  • I've been so slammed with work since going back.  I'm just now coming out from my cave.  Hopefully I'll finally get some reading done and re-engage in my social life (erm, online social life?)

  • I hope it picks up a little! Although, I'll be gone the rest of this week, at least during the daytime. I've got a business trip, gross. I wish I could use mobile, but it just REFUSES to let me use my actual account.

  • I haven't had much time to read since my edit letter arrived, so I feel like there's nothing for me to contribute right now. :( But I still pop in to lurk every so often.

  • Work sucks, I got promoted in August and now someone quit so I get to do his job now too, go me.  If you see reports of a Maine woman that's gone on a murderous rampage, that's me.

  • I've been busy too. In between work and studying I don't have much time to read, much less post. It looks like everyone is busy so at least I'm not missing much.

  • Sorry.  I can't get here as much with the new job.  And then the move on top of that.  I do check in at night but it doesn't seem like there's a lot going on right now so I don't say much.

  • Ditto @revjen with the new job. Hopefully once I get used to my job I can ppst more. I miss you guys!!
  • Gah I have been in such a reading funk this entire year I feel like I have very little to contribute.

  • I can't have my phone or laptop during the day. I try to check in when I can, but it hasn't been much.

    I'm also in a reading funk, so I've been spending a lot of time getting caught up on House of Cards.

    This.  Also, DH has been picking really good shows to watch at night and therefore I've gotten just about no reading done lately...I just feel like I have nothing to say!

    Me too!  I've had a couple bursts of reading this year but recently I've been focusing on other stuff.  :-/
  • Our house just got over being sick, and I've been in a reading funk. Bah!

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

  • I have been a bitchy, emotional, angry bitch lately.  Not good company.
    90 books in 2015?

  • I have been trying to come on more lately. I am really trying hard to get to 85 books this year but I doubt it will happen. I am reading A Breath of Snow and Ashes and those books tend to take me FOREVER. TFC took me 2 months!!

    It's been crazy since school started. I walk the kids to school 3 times a day(either to drop off or pick up). We have activities after school. I haven't had much time to read. I wish I could just take a week and read all the books I want to. sigh

    2014 Reading Goal: 85

  • I hope I can join back in! I have participated in the past a few times, but fell away from participating after each of my kids were born. I hope to stay involved this time. : )

    I just finished The Mockingbird Next Door. I enjoyed the glimpse into the life of Harper Lee. I cannot wait to jump back into reading more and discussing books with you all again!

  • I hit my goal of 52 books for the year a few weeks ago. I guess I kind of stopped reading as much at that point.  Buuuut...tomorrow there is a big book bazaar at the library.  2 dollars a bag!  So I imagine reading for me will pick right back up again!
