Why oh why do I do it….
I have an end of May deadline for my next book on top of an already busy month with two library visits and a QWC writing course to run in Mission Beach, but still I go and buy irresistible books!! (And over the next month these three lovely authors, and Fiona Palmer, are visiting my blog to chat writing and all things rural!)
I doubt that my self-control will hold out for four weeks so I guess I have a couple of late nights coming my way
Surely I can’t be the only writer that does this to themselves…




It’s is indeed!! And we writers love our loyal readers
Without all you lovely writers, where would we readers be? I can’t resist either, but I don’t have your deadlines…just need to finish that book, so I can start another
The old ‘too many books, too little time’ is true for us all ;D
Definitely not alone with this problem, Helene.
They do look pretty though!
Juliet, I hear you!! I think we all need more reading time!
Mid-may?? Yikes, Karly – this it is the next KBM Rom suspense???
And thank you for your support:-)
Same problem here, Helene. Too many books and too little time! But with all your hard work with writing you deserve some reading time.
If it makes you feel better Helene…I’m on a MID May deadline!!!!and I keep getting distracted by all these lovely new releases too!!!!But we’re all hanging out for your new book—-so get busy!!!
Rachael, you’re so right! French champagne and travel feature high on my list as well as books!
And I’m sure you’ll find your way into many libraries – you’ll be doing author talks!!
I know, I know, Bec. I should stay away from book stores when I know I should be working!! I love the feel of a new book, the crisp pages, the wonderful words, the shiny covers:-)
Good luck with becoming a librarian – imagine being paid to play with books all day!!
And I’ll take your advice and be sure to take some time to read!
Oh Bec – good luck with your studies. In our old town, I used to work in a library and LOVED it. I was going to do my library studies but then we moved to a place where I don’t think I’ll get the chance to be in a library
Maybe one day!!
You have the exact same problem as me
But there are worse addictions. Good luck with your deadline!
ooh a new book – yah! how can you not go out and buy these lovely new books – i have a huge tbr pile and heaps of uni homework but doesn’t stop me buying these great new books either – i WILL get time to read them, plus i reckon its research – i’m studying to get a library job – don’t forget to take some time out to read
