Reading Rut
Blogger Bard says …
Do I ever get in a rut witrh my reading – want to explore different genres? No, not really. I tend to read a wide variety of genres and subjects anyway. If there is a rut it is that blogging/social netowrking runs into my reading time. Tech can often be a pain.

I know what you mean. I seem to spend more time reading blogs about reading than with my books these days.

Hi Karen, yes, it’s a big problem finding the right balance.

Haha well said. I agree that the reading is not the rut but the blogging. Good luck getting out of the hole!

Hi Pam, thanks for that. The problem is, I don’t really want to get out of the hole – I love blogging as much as book reading. What I need is a 36 hour day.

I hear you. Sometimes I find myself networking or blogging so much that I don’t have time to read!

It is so easy for social media to get in my way of reading. I must turn the computer off!
Here is my BTT.

Hi Lisa, we maybe don’t do that often enough.

I read a wide variety of genres, as well. So many books, so little time!
Anthony North said on May 26, 2011
Hi Mama Zen, yes, time is a very restricting concept.

Hi Allison, yes, that often happens to me, too.
Hi Mary, indeed.

I’ve noticed lately that blogging is really cutting into my reading time – not good.

Yeah, I totally agree with you. I used to read a book a day until I got my website. Now it seems I’m spending so much more time blogging about books instead of reading them.
Anthony North said on May 26, 2011
Hi Sally, it is a common problem.
Hi Gina, yes, it’s hard to find a balance.

Before I started blogging I read an average of 120 books a year. After – 50. This year? Closer to 20.
Anthony North said on May 27, 2011
Hi Alice, yes, this is how it goes.
