreads or maybe I’ll use my Storygraph, any of these things can happen, as well as you can find me on Twitter where I’ll also be sharing a bit of what I’ll be reading. I’ll also take a few minutes to check out your posts, because you know I LOVE to do it, so you won’t be able to get rid of me so easily, I’ll be there to support you. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
I know I wasn’t able to finish my end of the year posts, but well, I know that when I come back I’ll make a summary of that and we’ll talk a little bit about my 2021 bookish in general, ok? Sometimes life surprises you with good and sometimes bad situations and you have to do what you can as a human being, so from my little place I would like to tell you not to be hard on yourself, we do what we can with the tools we have and that’s always enough. I love you deeply, you’re wonderful so get out there and show what you’re capable of creating and giving to the world.❤️❤️❤️
Adios! See you in 4 months! 😘 ( maybe after April lol )

🌟 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful day full of good readings & incredible moments.❤️ Today I’m back on the blog after taking a week off and I’m really excited and VERY HAPPY to share my plans with you and tell you a bit about some changes that will take place in my life. 😊 You know that I usually take a week each year away from the blog and social networks,I call it “my detox week” and that always helps me to take care of myself, my mental health, and I also take the opportunity to be closer to my loved ones and take care of some mundane things that aren’t as fun as being here with you but important still 😅 I’ve never taken a week in December, so it’s new, for me the month starts today, so it will be shorter here on the blog, but anyway super excited to be back full of energy and super ready to check all your blogs and answer all your beautiful comments 😍, what I’ll be doing starting today, although I know it will take me a couple of days, so be patient with me the important thing is that here I am! 🎉 I decided to make this post to tell you that I’m back, to spend some moment together and you can tell me all about what you’ve been doing and what have you been reading, and also, of course, I want to share with you what I plan to read myself & some future plans for the blog that have me super excited, so I don’t want to make this introduction something so long,just say want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH, because I know you’ve been supporting me even when I’m not here and that makes my heart and my soul happy, you’re a wonderful being and super precious to me. 🥺 🥺 🥺 Happy to be back, mis amores & GET STARTED!
💫 Hi, my loves!!! This is going to be a different post, somewhat decontracted and full of gifs, so if you want to stay to chat with me I would love that and makes me really happy. I decided to write this post because as I’ve already told you several times, I’m going on vacation so I’ll be traveling for 2 weeks. In general, I love to take a little break every year and it almost always coincides that it’s at this time just for October or November so well, I’ll leave only for 15 days and then I’ll come back renewed to continue doing what I love. 😍
A Book. A Thought.
