I am finally caught up on all of my reviews.  Earlier this week, I buckled down and wrote a review of The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I had finished the book a few weeks ago, but could not bring myself to write a review. You can read my review here. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and feel so glad that I can finally just focus on reading.  Do you feel guilty when you have reviews hanging over your head? 

Speaking of reading, I currently have six books checked out of the library and many are started.  I am realizing that I am not going to complete all of my challenges. The year just flew by.  I am taking a deep breath and releasing the need to finish challenges on time.  After I do that a couple times a day, I can relax and get lost in a good story.  I started reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I am engrossed in the story so far, but find myself feeling really sad at the plight of the two main characters.  I am also worried that I may end up sobbing at the end of the story.
