I thought it was pretty cool when other people did it. When there were cute little pictures of the books people are currently reading sitting there in the sidebar. I thought that was cute and I wanted to do it, too, but it backfired.
I was not meant to have little pictures of what I’m currently reading in my sidebar. If it’s posted, it doesn’t get read. It’s that simple. I can be 300 pages into a book and if I post it, it doesn’t get finished. I can make a conscious and sincere effort to finish the books in my sidebar – nothing will get in my way! – and when I go to pick it up again for the first time since posting the picture in my sidebar, the book has mysteriously disappeared. I kid you not.
So I’m going to get ready to do away with that. I like the way it livens up the blog a little bit, though, so I’m considering replacing it with my recent book purchases, which I think is equally interesting.



I wish you the best in this holiday season, full of joy and memories, and a healthy, bookish new year! Merry Christmas! :)
