Update on the Spring's Serenity Read-a-Thon


I haven't managed to do much here on the blog this week because I've been so busy reading! The Spring's Serenity Read-a-Thon, hosted by The True Book Addict, has been going on since Monday, and will end at midnight on Sunday.

So far, I've read 509 pages this week. Not a lot for many book bloggers, but on a normal week, I would have read about 100 pages within that time, maybe 200 if I was really into a book or on a deadline. So I've been reading a lot more than usual!

I finished Hotel Angeline: A Novel in 36 Voices. I hope to write the review within the next few days. I also read In the Lap of the Gods by Li Miao Lovett. Now I'm reading The Pharos Objective by David Sakmyster.

I'll have plenty of reviews to write when I'm done with this Read-a-Thon! I hope if you're participating that it's going well and you're enjoying your reading!

    Unfortunately, I haven't done much reading this week. With having to move the rest of the stuff out of our house, which was not planned when I scheduled the read-a-thon, I have only had time to manage the read-a-thon and comment on participants blogs. Oh, well...my summer read-a-thon will be in July so I can look forward to that. Plus there is one on Goodreads next week and another one coming up soon as well. I'm glad you're doing great. I hope you've been getting some entries in your mini-challenge. Have a great weekend!

    I've managed to do MUCH MORE reading than usual, and I've been loving it. When the next one comes up, I'll have full-time classes and probably work, too, so I'll be lucky to get one or two books in. It helps a lot that I don't really watch TV much!

Getting back to blogging

It seems that blogging has dropped to the bottom of my list for the past year, and was pretty low for the year or two prior to that. I love to read, and am continuing to do so, but as my regular readers know I haven't been around much. My last blog post was almost a year ago!!

There are many things that have taken me away from blogging. Work has been much more challenging and interesting these past few years, but that means I really don't want to get back on the computer when I get home at night - or on the weekends.

Family life has been more busy with kids having multiple activities in the evenings, leaving little time to just hang out and write about the books that I read.

I will admit to a bit of a Facebook addiction, which means way too much time spent scrolling through my newsfeed instead of doing something more productive. This is one of the things I'm working on and hoping that this will free up some time for getting back to the blog.

Overall, life is good. Work is …
