This one shouldn't be hard. I'm a voracious reader, but sometimes life (or a dull book), gets in the way and I put down my Kindle (love you!), and don't pick it up for a couple of weeks. I have a ton of books loaded already (from must-reads to mediocre picks that I only have because Amazon Daily Deals exists), and a HUGE wish-list already picked out online.
Also, I went through this really weird phase when my older son was born - I just couldn't read a book where anything bad happened to anyone. It touched such a raw nerve with me. It actually extended well beyond books into TV, movies, news, everyday conversations. I just couldn't bear to hear about it. I'm a little better insulated these days, but still can't handle anything where something bad happens to a child. My point (and I do have one), is that I stopped reading all together for almost a year - I just couldn't bear it. I watched a lot of Project Runway and What Not to Wear instead. It was a weird time.
My plan is to post when I've finished a book. Also, I go through books pretty quickly, and sometimes can't even remember what they were about just a few months later. Writing a bit about what I've read might help me in the memory department.
