One reason it has been a week since I’ve blogged is that I find myself with too many books to read. I love books and reading, but I’ve let my TBR (too be read) list get clogged up. I have even taken to reading multiples at a time to try to catch up. Just now, I’m reading Black Helicopters by Caitlin R. Kiernen, The Cage-Maker by Nicole Seitz, and Cemetery Road by Greg Isles. Michelle Obama sits on the mantel staring out at me with her beautiful smile from the cover of her book Becoming, asking “When will you get to me?” An intriguing copy of Philip Shirley’s The Graceland Conspiracy lies on top of the end table beside the couch. The Sally Field biography e-book is about to expire and be recalled to the library. And I don’t know how many titles from Amazon are stored on my Kindle, waiting for my eyes.
How did I ever get them piled up like this? I don’t know. I think I need to take a couple of weeks off from all my day-to-day doings, go to the beach, and read to my heart’s content. Maybe after the quilt show in June.

Too many books?? Never! Not enough hours, perhaps. Surrounding yourself with books is what you should do.

What a glorious conundrum! No, you don't need to wait to go to the beach. Just put a load of laundry in the washer and sit to read. Move the laundry to the dryer, either start another load of laundry or start the dishwasher, and sit to read. It's the best kind of multi-tasking and you deserve time to read. Enjoy!
Oh, have some lemonade or iced tea along with the phones next to you so you don't have to get up unless the laundry calls.
Hugs!
