Harry Potter was great, but, um, is it July yet? ;-)<br /><br />Trisha - Glad you're sailing in the same boat as me. At least I'm in good company! =)<br /><br />Kathy - When you've got as big of a TBR pile as I've got these days, it is about quantity. LOL! ;-) That said, I really have been trying to focus on enjoying each individual book this year, and even gave up reading more than one book at a time, which really helped with the enjoyment factor! The slightly bigger reading total is just a side benefit. =)<br /><br />Colleen - I have, um, a good deal more ER books left than you do. *guiltily contemplates feet* I think the algorithm was too good to me for too long and now I'm feeling the pain! Thanks for trying, though! ;-)<br /><br />Diane - The review copies...they're just so shiny and new and tantalizing *cough*andfree*cough*. My eyes are always bigger than my available time for reading!<br /><br />Wendy - I can definitely see why you wouldn't want to go to the trouble of decorating. I hope there's more than enough holiday spirit and decorations around to fill the gap for you! It's so exciting to be having a baby, but I imagine it does make for an urgency to your reading. Who knows how much time you'll have for books once you're adjusting to having a little one around! Good luck fitting in some extra reading now, and I agree that unsolicited ones shouldn't count. ;-)<br /><br />Jenny - Bleak it most definitely was, but excellent also. I went with my 10 year old cousin, and unfortunately he frowns upon excessive clinging. ;-) I got choked up a few times but didn't really cry, possibly again because of the presence of aforementioned cousin. I have a feeling no one will stop me crying at the 2nd part when it comes out, though!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-33032989358793334392010-11-21T17:50:04.936-05:002010-11-21T17:50:04.936-05:00Enjoy Harry Potter!

I was so keyed up from all the tense, tense scenes that my hands were shaking when I was walking out. It got bleak. No Hogwarts = sadness.Jennyhttp://jennysbooks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-7428000013224434882010-11-21T15:02:36.728-05:002010-11-21T15:02:36.728-05:00It is indeed a busy time of year, isn't it? A...It is indeed a busy time of year, isn't it? At least on the home front. Things at work should start slowing down some for me, offering a nice balance.<br /><br />We aren't decorating for the holidays this year since the idea of unpacking any boxes when we're trying to pack up the house just seems wrong. I'll take joy in seeing everyone else's holiday spirit, I think.<br /><br />I know how you feel about review writing. I seem to be avoiding the computer more often than not these days, although lately I can't use the excuse that I'm reading instead as that seems to have slowed down as well.<br /><br />I'm no longer accepting books for review, trying desperately to catch up with the ones I have while I still can (before the baby comes). I know I won't come close at the rate I read, but I'm making an effort. Like you, I'm still receiving unsolicited books. Those I am not counting as must reads though--I'm either giving them away or setting them in my huge TBR collection for later.<br /><br />Enjoy the new Harry Potter movie! We hope to see it Thanksgiving Day. Take care, Megan, and enjoy the rest of the week! Happy Thanksgiving!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-12980684726344069972010-11-21T12:49:03.807-05:002010-11-21T12:49:03.807-05:00I can relate to your review copy blues Megan...LOL...I can relate to your review copy blues Megan...LOL (I will never read them all, nor would I want too (at least some of them, I never asked for).<br /><br />Hope you can relax over the holiday, and we will be here for you whenever you post.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-84297434972392559962010-11-21T11:22:17.933-05:002010-11-21T11:22:17.933-05:00Congrats on finishing more books than last year - ...Congrats on finishing more books than last year - what matters is that you are reading and enjoying what you read - the rest is secondary and will take care of itself eventually!<br /><br />If it is any comfort, I have 3 LT books to read/review . . . not looking promising for year end! :)Booksnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197753056299399065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710818943922563736.post-53260645484542397472010-11-21T10:18:17.277-05:002010-11-21T10:18:17.277-05:00Take it easy on yourself!
