I'm just too busy right now to blog with any regularity, and now that my life is a little more full, I seem to have less interest in writing about it (odd).

I know all about "the post is done in my head" thoughts, since I have those often too. so many posts written in my mind! I'm delighted that you are still working on posts, it's more like a hiatus you are on. Just so long as you get to read :-) <br /><br />Kim: Yes, it seems a lot of us have come to realizing that we could blog a lot, or we could read a little more....and in the end, it is all about reading and love of books, isn't it? Thanks for the congratulations :-) Both are fun to do, reading is my number one love.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-62468118750512649202013-10-10T21:16:39.494-04:002013-10-10T21:16:39.494-04:00I've come to the realization that I also love ...I've come to the realization that I also love reading more than blogging, so if given the choice in limited time I'll usually decide to read :) I think that's ok though, especially after six years.

I wasn't sure if you had stopped and I hope you don't, but understand if you do (does that make any sense?). What are you doing these days, are you back to work? and happy 7th blogiversary to you, too, belated! Maybe you are having a version of the 7 year itch of blogs? <br /><br />Robin: Yes, I hope we are both blogging still next year(and Emily above, and Diane, and so many others hovering over the edge to stay or not).

I think that I, like you, have mostly given it up because it eats into my reading time, of which I have very little it seems these days. Many of those you mention here who've made your TBR pile topple over have made mine do so as well. And, of course, you have, too! Thanks for all the bloggin you've done over the past 6 years. I'm not the most frequent visitor, but I do love to read you when I manage to stop by.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-71866194340585909672013-10-07T20:06:03.909-04:002013-10-07T20:06:03.909-04:00Wendy: I know, six whole years!

So definitely not a prolific blogger! <br /><br />I'm sad too at so many bloggers leaving, I miss them all. Each blogging voice has a quality to it that none others have. The personality peeking through...I'm so happy you've stuck with it, I know it's been a challenge, especially since you've had Maggie. I would miss you so much if you left! So many people would, I think. <br /><br />I'm so glad I know you too, Wendy. This is what makes blogging so real, the friendships we make and the connections we make.

Has it really been six years? <br /><br />I understand what you mean about blogging cutting into reading time, especially with everything else going on in life, particularly since I had a child. I am glad you have stuck with it, even despite how busy life can be. I've seen so many bloggers I love leaving their blogs behind lately, and it makes me sad. I have considered it too, I admit, but I just can't let go of blogging yet. :-)<br /><br />The True Story of Hansel and Gretel! I have never forgotten that book.<br /><br />I am glad to have you in my life, Susan.

It would be fun to be buddies with you so we have a check-in every day with each other :-)<br /><br />Chris: thank you so much! and thanks for the lovely compliment, too. *aw shucks, I'm blushing* As busy as I am, so are you, so I think it's wonderful news that you can keep blogging, as sparse as it is now for you, it's perfectly understandable with everything going on with you. <br /><br />You are one of the originals of the book community, and so kind and thoughtful and funny and dear. I would miss you so if you had to go! Very happy to hear you are working on how you can stay with blogging *hugs friend back*<br /><br />Geranium Cat: thank you so much! it is a balance, isn't it? so we keep having a full and rich life, and the blogging adds to it, not taking it over. <br /><br />I'll check for your email, thanks! No one ever said as we age that things just simply stop working or don't work the same way any more....you make me glad there are e-readers out there, now.<br /><br />Diane: thank you! It's funny, blogging is fun, but it does take time and energy, and it really does end up cutting into my reading time. Are you finding the same? At least it sounds like you're struggling with the balancing act, too. Reading has to take precedence, at least for me, it does. Once I realized that, blogging became a little bit more fun and I could get back to reading as much as I wanted to. I hope you (and all of us, it sounds like!) find the balance, and can keep blogging. I would miss you, if you left (though understand why, if you did).Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-88506448932466385872013-10-07T00:37:46.242-04:002013-10-07T00:37:46.242-04:00Suey: thank you!

You lead a busy life juggling family, work, social life, interests... I honestly don't know how you it, Susan. It's impossible to do everything and we understand when you're quiet for a bit, we always know you will return with renewed energy. And thank you for mentioning me. You're absolutely one of my favourite bloggers and I consider you a close friend now. As with a few others I do wish we lived closer and could actually speak and swap books in person.
