I'm a gorger too. Right now I've been inhaling fantasy novels like a mad women, particularly The Song of Ice and Fire series...now I'm wanting more science fiction in my diet. Before both of those I was wanting contemporary. <br /><br />And I too am guilty of putting off school books, like right now when I'm catching up on comments and reading A Feast For Crows instead of Beowulf. xDAshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252698091519424174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862245241620136133.post-36888426708252707342013-01-27T19:45:03.148-08:002013-01-27T19:45:03.148-08:00I feel like I typically go through genres in round...I feel like I typically go through genres in rounds--so instead of a "balanced diet", it's more like one month I gorge myself on the book equivalents on carbs, but then the next month I'm a total vegetarian, etc. I also have lots of literature to read for classes, and I've just begun in the past year to read for fun again. I'll admit that sometimes I put my schoolwork books off in favor of my "fun books", but I don't feel as bad, because that's how I keep myself stress-free.

I keep looking ...I think we all feel that same way. I keep looking over at my TBR pile...which is a mess I might add...and it is just SO DISCOURAGING and anxiety inducing.<br /><br />I'm trying to make myself branch out too! I'm trying my best to read more classics and adult novels this year. I think I'm balanced-ish so far. Maybe. Probably not, but for the most part I'm okay with what I've read so far in 2013. <br /><br />Adult books are challenging. Its hard to find the right niche. I just keep bouncing around and trying a little bit of everything. Maybe try an adult version of a genre you love?

Which is not good for the galleys on my Kindle...I switched to reading comic books and some fantasy for a bit and I seem alright now. <br /><br />The only reason I'm having time to read is I'm neglecting other things...which now that school has started again I'm not going to be able to get away with for long. Sigh.<br /><br />OUCH. Sending virtual hugs your way. Also, a universal remote so you can freeze time and get some reading in!Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252698091519424174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862245241620136133.post-76313607461075265372013-01-26T12:52:23.186-08:002013-01-26T12:52:23.186-08:00Honestly?

And when I'm dead, there will still be millions and millions of books I have never, ever read and then I won't get the chance to :) So, I guess you already know my answer - this is the question I guess every avid reader faces and I think I'll just have to try to live with it :) However, I do try to make myself branch out a bit. Especially, of course, by reading from the different YA subgenres, but also by just randomly checking books out of my library that look interesting to me. I'm having a particularly hard time with adult books, though. I just can't make myself read them...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227894711128590561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862245241620136133.post-49228290404932160372013-01-24T07:14:08.571-08:002013-01-24T07:14:08.571-08:00I know I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm havin...I know I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm having much less time to read because of my regular life stuff. I'm still trying to read YA and adult books because I found I was getting burnt out just on YA, but I'm not having hardly any time to read at all! Just a little bit at bed time!!!<br /><br />I've only managed to read 4 books this whole month!Angela @ Reading Angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444833786368414559noreply@blogger.com
