I would love to be the kind of reader who could have 2 or 3 books going at once, but sadly, I am not that talented!<br /><br />I also know what you mean about having to limit your time blogging and reading. A few years ago, I was in the same situation, and had to limit my bloggy visits to Wednesdays, when I would catch up. It got overwhelming pretty quickly. I hope that you find the time to do all that you want and need to do soon.zibileenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-5430039759352874012011-08-21T23:10:09.718-04:002011-08-21T23:10:09.718-04:00Congratulations on your nomination!

It's well-deserved!<br /><br />I've been reading one non-fiction book at bed-time, listening to an audiobook in the car, and reading whatever else I want to at all other times. I just started that this year and it's been working well for me. The audio and non-fiction can take a while for me to get through, but I'm still getting through my "fun" books at a good pace.Jennifer G.http://twitter.com/IntrovertedJennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318555580612720798.post-71554252618678950902011-08-21T22:31:36.654-04:002011-08-21T22:31:36.654-04:00I agree with you - I feel so honored for the same ...I agree with you - I feel so honored for the same reason.
