Have I finished a book this week? No. Do I want to finish a book this weekend? Yes. Am I also going away this weekend to visit with family? Yes. Will my plans of being able to finish a book be foiled? Potentially.
I have put in an effort into trying to read every day and to try to finish a book every week but that isn’t always possible for me. I need to get back into the routine of reading every single day when I get home so I can be able to get a book read every week, but I guess the day just ends up getting away from me. I just need to build a habit of reading every day to make it work again!
I need to remember that it is and can honestly be more relaxing and more stress free to read at the end of the day than it is to watch some TV and to be on my phone. Especially when the games I am playing are built to be way more enticing so that way I will be on my phone for longer than I want to be and I don’t watch the vlog I have put on which is very sad because at the very end of the vlog, I am always disappointed that I didn’t watch it more. I mean if I need to be doing something with my hands as I am watching TV then I should be crafting.
Speaking of crafting, I showed you my sewing basket which I got when I was a child from my grandmother. Last year I ended up going through my entire sewing basket and was able to throw out and donate a lot of stuff that was in it but more over I was able to put a lot of stuff into little baggies that made sense and more assessable so I have been able to keep clean for a year now and I like how easy and manageable that it is that I find myself going back to it more often and I don’t dread using it at all. Everything is way more convenient for me and I think that I will try to keep it this clean and maybe I will go through it again in a year just to make sure that I am using it to its full extent.
I unhauled a bunch of my Jennifer Weiner books and my Mary Kay Andrews books because well, its no longer summer any more, they are at the bookstore quite often and well you know, the library has them in ‘stock’ and I am there 4 times a week to work plus once a week to volunteer so I am not to hard out to be able to borrow or purchase them again so I don’t feel too bad about donating them.
The hardest thing is, is that new books come out all the time and new summer reads come out in the summer every year so it’s hard just to be able to focus on books that came out a few years ago when new books come out all the time. I do have time to reconsider donating them, but the library book sale is coming up which means I will have access to a bunch new book which is always a good thing. I may be happy that I got rid of them, and I might now be, we will see.
There might be a themed vlog coming up with the Lisa Jewell books as I do have 6 of those books and I have read one of hers and I liked it already. It is just an idea though! Would you like to see an author themed vlog?
It honestly feels so great that I can unhaul & to DNF a book then to finish a book at the end of the week!
