Why Does This Have to Be So Hard?

[the_other_sandy]

I made a New Year's resolution this year not to buy a new book until I've read a book I already own. It didn't seem like it was going to be that big a deal, but it's not even the end of February yet and it's the worst. Five books in series I read and/or by authors I like came out this month alone. Also, several books I've been wanting to read went on sale for super cheap this month, and I couldn't pass those up because I'm a happy miser.

I'm never going to be able to keep this up. I just want to read all the things. Is that too much to ask?

I am with you completely on this. I haven't even started on the books I got for Christmas because I've been reading the books I have checked out from the library. Those are definitely going to be available for other people to read when I'm done with them, so I feel an obligation to finish them first. However, this means that I have a stack of books next to my desk and another stack of books on the kitchen table, and I want to read all of them, right now! Sigh.
