To read...


Does anyone else have those moments where you have a huge list of books you want to read, but you can't actually find one to read?  It's almost like having too many toys to play with and getting bored.

Between books, I'll often refer to my extensive to read list on goodreads.com and even though I want to read all of these books eventually, I don't want to read any of them right now.  It will often take someone recommending a book completely randomly, and then I will finally read it.

A good example of this, is the book I am reading at the moment, Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi.  Shatter Me has been sitting in my To Read list since the start of March, but each time I went to choose a book from my To Read list, I decided on something that wasn't originally in that list.  It's almost like the books in that list were forgotten.

Then suddenly this week, a friend on goodreads posted that she gave Shatter Me 5 stars.  All of a sudden, I had  to read this book ASAP, and started reading it as soon as I had finished Unwind.  I am enjoying it, and wondering why I didn't read it sooner!

Does anyone else have this with books?  Or am I the only one?
