Getting caught up

I thought writing about the books I'm reading would help me to really think about what I read rather than spend time reading mindlessly. I haven't kept up with it.

When my son was born, my next door neighbor said something to me about so many new mothers who give up reading when they have children. I never did that -- but then again, I only have one child. I've found, though, since returning to work last fall, that I've gotten really behind on things I want to read -- I come home mentally exhausted and just want to veg out on TV.

Since coming back from vacation, and the first extended time-off I've taken since starting my job, I'm determined to start over. I really miss reading good books.
