"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
2010 started with a good note for me. Personally I am on the top of the world and next few months, I will undergo major changes in my life. I am really looking forward to that. I feel blessed and in a very happy state which I know will continue for a long time to come.
Why am I saying all this here? In my joyous state, I am not able to read much. I have to do so much right now that reading simply doesn't happen. I am not really worried but I would like to read more. In February, I have only managed to read two books. Not a good score for me. Irony is, I don't feel guilty and enjoying my life as it is now. I have started a lot of books but finishing those has taken a backseat.
However, I am writing a lot of poetry as I feel inspired and words flow out of me.
Another aspect of this is I have not been visiting my favourite blogs and commenting. I do read those on my google reader but interaction has stopped from my side for a while now. My regular commenters do visit me although I haven't. I know I will get back to reading, commenting but right now my priorities are in a different plane.
*Update: I finished another book today. That makes it three!

Enjoy your time at the moment. It sounds like everything is good. I haven't read much either this month. I had such a wonderful January and read loads, but I am struggling to get into a book at the moment.
No need to feel guilty about only reading 2 books. Do what you enjoy; life is short.
I'm glad life is going so well for you! Enjoy every minute of it!
It's nice to know that life is good for you now! You'll get back to reading when you have the time, so don't stress over it!
Yes, we do have to balance our lives and allow the good stuff to flow in! There'll be a time for reading again.

Perhaps everything does NOT distill into reading, then? ;->
No, I really, really am joking. Enjoy the wonderful moments of this time in your life. Life is very short. Reading is just one part.
I am hoping that whatever changes are happening, make you happy always!
I am glad to hear you are having gr8 time :)
God bless!
Don't worry about not reading as much! Sounds like you're doing well and enjoying life, and that's most important.
I haven't read very much this month either because my life is hectic in a not-so-great way. Ah, well.
