Can't Keep Up

[LunaMoth]

With the new year close, and a whole rainbow of new books coming out next year, does it feel a little overwhelming? i have in my qeue of reading, 160 some odd books (i deleted about 40+ from my list), not including new ones coming out,  i hate to be so behind  because i see alot of your blogs and how your all up on the newest books, but i finally have a chance to read all the ones i havent yet..

reading is stressfull lol

[bookrooted]

same here. but its worth it(:

I know exactly what you mean. I haven't stopped reading all break! I go to college courses even though I'm in HS, and that occupies enough of my time. Plus I spend 10+ hours at church every week with youth group stuff in addition to normal service, so it's kind of busy, and I rarely get the time to read. So yes, feeling swamped! Haha

I actually rather enjoy it. It gives me a safe feeling almost to know that there's always a book waiting to be read that I'm excited about rather than having to scrounge around for one of the books I've read 12 times already or picking up something I don't really want to read.

I think that it is hard to keep up especially taking honors college classes and working and I get shocked when people say they have no clue what to read! Like Luna I have a list of about a 100 books I wanna buy let alone the 60 plus books I own that I havent gotten the time to read yet! I also am at the stage where I'm trying to keep up with adult romance and teen books which means twice as many good book releases.

I do read when I have time between everything that goes on. How do you like having an ereader? I'm not sure if I wanna get a kindle or nook.

[LunaMoth]

i cant really tell yah about the nook other then it turns the pages slower then the kinde (that much i know from boards) and that if you want a nook you need to order online, and wont be getting it untill past febuary its so backed up.

i LOVE my kindle. i dont even miss the paperbacks, and im actually reading more cause i can change the text size to bigger so i can see better and not get headaches or have the squint.  and you can have infinate amount of books in it ( and harback books are only 9.99 as apposed to the 15 or so you pay for them in stores!)

im gushing now...

Making time to read is sometimes so stressful. I always try to make time at night but sometimes its just to hard.

[Cheyenne_Catina]

i have like 10 list and over 150 books to read- not including the new ones!lol

its hard to keep up and read the older ones/ new series

everytime i get down in my list i fond 20 or 30 books to read, be them new. older ones

stressful, lol

[thaisra]

I have 105 books in my wishlist and about to add more. I've been reading the same two books for 3 weeks now because I have no time. It feel like ill be reading my current wishlist in four years!

thats how i feel, witch isnt a bad thing, i just wont be up on the latest stuff for a while (though when the next house of night novel, the next drizzt novel or the next vampire acandemy novel comes out ill stop my wishlist for them! lol)

[thaisra]

I have yet to read Vampire Academy #5 which I'll do soon, it's no.1 in my wishlist right now.

[Lexa555]

yeah but then you have to pay 200-300 for the ereader then on top of that even more money to buy the ebooks. just seems like a waste of 300 dollars to me especially when in 2-4 years there are always better things in electronics so then you just have to buy a new ereader which is another 300 down the drain. I just am running out of room to put all my books so an ereader would help with space issues. oh well thanks for the input Luna.

[Anjie_99]

With so many new books coming out is overwhelming, but im fine with it because it makes me feel like there's a book im looking forward to, and excited about. So i know i will never be stuck with nothing to read because i have all these books im itching for to come out, and read.

[redheart52]

I can't keep up. I have fallen behind. I still haven't read Hungar games or the Wicked Lovely sieries yet. But i did just buy them. I am still trying to read all of last years books.  For christmas i just bought 15 books and im trying to catch up. But i wish i had more money to get all the books that i want.

Luna,

I bet about everyone posting loves reading. Reading is a beautiful thing, and I intend not to let oppurtunities like reading slip throught my fingers. I read as much as I can, Though I don't "zip" through books, it doesn't bother me. As the same, so what if your a BIT behind on your reading? So what if you haven't updated your long list of books? It's ALL fine. I get behind once in a while, so does my sister, oh well, it happens to everyone. I may not have a long line of books, but I know what you mean. Again, it doesn't matter if you're behind! :-)

Hope a little encouragement goes a long way,

Write On!
WOA

Hey, i'm not complaining.

[ali_catt]

I know what you mean. It is hard to keep up on the lastest books coming out when you still have other books you haven't even read yet. I think its hard to keep up with the new arrivals especially because of school. All the homework an reading and projects and other stuff tire me out, so I end up not reading as much.
