I have taken some steps to cut back on some challenges, weekly events, ARCs and that sort of thing. It doesn't mean I don't do those - I mean, I have fun. But, like you said, sometimes all those become obligations and take away the fun. So I hope your library loot pulls you out of the funk. You've got some great books there so enjoy them!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-74796335901317126162009-03-04T21:09:00.000-06:002009-03-04T21:09:00.000-06:00I love both Wicked Lovely and the Hunger Games...I...I love both Wicked Lovely and the Hunger Games...I hope you'll post your thoughts! :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-36601345539006099852009-03-04T20:32:00.000-06:002009-03-04T20:32:00.000-06:00Sorry that you were sick but glad that you are fel...Sorry that you were sick but glad that you are felling better.

I totally know what the reading and blogging funk is like, and it's a terrible feeling. But the best way to get out of it is to do exactly what you're doing: reading books you absolutely know you'll like. I have "The Graveyard Book" on my nightstand as we speak, calling my name. Is it possible we're the only two in the blogosphere who hasn't read it yet? :)<BR/><BR/>Have fun with all those wonderful books!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-74901345761071873232009-03-04T11:04:00.000-06:002009-03-04T11:04:00.000-06:00This is such a perfectly timed post. We all just ...This is such a perfectly timed post. We all just got over being sick (I second the 'I'd rather break a bone than throw up' sentiment!). Also, I have a huge stack of ARCs (10 or so) plus another 10 TBR pile books and 20 library books. I'm so overextended it's not even funny, and I find myself avoiding reading, even though I have a ton of great books available. I like getting free books by way of ARCs, but the timeline and responsibility is getting to me too. That and it feels like I will never make a dent in my 800+ item TBR list. Sorry to ramble, it's just comforting to hear that someone else is feeling the same way I am.Michelle Olsen Sasakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331418808688939638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-34117504278657800402009-03-04T08:54:00.000-06:002009-03-04T08:54:00.000-06:00Hi Stephanie!

I understand missing the just picking up a book to read because you want to - not because you have to. That's one reason I haven't tried harder for ARCs. I'd love them, but I feel like I don't have time for the responsibility that goes with them. Feel better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-18692377511141391062009-03-04T08:51:00.000-06:002009-03-04T08:51:00.000-06:00I know what you mean about overextending yourself....I know what you mean about overextending yourself.
