On the other hand, sometimes I put off blogging, because I don't know what to say in my review besides, "well, it was OK."

So not only am I blogging like crazy.. but once I am caught up on there I find myself wondering around elsewhere. <br /><br />That is too funny about your library wishlist. I wonder if mine has one now (will surf over there as soon as I am done here now!!). I guess another thing I like about internet and blogging is that I can watch TV while doing it. Where reading I am focused a little more on the book.

So during the day I tell myself I'm going to get my blogging and commenting/visiting back done.. then I end up doing.. random things.. like reddit, facebook.. tumblr.. occasionally pinterest.. wherever my fingers wander.. <br /><br />I'm glad I'm not the only one who is a procrastinator though! When I'm not in the mood to read and I'm in bed (my reading time) I use my ipad and go to the Overdrive e-library and check out books to read and add them to my wish list.. [I convince myself that I'm still doing something useful..] you can tell how much I've used this method of avoidance of my books because i have over 200 books on my library wish list.. *feigns innocence*April @ My Shelf Confessionshttp://www.myshelfconfessions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-28638610389260318712014-01-12T12:25:21.467-07:002014-01-12T12:25:21.467-07:00LOL!

If you ...LOL so turns out I'm not the only one. If you look at the clock right now you'll notice that it's 1:24 AM... I planned to get off at 11:30 so I could read before I went to bed. But then I thought well if I stay on a bit longer I could finish replying to comments and still be on when my sunday posts goes live - which means I could link up to Kimba before I go to bed. Well, responding to comments took longer, kimba had great links (like this one) and ta-da, I've eaten away my reading time with blogging. So yes... My name is Berls and I procrastinate reading. LOL great post!

Me I try to tell myself you need to read and finish that book so you can get a book review up on your site. After all.. it is a book blog. But then I start watching a movie.. or a show... or hell start blog hopping and that book is just sitting here. ARCs are hard. I only read books I want to read I don't normally review ARCs. I feel bad sometimes because I know it helps authors out but I just don't have time for all those books... because you know... TV and all.

I procrastinate on writing blog posts, replying to comments, and blog hopping because I want to read more. Gods, how I wish that I have 2 sets of eyes and hands so can do all of them at the same time. <br /><br />Alas, one could only do so much. Gosh, I just love reading over everything else. I really don't reading fat books.

It is hard because the computer is so involved in my reading. I like to read and update my book progress on Goodreads or take notes on something and a computer is always so close, and they suck you in. I can completely relate.

I have one book that needs to have a review post written for it and at least one movie review I want to write up. <br /><br />Currently the two books I'm reading aren't grabbing my attention so I tend to find excuses to not read those. Usually I don't put off starting a book unless it is huge too.

I'm a mood reader and read what interests me at the time. So it can take a while for me to pick up an ARC that I need to review right away, which of course has me scrambling at the end to read it. With that being said, I don't think I've ever procrastinated reading with blogging.Amy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09469840598932429910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507186203094106045.post-90542321786006343182014-01-10T18:42:15.563-07:002014-01-10T18:42:15.563-07:00That is something I do too now that I think about ...That is something I do too now that I think about it. When I don't want to read a book I'll read a short graphic novel/comic instead.
