I do wish I had more time, because I love reading, sharing my thoughts and visiting other blogs, but there is only so much time in the day. Love the Luci pics. :-)<br /><br />Melanie @ <a href="http://www.hotlistens.com/tag/reviewed-by-mlsimmons/" rel="nofollow">Hot Listens</a> & <a href="http://rabidreads.ca/category/reviews/by-reviewer/melanie" rel="nofollow">Rabid Reads</a>Melanie (@AudiobookMel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12682752959290631075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-51428341446083170272017-06-22T13:14:11.026+03:002017-06-22T13:14:11.026+03:00I wish reading was my job :DI wish reading was my job :DBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-55766381597511256792017-06-22T13:13:40.327+03:002017-06-22T13:13:40.327+03:00So never gonna be huge so whatevsSo never gonna be huge so whatevsBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-61022245465751083852017-06-22T13:13:14.971+03:002017-06-22T13:13:14.971+03:00Those are always weird.

I am similar to you. I have some events where I go out and seek participants, but I pick the things I want to do. I answer emails, except those that are bulk or generic "To whom it concerns" - I put right in my contact info that I will not respond to those. I look for books I want to review, but don't take all I'm offered. I would say I'm in the middle and just right!Jen Twimomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267405113503713323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-50482976261711690222017-06-21T16:28:18.056+03:002017-06-21T16:28:18.056+03:00LOL, that has happened to me too, I left a totally...LOL, that has happened to me too, I left a totally cryptic comment and it was on this interviewBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-90040262954028673132017-06-21T14:07:52.400+03:002017-06-21T14:07:52.400+03:00Sorry my comment was for your earlier post. about...Sorry my comment was for your earlier post. about the Duke book.

I used to answer every email and accept every book, too, but not anymore. I don't have time to answer all the emails and I don't accept books that I have no interest in. I do still accept too many books, but it's because I really want to read those books. Things have certainly changed over the years, but I still enjoy it. Love the Luci pics!
