This year‘s bookish resolution was to read no more than 3 books at a time. We‘re not 2 weeks in and we‘re not doing well - my library hold for this month‘s bookclub came in yesterday. So I started it. Then this morning To Paradise came in 2 weeks early - it‘ll take me 3 weeks and then some to get through it, and if I go to the back of the queue, I won‘t get it til May. So I started that too. 😬. Help! 📚📚📚
Cinfhen, Oryx, scripturient, Caroline2, Susanita, TrishB, jenniferw88, julesG, Leniverse, eraderneely, squirrelbrain, CGalinor3scripturient 😂 I heard that To Paradise moves rather quickly once you‘ve gotten into the story, despite it being a chunkster. Maybe that helps. 🙈 2y
rockpools @scripturient I think I‘m going to enjoy it - despite my reluctance to take on another chunkster! 2y
Caroline2 Argh! Yes! I‘m reading 4 books at the mo and it‘s stressing me out too!!! 😆 🤦♀️ 2y

scripturient @rockpools My copy will be delivered today and I plan to start on the weekend. Looking forward to it while also being mildly intimidated. (edited) 2y
Oryx I'm desperately trying to be good and finish my current one before starting To Paradise. But it's a struggle. 2y
julesG #BookNerdProblems - I'm reading too many books at the moment, too. 2y
TrishB I‘ve just started To Paradise with my breakfast 😁 unfortunately I now have to work!! 2y
Cinfhen I dropped everything for TP!! I‘m glad I did. It really sucks you in 🧡😁 2y
jenniferw88 I'm reading too many books too! 2y
rockpools @Caroline2 @julesG @jenniferw88 It‘s good to have company! 2y
rockpools @scripturient @Oryx I think it‘ll be worth the wait 😊 2y
rockpools @TrishB It really gets in the way, doesn‘t it?! 2y
rockpools @Cinfhen That might have to happen if I‘m to get through it in 21 days 😱. Glad you‘re still enjoying it though! 2y
Chrissyreadit I‘m a member of the #readmultiplebookssimultaneously club too 🤣 but I‘m a total mood reader and can‘t imagine not. 2y
rockpools @Chrissyreadit Ha! I‘m glad we‘re a club not a problem!! I can‘t imagine not doing either, but I was trying to limit it this year as I do get a little overwhelmed. Maybe I should just roll with it! 2y
TrishB It so does. 2y
Cinfhen It‘s going to demand 21 days of FULL ATTENTION 😁❣️😘 2y
squirrelbrain I too was trying to limit myself this year, but was just laughing at the height of my current pile of physical books, only 3 but all chunksters. Plus one audio, and two Kindle…🙄 What are we like?! 2y
Crazeedi Look at everyone ⬆️ saying the same thing!! I'm right there too! 4 books, Argghhhh!!! #blameitonlitsy 2y
AmyG Ha...I also started To Paradise. Screw the other books. 🤣 2y
Cortg My library system went fine free last year, but in the past, I‘d rather just pay the couple dollars in overdue fines then not finish and have to wait. I consider it my library donation 💰 2y
rockpools @Cinfhen THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN 🤣🤣 I might manage 10 minutes a couple of times a week 🙄 2y
rockpools @squirrelbrain My print pile is looking very civilised, if a bit chilly. But I‘ve got a 1200 page chunkster on Kindle and, somehow, THREE audiobooks on the go. I don‘t know how that happened! 2y
rockpools @Crazeedi I‘m loving that everyone‘s going … uh… yeah! And Litsy is 100% responsible! Good luck 😘 2y
rockpools @AmyG 🤣🤣 It‘s a plan! 2y
rockpools @Cortg I like your thinking. I do justify library reservation fees as supporting the greater good😁 Annoyingly though, this is an audiobook, so it‘ll automatically disappear after 21 days. And I‘m never sure when, so I need to get it finished at least a day before that… 2y
Centique I only read two books simultaneously but the pile next to my bed GROWS and then I‘m like - maybe I bail on this so I can get to that next one - so same problem but I end up bailing on some perfectly okay books. The power of the new ones! 😂😂 2y
rockpools @Centique 😂😂My ‘currently readings‘ very often become ‘currently not readings‘ before I ‘reshelve‘ them (ie bail on a perfectly good book without admitting it!) 🤫 2y
