To the lovely followers of Passages to the Past,
I wanted to let you know that I will be going on hiatus from blogging and reviewing for a little while. My husband and I have unfortunately suffered another set back in our endeavor to expand the family and with this being the second loss this year (and our third overall), I am just needing to take a break. You may see a guest post or giveaway occasionally because I want to try and keep as many of my commitments as possible, but I won't be posting reviews.
You won't be able to miss me too much though because I am still hard at work on my tours at HF Virtual Book Tours. I can't tell you how much I enjoy working on the tours and how they have helped me keep my mind occupied over these past few weeks as we were awaiting an answer.
I want to apologize for any inconvenience I am causing the authors and publicists I have committed to, I just really need to take time for myself, to heal both emotionally and physically.
Thank you all and I'll be seeing you around.
Blessings to you, Amy! Your reviews will be missed, but taking care of yourself is the most important thing.

Aww Amy I'm sorry. Keep your head up girl - eventually things get better. That's the motto I have been saying all year as around every corner I keep running into tragedy too.

Oh Amy, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine. As someone who struggled for quite some time with infertility in my younger years, my heart aches for you. Do take care of yourself. That is much more important than anything else right now - and the people who love your blog will still be here when you find your way back to it. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your sad news, Amy! Know that you're in the thoughts of all of your readers who will miss you dearly. Take good care of yourself and your husband.

ReplyDeleteI visit Passages regularly because you fill me on on the newest releases before anyone else. As I have no good independent bookstore nearby, bloggers like you really provide that human touch to guide my reading. Should the right time for your return come, I'll be checking in again.
I am so sorry. I'll miss you but take time for yourself and you will be in my thoughts until you come back.
ReplyDeleteOh, Amy, I'm so sorry. Like everyone above, my thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteOh Amy, I'm so sorry. Taking a break is the right thing. We'll all still be here when you're ready to return. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you feel better soon. We'll miss you.

ReplyDeleteOh Amy, my heart goes out to you, you and hubby will be in my thoughts. As someone who has been through the lows and highs of infertility and IVF I understand how emotionally & physically draining it is, it takes a toll.
ReplyDeleteBe kind to yourself xx
You are the first priority...take care of yourself Amy...
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, Amy. I really hope things get better soon. I am keeping you in my thoughts and sending the positive thought vibes your way. Bottom line...take care of yourself because without you, we wouldn't have Passages to the Past. I know I will certainly remain one of your loyal followers. And, of course, I get to work with you on the tours. =O)
ReplyDeleteAmy, please know that my heart goes out to you along with lots of hugs. How strong you have been to go through this three times. I was blessed with two sons yet we wanted more children but we were never able to have them. I share your disappointment and sadness, my dear. Please come back to your Passages Family soon. We miss you. God bless.
