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 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 the most wonderful day, full of the most incredible readings.❤️ Today, as you may have seen from the title,is a special day and a different post in honor of the blog…that’s turning 5 years old!!!It’s just so wonderful for me to think that for 5 years I’ve been doing something that makes me SO deeply happy, that for 5 years I’ve been sharing my thoughts about books with readers around the world and that for 5 years I’ve been learning and growing. 😭😭😭 I say it every year, but it’s the truth, so I’ll say it again, creating this blog was one of my most brilliant ideas like EVER lol, I didn’t think at the time that I would get this far through the years, but looking back, it’s been a complete blessing. 🙏🏻
I’m clearly super excited and kind of emotional to share another celebration with you today, for that, obviously, I’ll be expressing my gratitude for this beautiful journey while making a little catharsis of life, but also I always like to bring you something useful maybe for you or for those book bloggers who are just starting or are just entering the bookish world, or maybe just for those readers who, like me 5 years ago, want to create their personal space where they can share their love for books. 😊 For that, I’ll be sharing today some points that you should keep in mind, like some things that you should do as a book blogger and others that you should avoid.‼️ Of course, all this is always from my point of view and from my personal experience and journey, I just hope that I can be of help to someone else someday, that would make me very happy. 🥺🌟 Thank you infinitely for being there on the other side of the screen, either recently or since many years ago, you’re SO valuable and I want you to know that I’ll always remember every moment I’ve lived with my blog, I tressure every comment, every like and every interaction in general that we have had, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 🥰 Without further ado, let’s get started! 🎉

🌟 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a wonderful day full of the best readings and the most incredible moments. ❤️Today I feel SO SO excited to share this spontaneous post with you, I confess that I had other plans for today, in fact, plans that I’ll not reveal because I’ll be carrying them out later, but hey, this topic came up in my mind very suddenly, and I want to take advantage of this inspirational moment to share with you these 5 key points that have helped me over time to blog stress-free. 👏🏻 Of course, I don’t have the absolute truth on any subject, but I always try to speak to you from my own experience and I hope together we can grow and learn from each other that’s the most important thing, so my comments are open to all of you, so you can also share your experiences and let me know what you think about each point that we’ll touch next. 🥰
I know exactly how blogging with stress feels like, and it’s not fun at all. I’ve been blogging for more than 4 years and I’ve gone through all the mind stages, so little by little I’ve been adapting myself and I’ve been going through different facets to which you’re exposed when you are a blogger 🥺, in this case, a book blogger, but I talk about any content from the blogger world in general. This isn’t the first time I’ll talk about blogging and my experience in this regard, it’s the first time that I’ll touch precisely on the subject of stress and I’ll focus on those things that YOU SHOULD NOT DO in order to avoid this state and get into a nicer one to obviously enjoy the experience because, at the end of the day, we all started on this because we have something to say and a lot to share, and then we stay because we’re passionate about it and it makes us happy, so I think blogging is a wonderful tool for expression and I would like to be able to convey to you those things that I should have stopped focusing on to fully enjoy it. 😍 Now without further ado, I hope you enjoy the post a lot & that it’s somehow useful to you. Thanks for always being there for me 💞 and let’s GET STARTED! 🌟
