I'll be able to spend more time reading when it arrives as i'll be able to take books with me when I'm out to read. It's just really weird right now having to actually make a date to read.

In fact I was at Borders today looking for a book my daughter wanted. I will warn my family in advance when a book is coming out and I know that I won't be able to put it down. Case in point, the latest Fever book from Karen Marie Moning. I didn't even want to sleep. I also can remember details about books.

And it is so true, as we become writers and published authors our time for reading shrinks away. I try hard to fit it in, but sometimes I just can't find the time. That's why my tbr list is so big too.<br /><br />Great post!Kaye Manrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03639814610213100626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-17188459391386955302011-02-20T13:58:24.812-05:002011-02-20T13:58:24.812-05:00Hi Kat - First off - I want to read like you!!

It's really tough to do both, especially if you want more than one book out there (which is where I'm at right now). Congratulations, Kat - you are so deserving of your success.<br />Kay DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-11984108153551482782011-02-20T13:44:33.811-05:002011-02-20T13:44:33.811-05:00I used to love the standard testing time in elemen...I used to love the standard testing time in elementary school, b'c that meant I could rush through the English part (reading, spelling, etc) and then READ until the time was up.

The principal finally gave up and let me just stay in the library at noon recess. Now, thanks to being able to carry a library in my purse via my Nook, I read while I'm waiting--in the drive thru, at the dept. of licensing, on break at work...any time I can. Right now, though, they're mostly school books as I Elleehttp://elleebrown.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-83542728924590913252011-02-20T09:40:06.825-05:002011-02-20T09:40:06.825-05:00I came from a family of readers so our house was a...I came from a family of readers so our house was always stuffed with books and we maxed out our library cards every week. I loved Enid Blyton! <br /><br />I also had a much older brother but I read way above my grade level so I would poach his books. My mother did not censor my reading so I read some wildly inappropriate stuff!<br /><br />I prefer to read ebooks now but still make a trip to the Melisse Aireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478569639424075550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-35550893775282927592011-02-20T08:46:22.345-05:002011-02-20T08:46:22.345-05:00I read when I wake up, usually for about an hour b...I read when I wake up, usually for about an hour before I get out of bed. I'll read at night before I go to bed. And some days, if I'm having a bad writing day or just a blah day in general, I'll take the whole day to read. And it doesn't have to be romance, though it often is, a fair amount of time is spent reading craft books...<br /><br />I fell in love with reading when I was Lissa Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849005112321761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-70376089080878362822011-02-20T07:53:11.825-05:002011-02-20T07:53:11.825-05:00Congratulations on having a passion for writing an...Congratulations on having a passion for writing and finding the time to write.

At age eight, I discovered Enid Blyton and I think I have read every series she ever wrote, Famous Five, Secret Seven etc. I too was a tad pompous. Hell, what normal 16 year old reads Dostoevsky and Tolstoy? But then I discovered Margaret Mitchell. Oh hail to the creator of Gone With the Wind?
