Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Please check out her website for more TTT topics!
This week’s topic is:
Things Getting in the Way of Reading (what’s taking up your time right now?)
This is an easy one lol…
- Being a single mom right now…my husband is in Okinawa and I’m juggling everything. So I’m tired…
2. When I sit down to read in the day, it makes me so sleepy I take a nap. And I’m usually exhausted by 9pm so I haven’t been reading past midnight unless it’s a book I can’t put down, like when I read Fourth Wing. Other than that, I’ve been sleeping early when I can!
3. I’m still trying to stay on top of my blood pressure and cholesterol (why does getting older suck? lol)…but this means I’m on still running on decaf, which isn’t much! And if I do happen to go for a full caff drink, I’ll be wired enough to do everything, but the crash at night is hard!
4. I’m in the mood for enemies to lovers romances and GOOD ones…but when it’s not good, it kills my reading mood. Also I just read a good one and now I’m in a book hangover – it’s a vicious cycle lol…
5. The end of May…I have a lot coming up including my kids last 2 weeks of school and all their class end of school parties, my nephew graduating on Saturday and then his graduation party, and packing for our Okinawa trip in 2 weeks! My calendar is kind of filled with STUFF…😩
Once I get done with May, I think I’ll have more time to catch up on reading!! How about you?

I understand the nap thing lol. I get snuggled up to read and knock out.
