Hiatus

 I know I posted that our hiatus wouldn't be very long but when life keeps punching you, caring about anything but making it to the next day is where you live.  Losing J was one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with in my entire life. I miss him so much that it's hard some days to function.  I'm am reading but honestly, it's a ton of novellas. They're fast and I don't have to commit too much time to them.  

I apologize for leaving the blog for so long. I am going to try to ease back into getting this going again. I loved doing it but it will be a blog for the love of reading, not too many cover reveals unless it's for a book I'm looking forward to. The blog became a little too much work overtime and especially when I had to run it alone I felt like I had to have a ton of content. I want this to be fun for me instead of it being an obligation. 

If you have any questions or have something you want to speak with me about of course you can comment here or email me at chillreviewsblog@gmail.com

Explaining our absence

Many of you may know or you may not. In October of 2018, my husband J was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic Esophageal cancer. He fought hard, we all fought hard but he lost his battle in February.

I haven't been in the mood to read more than a few pages of books and I let everything just go. I haven't signed up for any tours or reviews. I have a few books that have been sent to me by the authors that I need to put reviews up but they knew what my situation was and so they just wanted me to have the books because I am a fan and maybe so I could have an escape from my new reality.

Life is hard. PLEASE, if you have chronic heartburn get it checked. In all honesty, we thought we were taking care of it but clearly, we weren't watching it as closely as we should. Heartburn doesn't always lead to esophageal cancer but it can. It's always better to be safe than sorry and esophageal cancer is a silent killer. My husband was 38 years old.  We had plans, we were getting ready for our son to graduate and then we would be "empty nesters". We wouldn't have to worry about him if we wanted to go somewhere for our anniversary. It's all gone. All of those plans are null now.

Hug your loved ones and tell them how much they mean to you. I am lucky though, I had time to tell him over and over how much I loved him and we said everything we needed to say. I also have our son, he is a mini version of J.

I'll be trying to get things back on track but please be patient with me as I start getting back to doing this regularly.
