Hello fellow bookgeeks :)
Lately I have been drawing a blank on everything - there are no words coming out of my mouth, lol! I have a ton of thoughts; but when it comes time to speak to someone, text, or even write a book review... nothing! And I can't figure out why! SO frustrating!
I keep blaming it on lack of sleep, I'm too old to continue to only get about 4-5 hours a night. But with kids and worries, its been hard lately. And, I always have to read before rolling over and going to sleep - it's a habit that I don't want to ever break! But, that comes with consequences too; sometimes I get caught up in the book and time goes by... time that I could be catching a few extra z's.
So, my question for those of you who are in the same or similar position:
Do you put a time limit on your reading? Maybe a page/chapter limit?
I really need some guidance on time management ;)
Anywhooo... I received a few awesome books this week to make everything worthwhile :)
How'd you guys do???

I was having similar sleeping issues. Lately I put myself to bed by 10:30 with a book and allow 30-60 minutes of reading before lights out. Been meaning to try the Faerie series. Happy reading :-)

Those Maggie Stiefvater paperbacks are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice haul! I have very little time, I work in the evenings and have a 3 1/2 year old. I get to read and review when he's napping (these days it's not very long anymore) and before I go to bed. I don't put a time limit on it at night but that's just because once I feel like I'm getting sleepy, nothing is going to keep me awake. I've fallen asleep sitting up with my fingers on the keyboard. I don't sleep much. Every few weeks I get in a rut and don't feel like blogging, but I make myself do the It's Monday! posted, Top Ten Tuesday and Waiting on Wednesday and mmHg the end of the week I'm usually good for at least a review. I hope you get some rest soon and enjoy your new books.
