Maybe I COULD use a little practice, but at least I'm not like the girls in my grade who gather in small clusters at the close of the school day to discuss who's dating whom. Many of these bookish confessions I agree with. I squeal with you when I see UPS, too.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746620235233224319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-71022339218722478042014-07-14T13:05:36.241-07:002014-07-14T13:05:36.241-07:00I loved this post.

I relate to it in so many ways--especially the reading v. socializing hypocrite (though my oldest appears to be an extrovert and I'm still trying to figure out how THAT happened. At least he still likes to read). And my TBR list is ridiculous (probably not as bad as yours, but even reading 3-4 books a week won't get me through it any time soon).Rosalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13533288555696717340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-29871948184085707672014-07-10T21:04:36.225-07:002014-07-10T21:04:36.225-07:00Same here!!

I have no idea what I'd do if they loved books <i>too</i> much and even I thought it was getting unbalanced. =P But that's a good problem to have, aye? LOL!

Haha your #4 is completely true to me but in the last few days of the year I try to read as much short-stories from the series I read as I can, they are like 10 to 100 pages long or and they count on my challenge!

When I was younger I would avoid all socializing and read through everything. Now I'm a lot better about getting out there and socializing rather than reading all the time.
