Hiatus Update

April 5, 2018

Friends – It feels like it’s been MONTHS instead of mere weeks since I’ve seen you! I wanted to give you a brief update.

I got married last week!!! It’s shocking to feel that 18 months of prep went into 3 days and BAM– it’s all over. It was lovely and wonderful and practically perfect in every day. I cannot wait to tell you all more about it! There will be photos and stories and all of that once my blog is back at full health.

Obviously, I’m still having blog problems. Yes, I do have a new book review posted, but I scheduled that weeks ago so it could be posted on the publication date. I cannot really do much to post on my blog and I don’t have access to respond to any of your awesome comments. It’s infuriating and disappointing to still be away after 5 weeks. But I’m not giving up!

During my originally planned 2 week hiatus I learned that my hosting site is being sold off. Due to this and a few other factors, I am seeking a new hosting source. Any and all feedback is welcome! As I cannot respond via this tool, you are welcome to comment below, but please also let me know through Facebook, Twitter (@DeathByTsundoku), or via e-mail: jackieb@deathbytsundoku.com. I hope to make a choice quickly and get back on my blogging feet ASAP!

While I’ve been quite busy with the wedding, things are finally ramping down. Thank you notes are in full swing, reading is back on track (I only read 5 books in March, and my average has been 9), and I am ready to take on blogging. Blog hopping won’t resume until my blog is back up and running; this is my top priority! I hope it doesn’t take long and I can visit agian soon.

I look forward to seeing you all again. I’ve missed you all desperately. The kind words and checking in you’ve provided has meant the WORLD to me. I cannot wait to rekindle these friendships!

    Congratulations, I am so glad that it all went well for you. The blog issue must be so frustrating. Take your time to get it right so that it works for you and doesn’t create extra stress.

      Thank you, Helen! The wedding was practically perfect in every way. I couldn’t be more excited to see the professional photos!

      Yes, the blog being down is SUPER frustrating. I feel like I’m finally making progress. After all, I can now access my WP.com account to respond to comments! Baby steps. 😀

    Ahhhh Jackie!!! I CAN’T wait to hear all about the wedding and see pictures! Congrats my friend! I am super bummed that you are still having blog issues. Good luck with choosing a new host. I know how stressful that can be. I’ll be patiently awaiting for your return 🙂

    Congratulations on this insanely huge moment in your life!!! Take all the time you need to enjoy it, and hopefully this whole blogging problem won’t ruin any of that. Looking forward to your return and hopefully you’ll find a nice and quick solution to this issue!

    Aaah yeay congrats. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed your wedding so much. I hope you will find your blogging feet soon. We miss you. <3

    I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It must be so stressful! Congrats on the wedding, though. We’ll still be here!

  • Jane @ Greenish Bookshelf April 7, 2018 at 9:23 pm

    CONGRATULATIONS, Jackie!!! So so so happy for you! I have been missing you and your blog lately. I just finished Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine last week and it was AMAZING! Put it on my TBR after reading your review. 🙂 Hope everything calms down for you and you find a new hosting site and everything! Praying for you, my friend 🙂

    Huge congrats on your wedding! Glad to hear it was as perfect as you deserve 🙂 And I’m sorry to hear about the continued blog hitches. I would take it as a guilt-free blog vacation – you can’t do much about it so you have full permission to recuperate from all the wedding organization and focus on reading. I’m sure you’ll find a great alternate hosting site, though it does sound like a headache.

    Congratulations dear friend <3 I am so happy for you. I am loving the wedding pics I have seen on Facebook! Am a bit bummed to know you are stilling dealing with the blog issues. I wish I had suggestions, but I am still weighing self hosting myself. I am afraid to take the leap.

    A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your wedding, Jackie! I’m glad everything turned out well. And I’m so sorry about your blog, that’s so annoying and I hope you’re able to find a new hosting site soon. Unfortunately, I don’t have any suggestions but I hope someone else does.

    Congratulations, Jackie! I feel like the big things in life are always like you mentioned… so much time and effort and then suddenly it’s all over. I hope you had an incredible wedding, and I look forward to seeing photos!

    I’m sorry to hear that about your hosting site. I cannot recommend my own host enough – Book Host, run by Ashley at Nose Graze. I’m not sure of the pricing anymore but I have never had any problems, and it’s been wonderful. I also recommend Three Words hosting! It’s super affordable, and the owner is lovely and prompt if you’re ever in need of help.

    I hope you find your way back to blogging soon!
