I'm so glad this week is over! It was one of my busiest, since starting this semester, and it just might get busier. I didn't get much time this week to blog or even read blogs, which can be proved by the crazy number of unread items on my reader. Since I already had a panic attack on seeing that, I think you should see as well!
Crazy, huh? Would be good if I had a way to pause things so that nobody blogs when I can't catch up on them. ::wink::
I did have a relatively better success at reading than blogging. I finished Say you're one of them (review will be out tonight), Rainwater, and City of Ashes, and am now neck-deep in The Help, the book I've been waiting for since last October!
We just got some heavy snow this weekend, since Friday morning. I was so glad to see the alert message from my university that morning, just 10 minutes before my alarm, informing that university is closed for the day, which meant I could just switch off all alarms and curl back under my covers. The unexpectedly-gained couple of hours of sleep is a wonderful thing!
On to other Sunday things, I got two wonderful awards over the last week!
Marg @ Reading Adventures gave me the Dragon's Loyalty Award! Thanks, Marg!! :-) It's quite a pleasure reading your blog and doing the Library Loot meme!
This award is for those followers who are the most loyal and give bloggers joy by commenting regularly and giving their support. Pass it on to 3 to 7 followers who are as loyal as dragons.
Since I passed this on last week, I am not passing it this time. But thanks again to all my wonderful followers!
I also received the Prolific Blogger Award from Cat @ Tell me a Story, one of my favorite blogs! Thank you Cat!!

Congrats on the awards and good luck catching up ;)
But anyways, I can relate when you say that you're busy with school. I'm not in university so it isn't that bad, but my semester right now is so hectic. Happy reading!

Enjoy The Help! I'm #83 on my library's wait list. Maybe I'll have it in a few months!
I'm behind on my reader too~
Thanks for the award too! Given my procrastinatory (is this a word) habits, I'll probably pass it along sometime before the end of the year. LOL!
Juju, Piyush, thanks!
Alyce, 3000 did you say?? I think I feel better now. ;-)
Emidy, thanks for stopping by! School can really upset some best-laid plans!
Jennifer, you're welcome! Will wait for your review of The Help, when you get the copy! PS: the wait is totally worth it! :)
Vicki, you're welcome! Glad I'm not alone on playing catch-up with the reader.
Kristen, I try to use the Mark all as Read as well. Though sometimes, I get paranoid that I'll miss on some really important posts by doing that! :-( And you're welcome! :)
