Especially for the prayers. It's by the grace of God that I was able to come to this conclusion, and by His grace I'll be able to stick to it! Thank you so much, Loren! Especially for the prayers.

So proud of you for setting this boundary! Your family should always come first before reading and it is sooo easy to get piled under (no pun) with all of these books and reviews! I know the Lord will help you in bringing about balance! I know you will continue to do what is best and I pray you feel so much release in this :) Have a blessed day and week!

I'm definitely cutting back. Once I make it through August, things around here will slow down a lot. But, that's good. My kids are young. I need to be here for them. They are my main job right now, and I need to do better at it. Thank you, Marce! I'm definitely cutting back. Once I make it through August, things around here will slow down a lot. But, that's good.

Sorry you've been through the same thing. It's tough, isn't it? I'm gonna do the best I can, and then double back and catch the ones I miss. It's the best I can do. My kids need me, my house needs me, my husband needs me ... they come first. BTW, I love your site. I just read your about page - LMAO. HILARIOUS! I love your wit! Thank you!

I will admit I was getting concerned because I saw you slowing burning out. But I can see now I had no reason to be...you're handling this beautifully!! I admire you. Keep up the excellent work, and please know you have someone here in Jersey who's cheering for you! ;) I'm SO proud of you!!!

I love to read but I am also a mood reader, so I want to choose when and what I read. I have missed my first scheduled review, I sent an email and apologised but in the end I loved the book and the author got a great review, so late or not I still got the 'job' done. I started feeling a little overwelmed also. I promise myself to read a book a week in order to still have a life, and share family time with my daughter and her dad. I so understand, again good for you for putting it in perspective. I look forward to your continued blogging and reviews. Good for you.

I actually had to write and cancel some of the tours I was doing. Tours are the hardest for me because they need a review up on a specific date. And I simply have a really hard time doing that. So I decided I'm not going to anymore. I have one that said they sent me the book already (this was about a month ago) so I told them I would still do the review, but I still haven't received the book and the review is due at the beginning of September. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal -- but I have a lot of other books that I WANT to read. I prefer to just review books that I like and sometimes ones that publishers (who don't have dates attached) send. Totally with you on this! And don't worry about the Read-a-Thon that's why I made it a read as much or as little as you want type of thing. It all counts! ;) My recent post <a href="http://unputdownables.net/2010/07/31/read-a-thon-update-1/" rel="nofollow">Read-a-Thon- Update 1</a> Oh my gosh, I went through the EXACT same thing this summer.
