Happy Sunday!
I was away last week having a lovely vacation in Florida with my husband. I had my Kindle filled with books and finished a few. It was fun.
Now, I'm back home and taking a look at my blog and trying to decide where I want to go with them. As I've said before, I'm already cutting back on the number of reviews and blog tours I accept. I have no choice but to be very selective and I know many of you are in the same boat as I am.
I've also decided to be selective when choosing reading challenges. When I first started blogging, I joined a ton of them. No, I didn't finish them all but I got over being worried about it and just enjoy it. Now, I'm joining a select few - some are to help me focus and complete some of my reading goals. There are a couple I will be joining simply because I love them and have fun with them. I'm hosting the same three that I have been hosting for the last couple of years. The challenges I've joined so far are listed here. There will be a couple of more coming as soon at the hosts announce them.
It's hard to believe that 2013 is almost over, but there's only a month and a half left. That sure went fast!
I hope you all have a great week and read many great books!

What was your week like?
Great thoughts about the challenges :)
ReplyDeleteYou are right. It is easy to get carried away with fun challenges and tours here on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about book challenges. I took on too many this year and am still feeling annoyed at myself for those I haven't completed. I will join some for 2014, but will be more selective. I'm planning to sign up for your cozy challenge...
ReplyDeleteI agree about the challenges...in looking at what I finished easily, and then what was a struggle...well, that helps.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of A Secondhand Murder and enjoy that author. Thanks for visiting my blog.
I am selective too Yvonne. Glad you had fun on vacation and so lovely that you got to read a little too. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI agree about challenges. It works best for me if I pick challenges that will interest me and that I'm likely to want to read anyway -- like Cruisin' Through the Cozies. (Thank you for hosting that, BTW.)
ReplyDeleteI am happy that you have a great time in Florida. Enjoy your week.

Yay for vacations and reading! :)
ReplyDeleteI need to look at what I've signed up for for next year; I may have taken on too many. Being selective is definitely a good thing.
Yvonne, I have cut back on my reading challenges and book tours. There are only so many hours in the course of a day! How nice that you had a vacation and read! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand about having to cut back and be selective things can get a bit carried away at times. Glad you've enjoyed your vacation. Have a lovely week.
