Total # of books for the year: 29. Do you know that feeling of wanting to finish a book, but not wanting to finish it at the same time because it’s so, so good and the last book in a series and you just never want it to end? That was me this week with The Raven King. Since I also didn’t feel like reading anything else, I didn’t turn many pages, especially this weekend. Instead, I came up with a million other things I *needed* to do. Also, the Boyfriend was out of town all weekend so I was doing all the things I don’t do when he’s around for the sake of our relationship, including binge watching Gilmore Girls, catching up on Outlander, and listening to music he’s not into through my wonderfully loud stereo speakers instead of my headphones.

Total # of books for the year: 28. I’m late with this post because it’s Memorial Day; one of the darkest days of the year for me. It’s not a “happy” day and I don’t “celebrate” it because the definitions of those words don’t match up with what this day means. Instead, I stay off the internet to avoid all the attempts at patriotism and photos and videos that rip my heart into pieces even more than this day already does. I don’t go to cookouts or pool parties or waste money on useless crap that is on sale during a day when most people don’t have to work. Instead, I remember the soldiers I knew personally who were killed while in Iraq or Afghanistan and the funerals I attended for those who came back but couldn’t get those places out of their heads. I also practice a lot of self-care. I’ll be back later this week.

Total # of books for the year: 26. I’ve still got 5 reviews to write, and I’m hoping to have them posted before #COYER and my Sci-Fi Summer reading challenge start. Normally, I would think that wouldn’t be a problem, but I’m still struggling to find enough free moments I can string together to concentrate on a single piece of writing. While some people can start and stop writing a blog post as other things demand their attention, I’ve found that I’m at my best when I write a review in one go. Otherwise, I can’t remember what I wanted to write and I wind up staring at the screen in confusion. What book was that? Why did I enjoy it? DID I enjoy it? What do these chicken scratches in my book journal mean? *sigh* Hopefully signing up for the Infomagical challenge will help. Thanks, Andi, for mentioning it!

Total # of books for the year: 20. I’m in the process of reworking my daily routine to prioritize what is most important to me. I’m trying once again to save the bulk of my email reading and use of social media to Saturdays so that I can use my breaks at work for exercising and the little bit of free time after work for writing and reading. So far, I’ve only implemented using my breaks to go walking, since Bout of Books starts today. Next week might be a little light on posts since I won’t be writing anything except my daily updates this week, but after that, I hope to have at least one review posted.
