Recently I tweeted about this problem I have and many of you seem to relate: I can't stop buying books, but I have no time to read them. It's really disappointing actually that I feel like I don't have much time during my day to simply sit down and read a book. I have time to watch TV shows because I am also usually doing a multitude of other things on my phone or computer, which has allowed me to almost master the art of multi-tasking. But that's what is so magical about dedicating all of your attention to a book. You allow yourself to get completely lost in what you're reading.
Like I said, I have been purchasing a lot of books as of late that I have yet to crack open. Later this week I will be making the trip up to Martha's Vineyard for a few days and I am so excited to take that time to get through a few of these books!
Anyone want to read along with me?

SEASON OF STORMS by Susanna Kearsley | "In 1921, infamous Italian poet Galeazzo D'Ascanio wrote his last and greatest play inspired by his muse and mistress, actress Celia Sands. On the eve of opening night, Celia vanished, and the play was never performed. Now, two generations later, Alessandro D'Ascanio plans to stage his grandfather's masterpiece and has offered the lead to a promising young English actress, also named Celia Sands-at the whim of her actress mother, or so she always thought." - Amazon
