The main reason I'm so far behind on reviews these days is that I have the choice - write a review or read and readding pretty much always wins. I was hoping that I would get some more done while travelling this week since I'd be away from the usual family responsibities - the 12-13 hour days have nixed that and it's all I can do to go through email before I crash at night.<br /><br />Oh, and the kids do have there own bookshelves already that are stuffed - and I've got quite a few books waiting to join those when they get a bit older.<br /><br />Maybe once the nest is fully empty you'll find some extra time - or maybe that time is taken up with all your trips to the US lately. Someday I imagine our paths will cross at those sort of events.Nethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963540055415924510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-91191525994531458032011-05-19T14:17:55.325-07:002011-05-19T14:17:55.325-07:00Well if you've done things right, they'll ...Well if you've done things right, they'll have their own books to fit into the house! Good thing is that they'll also borrow yours. :)<br /><br />My youngest is 18 today. House is full of books, written papers and computers.<br /><br />My problem is time to read books. What with consulting, family/house, WOT and embroidery I don't have that much left over. The blog eats up my potential reading time on my commute to work.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-47533368869469308962011-05-18T19:44:33.461-07:002011-05-18T19:44:33.461-07:00It varies, but I think right now I'm averaging...It varies, but I think right now I'm averaging about a book a day. It's awesome, but daunting. Right now I'm only reading about 10% of the books that I receive - and that doesn't account for the books I've bought for myself.<br /><br />And I'm always in need of more shelf space. <br /><br />Hopefully once my kids get a bit older I'll have more time for reading. But I imagine they'll have to get quite a bit older before I see a real change. (not that I'm in a hurry for them to get big just yet - time just flys by).Nethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963540055415924510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17224228.post-5772474212076126362011-05-18T03:53:18.590-07:002011-05-18T03:53:18.590-07:00So you received a little less than a book a day pr...So you received a little less than a book a day pretty much continually. There must be quite a gap between your book arrival rate and book reading rate.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767984732078916662noreply@blogger.com
