Lots of reflection, ruminating and trying to understand people and relationships. <br /><br />I agree about the TBR mountain and list. I think we need to petition for an extra day a week just for reading or clone ourselves or just say to heck with our other tasks.<br /><br />I'm lucky. I live near gourmet stores that deliver, so when I want to read exclusively, I get food delivered and just turn the pages.
