I have learned that I don't like "stretching" myself. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to participate more in Saturday reviews and carnivals this year as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-90244407798244639282009-01-05T06:35:00.000-05:002009-01-05T06:35:00.000-05:00I simply stopped signing up for challenges.

I joined one challenge and it immediately put a damper on my reading. At this point in my reading life, I think I need to keep things light. Unlike many bloggers, I don't get ARCs (I don't even know how!) so I don't have any reading obligations. I think I should leave it that way for a while.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-22475161401571031582009-01-03T22:57:00.000-05:002009-01-03T22:57:00.000-05:00After several months, I am still learning when to ...After several months, I am still learning when to abandon a book and when to stick with it. I got into a rut where I didn't stick with any books because I was too accustomed to television. So I forced myself to stick with a few books and eventually got back to the place where books excited me again. Then I picked a few books that just weren't for me but I was afraid that I was just giving up too easily. Back and forth -- it's like a dance!Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.com
