New Blog Design and New Beginnings

Hi guys!

You might have noticed that Fictionally Obsessed has a new look (That's here to stay! At least for a while until I break my promise haha, I'll try not to make that happen. ) and I'm finally back, from what I wouldn't call a hiatus, but time taken to make a "permanent design" for the blog. I'm glad that I finally got that out of the way so I can catch up on writing posts, hopefully at least twice a week!

Aside from my blog designs, I've also been thinking about perhaps making some changes on the blog and the things I post. Currently, I post:

• Reviews
• Giveaways
• Cover Reveals
• Book Blitzes
• Author Interviews 
• Guest Posts
• Excerpts
• Blog Tours
• Book Memes (Top Ten Tuesday, Waiting on Wednesday, Feature and Follow Friday, Stacking the Shelves, and Midnight Thoughts)

Reviews, Interviews, Blog Tours, Giveaways, and Midnight Thoughts and discussion posts are going to be features staying on the blog, but I'm not entirely sure about Cover Reveals, Blitzes, Guest Posts, Excerpts, and the other book memes. 

A Hiatus? :(

So you may have noticed that I really haven't been around much or posting something everyday like I used to and I feel like I owe everyone an apology and an explanation.

The truth is, I've been extremely busy lately and so, I have come to a final decision.

I'm going to be taking a hiatus.

Reason being, it's because life is busy. I can't really keep up the school work, blogging and in addition to the three things listed above, I still have a HUGE stack of books from review requests from January
that I have yet not read. Not to mention that I haven't even read Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead yet or finished Asunder by Jodi Meadows OR even STARTED on City of Lost Souls. And I bought those books in January as well. I know this shouldn't even be POSSIBLE, as a TMI 'fan'. I feel like I'm not one anymore because of it anymore. Blog, why are you doing this to me?

During my hiatus, I will be redesigning Fictionally Obsessed. I know that I've redesigned the blog 4 times already and I know that I haven't been able to make up my mind. It's just that I have decided to make my blog less feminine and more gender neutral.

I feel like it's all too much for me at a time, and though I still freaking love blogging and reading, I'm going to be taking a break. Meaning that I will still be checking the blog for comments daily and posting Feature Fridays and reviews, but I just won't be blogging and posting something everyday like I did before. I still have tons of ideas that have been bouncing in my head and a new original feature called Midnight Thoughts I will be introducing when I get back, so I hope that you'll stay will me even though I won't be posting as much.

And finally, I'm sorry. I really should have been interacting with you guys more and commenting your blogs, and it feels like I'm just not there. I hope you'll understand my decision and give me time to return to my old blogging obsessed self. I don't even know if I ever will be able to return to that stage ever again.

The Liebster Award

Hi everyone!

So today, I'm going to be talking about 'The Liebster Award! I had no idea what this was until like a month ago, but anyways, 'The Liebster Award' is all about getting to know bloggers and their blogs who have less than 200 followers. There's no actual award and it's kind of a Pass it On, kind of thing, but I think it's a great way to get to know new bloggers and their blogs! I was actually nominated for this award twice, one time from Faith from Book Nook 96 and Stephanie from Her Reviews of Books Movies and Everything, so I have no idea who's questions to answer! I guess I'll be answering 5 questions from each blogger then! What are the questions I'm talking about? Well read the rules below!  I'm so excited to be a nominee and participate in this fangirl-tastic award! *squeal*
