I could start any one of them right now, but they are this <i>pleasure deferred</i> that I anxiously await! xoxoxoxsavannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310843901371718758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-67997347165333336132014-05-29T19:47:45.333+01:002014-05-29T19:47:45.333+01:00Holidays as analogues to reading... wow.

And after everything is done, I go into mourning.<br /><br />Lovely post, Sharon. Relatable in so many ways.

And with some books that I really expect to be good, I keep them at my bedside unstarted like forbidden fruit... because I know that the sooner I start the sooner I will be finished. Lovely post.

I also feel forlorn, especially if it was a series, and I have no new books to read from that imaginary world.<br /><br />I'm somewhat of a book addict, though; I start to neglect everything else in my life but the pages. Books can be, for me, a trap, too.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281480044634094336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-29450417069426340832014-05-27T22:14:10.076+01:002014-05-27T22:14:10.076+01:00All too familiar.
