I am combining two great blog hops: Stacking The Shelves (a Saturday feature by Team Tynga's Reviews), and Sunday Post (a Sunday feature by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer). Both of these features give people a chance to post about what books they received and also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what others are excited about. I really enjoy see everyone's version of these features! If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me via Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, GFC, or by email subscription. If you leave a comment and tell me you are a new follower, I will follow you back!
On The Blog:
Monday: Bay Area Book Events # 87
Tuesday: Take Control of your TBR Challenge
I have come to a big decision regarding my blog. I am discontinuing my weekly post, Bay Area Book Events. There are several reasons for this, but chief among them is that it is an enormous time suck! It takes me around two and a half hours each week to create this post, without much in the way of readership. So for my own sanity, I need to let it go.
I will focus more on book reviews, and on writing my own book!
In Real Life:
It's been a strange couple of weeks for me. The husband of a friend of mine passed away unexpectedly. Then yesterday, I learned that a friend from high school died, as well. Both of these people were relatively young, and had kids still in school. This has really made me think about my own life and how I want to use my limited time.
Part of that is making it a priority to read all of the books I already have on my bookshelves. Why do I continue to purchase books when I haven't even read the ones I have staring at me on my bookcase? I think it's because I seem to chase what it new and shiny, rather than appreciate what I have right in front of me.
So there are no new books for me, at least for this week...
What I have been reading:
How are you doing on your TBR pile? Can you actually resist getting new books? Tell me how you do it in the comments.
