Despite having read a good number of books last month, I’ve fallen behind on some of the reading I wanted to get done. I still haven’t read Lady Susan for the Slaves discussion.
I know some of you are already reading your first book for the Once Upon a Time Challenge and some of you have even finished one book. Let me just say that I haven’t even started my Chunkster Challenge. Yikes.
Tuesday I have a book group meeting and I’m not done yet with The Dancing Girls of Lahore. What a sad book, perhaps that’s why it’s taking me a while to get through it. I will finish it but maybe not in time for the meeting.
In the meantime there are things around the web that are keeping me occupied. The latest Estella’s Revenge is out and it’s another great edition. Thank you again to Andi for the advance reader’s copy of the Barbara Seranella book and for posting my review.
My friend Isabel has decided to start a new reading challenge. It’s quite interesting so check it out, and best of all, it’s not as demanding as some of the others in the blogosphere.
Okay, I’m feeling slightly overwhelmed by all the books demanding my attention. Anyone else? I think I am in need of some brain candy. I’m off to stare at my bookshelves and find some light reading.
I don;t do any of the challenges. I want to but I barely have time to do anything, nevermind meet reading deadlines.
Books that make you think or evoke lots of emotion are so hard. I just read Exile and it has gotten to me. I even wrote about it yesterday. I need fluff right now.
I’m full occupied with the Once Upon a Time Challenge right now. My stacks and TBR list sometimes seem to put a damper on my reading mood as each book seems to be demanding its turn! I’m always up for brain candy, though, and many of the fantasy books take care of that nicely~ pure entertainment.
Oh me too. Then I come to work and read all these blog posts about great books and get all inspired to read more more MORE! and then get home to my books and don’t get anywhere.
Yes, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the challenge books. They’re all books I want to read, I just wish I could read faster I guess. I think I may have to have a fluff break soon.
Thank you! Loved your review.
Interesting stuff going on! I like the sound of the Once Upon Time Challenge. I need to catch up on the latest issue of Estella’s Revenge (very interesting site). Isabel’s challenge sounds good too. Not sure I have time for any challenges at the moment but I might just give them a try…
I always feel a little bit overwhelmed! I am nearing the end of a few books, though, so that is always good. On the other hand I am firmly in the middle (or at the beginning of others!). And as usual I am behind in my blog reading. Something always seems to suffer…
I sometimes wish we could have maybe five more hours during the day…but then we would probably end up having to work longer…ugh.
Nancy – I am trying to not join so many challenges but I think it’s my book groups that are really taking me away from my reading. I think I may need a little break. Can’t wait to read your review on Exiled.
Jenclair – I agree. Especially as I tend to be a moody reader and have a hard time sticking with a set reading plan. The last thing I want is for reading to become a chore! I will look to mysteries for my brain candy 🙂
Lisa – That is the thing about book blogging isn’t it? I can so easily be swayed to start a new book or go look for a new author after someone has written a great post.
Tanabata – If only we had more time right? Hope you find a good fluffy book too!
Andi – Thank you girl!
Christine – Don’t they all sound good? See that’s why I get all overhwelmed. I want to do it all! ha.
Danielle – Isn’t it fun to get near the end of a book? Then you have to look forward to new books 🙂 I know what you mean about falling behind on the blog reading.. that happens to me on the weekends as I try to stay away from the computer as much as possible. I may have to start sneaking in some time though 🙂
