I am reviving this little feature after eight years. You might see a couple recycled from when I did this in 2016, but they were funny then and they are still funny now. Occasionally they will be more introspective or comforting. No matter what, they will be about reading and books.
Happy Reading!

*FIFTY FOUR*..... [lol] TWO is my limit... THREE at the extreme! True though... Even if I'm already reading something, or multiple somethings, I'm still drawn to any *new* books I pick up... [lol]
ReplyDeleteThat's my problem...the new books come in at the library and the older ones get shoved to the bottom of the pile. It's a problem. OH! And the ARCs...
DeleteAnd one is my limit. I choose what I will read pretty carefully and once I start a book, it's a monogamous relationship...until I finish and move on to the next one!
ReplyDeleteI just can't. I even tried just keeping it to those currently on my Currently Reading list, but new ones just came in from the library, so that fell apart really quickly.
DeleteCatch-22.
ReplyDeleteI read at least five books at the same time. I have the feeling, I get to read more.
I feel like I read way more. There's a big difference between not being interested in the moment, and losing total interest completely. I just flit from one book to the next and eventually finish them all.
DeleteI keep telling that to people who can't believe how much I read - not as much as you, though, but we all have our limits.
DeleteReading is my therapy though, I am an anomaly I think! I will drop everything else when Eleanor is gone, just to make sure the time goes by as quickly as possible.
DeleteThat is true for me, as well. I would never have survived twenty years in a country where everybody seemed to hate me for where I come from if I hadn't had my books.
DeleteWhat an awful experience. What country?
DeleteDidn't I mention it before? We lived in the Netherlands and they hate us. Even today. My kids were called Nazis by other kids. And that is just one example.
DeleteI remember you talking about living there, what an awful experience. I'm so sorry for you and your kids. And glad you're not living there anymore!
DeleteThe worst twenty years of my life.
DeleteIt wasn't my favorite city to visit, I can't imagine having to live there under that strain of people being awful all the time.
DeleteWell, it's not as bad in the larger cities since there are a lot of foreigners living there. But in the countryside and especially in the South, it is really bad.
DeleteThat makes sense. Sorry that happened to you, glad you're not there anymore.
DeleteOh, so am I.
