QUESTION: How do you balance staying active in the book blogging community with actually reading books and writing for your own blog?
FINISHED: In the past two weeks I've read A Reliable Wife and Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half with America's Cheapest Family. I've also flipped through Incredible Edibles. That's two non-fiction books to one fiction. Time for another novel!
CURRENTLY READING: Royal Flush by Rhys Bowen. It is another installment in the Royal Spyness mystery series. I got halfway through the 300-odd pages in an afternoon, which should tell you that it is a quick read. After the darkness of my last novel, I needed this to shine some light in my brain.
UPCOMING: My daughter C1 read a book last week entitled Pink. The heroine of this novel irritated her so much that I want to read it so that I can discuss it with her. After that, I may try just going where the book blogosphere leads me.

I like the idea of discussing books with your daughter.
I know that when a character irritates me, it's nice to be able to have a conversation about it.
Thanks for sharing...and here's MY SUNDAY SALON POST
The time balancing thing can be really hard. Between a full-time job, housework and having a partner I want to spend time with every evening, there's not that much time or energy left to share between reading books, reading blogs and updating my own website. But I think the key is that it's all stuff I want to be doing and enjoy. As soon as any of those things feels like a chore I take some time out.
I get exactly what you are saying. All these activities are ones that I want to participate in, but they all take so much time! There are only so many hours available between the time I get off work and the time I go to bed. I have to live life before I can blog about it, but I often don't have time to write once the living is done.
