Booking Through Reading
1. Do you get to read as much as you WANT to read?
2. If you had (magically) more time to read–what would you read? Something educational? Classic? Comfort Reading? Escapism? Magazines?
You know, a few months ago I would have said that I actually do read about as much as I want to. Nowadays this little growing baby is just making me so dang tired, the my main reading time has gone back to being only during lunch time at work. Heck, I’ve even had to nap during some of those lunchtimes. I’m basically totally useless after 7:30 or 8 pm, if I even make it that far. I can basically make it through eating (although not usually cooking) dinner, then it is just time to lay down. Even though I’m not going to sleep right away, I don’t have the energy to do more than lay in bed with my computer and the TV.
If I had more time, I would just read more of what I already read, finish books faster and move onto the next. Lots of historical fiction, general fiction, and memoirs, mostly, with some nonfiction thrown in for good measure.

It’ll all be worth in a few short months and then you’ll be reading board books with your baby!

From Kathy’s response I’ll guess you mean a baby not yet born. Oh boy do I know what you mean. With both kids I was SOOOO tired all the time. The lack of sleep is to prep you for after the baby LOL. My BTT is up

I remember not being able to keep my eyes open when I was pregnant. That exhaustion doesn’t last too long though.
I definitely do not have time to read right now and it is irking me to no end.

How do you manage to nap during lunchtime at work?? I’m jealous!
[Reply]
S. Krishna, don’t be jealous, I just slept in the back seat of my car with an alarm on my cell phone. Very un-glamorous.

I usually read two hours over breakfast every morning, taking my time and sitting at the sunniest spot at my neighborhood coffee shop. (It’s San Francisco…everyone has their coffee at the cafes). Then I’ll slip in some reading time when no students come for office hour. I’ll read a bit more at home in the evening since I don’t watch much TV.

I think your days of reading when you want are over dear.

No one has enough reading time, and we all could use more to read what we like. Happy BTT!

Enjoy all that sleep now!

When I was pregnant with the first I used to nap at work as well – with my head on the table taking up all the room. With my second, I napped on the sofa. Both times I had no chances to read at all. I feel for you.

Your days of leisure are over, my dear. If the kids go down to nap at the same time, I now ask myself, do I clean, blog, read, or take a nap?
[Reply]
I remember those dog-tired days of early pregnancy. (BTW, congrats.) Soon enough you will be in the “can’t sleep because the baby’s sticking his foot in my rib cage” days and then you’ll have time to read again.
