Here I am, a month later, having NOT updated since early March. What happened to me? I am almost finished with The Handmaid's Tale (yeah yeah, I know, it's been months) but I feel like I'm relying too much on my 'summer vacation' to get through my overwhelming list of books to read. I also weighed myself yesterday and I've put about 6 pounds on over the last few weeks of not going to the gym. I'm really feeling down on myself right now for slacking and not getting through this, but it's so hard to find the motivation after working all day... I just want to bum around and skype/chat with people, watch tv, and not think about literature, but I know that reading is actually one of my favorite things to do and I miss it.
Now I've got myself thinking about my list of books. I really wish I hadn't made a set list, because there are so many books that have been recommended to me recently, and books that have come out, but I feel the need to finish my list before I can get to anything else. I might consider switching out a few books, but we'll cross that bridge when I finally finish The Handmaid's Tale.
Other than that, the weather is getting so nice, so I might be able to start reading on the back deck soon...
