Mid Year Check In Book Tag

July 7, 2023July 5, 2023 ~ Artiecarden ~ Leave a comment

It has been a while since I did any book related content generally, but I thought I would do the mid-year check-in (for the first time) and let you know what books I have read so far this year. This tag was created by ReadLikeWildfire and Earl Grey Books, but I won’t be using their name for it as it uses ableist terminology. I grabbed this from my friend Anniek's blog 🙂

I wanted to throw out a 'oh Happy New Year, I guess!' post, to check in with you all! I've been working on my own way of journaling every year which focus on my many different passions, being creative and giving myself space to exist and feel my feelings (in words or in art) I wanted to give a list of suggestions for people trying to move away from the toxic New Year resolutions (which I already commented on last year) and find something else more fulfilling to focus on this year but also something that has a positive impact on yourself and others.

Hi pals I wanted to talk about why I hand write and post christmas cards (and sometimes a little gift) this time of year. It takes a lot of energy to remember, and to physically write cards, and it costs to buy cards and post them around the UK and Europe. Are you or your friends even religious? Not particularly. Didn't you say you hated cards, found them pointless, and a waste of money? Yep... What's the point when you can send a message or an e-card? Well, here's my why.

Long time no speak, I've decided I want to start a little series on my blog where my friends with very different reading tastes recommend 5 books they love (but this may also branch out to other things like films, TV shows, plays, who knows! but for now it's books!) and introduce you all to other online creatives, their style, and their work! First off we have Piper, who is not new to the blog, I've interviewed here for both the Elliot Page post as well as the White Privilege post. So, I'm excited for you to check out her top reads.
