Read-a-thon Burnout

I've been doing a lot of read-a-thons lately.

My first read-a-thon was Bout of Books 7.0 which was run through these lovely ladies --> Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal

Next, I did the 30 Day Reading Challenge hosted by Riquetta over on NerdinTranslation .Which had me attempting to read a book a day for 30 days. I totally failed this one FYI.

Finally, I recently participated in the first ever BookTube-a-thon hosted by Ariel of ArielBissett and Raeleen of PadfootandProngs07

Each of these read-a-thons has been tremendously fun and I have met so many new people through them. In no way do I regret participating in any of these events. In the book blogging and vlogging community these are amazing opportunities to connect with your fellow readers, and really get the conversations going. Not to mention the fact that I am  currently SIX BOOKS AHEAD of my 2013 reading challenge! I mean that's nothing to complain about! It's a straight up happy dance moment!

So what's my point today? What am I trying to say here?

What I am trying to say is that I am one of those people who feels the need to to all of the things, all of the time, and I am tired. So I was wondering....is anyone else tired?  I was hopping to participate in Bout of Books 8.0 this August, but I think I need to take it easy. Read-a-thons are wonderful fun, but I think moderation is the key to success with them.

Hopefully, I am not alone in feeling just a little burned out form all of this. It's time for me to put my feet up and relax with one of those monstrously long books that I love so much. No need to rush myself now. I have plenty of time to just read, and enjoy the story.

Happy Reading everyone! :)

Comments:

Let's just call day two my cheat day. I basically spent the entire day hyperventilating, studying for a final exam. It was horribly stressful! After the test I had yet another school event and arrived home about nine o' clock. From this point on I planned to study for yet another final (scheduled at 8 a.m.!) and read a bit of Percy Jackson. What I ended up doing was reading two chapters of Percy and then promptly passing out. 

Short version: Tuesday = Fail 

YouTube will be deleted!!

It's about 2:30am and I casually decide to open up YouTube, a normal teenage act. I notice the upper left hand corner has a trophy on it saying that YouTube has a message for me. I get just a tad bit excited.. 

                Omg, YouTube is telling me something...

So I click it, and proceed to watch this video.

WHAT?! NO!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! I HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THE VLOGBROTHERS VIDEOS YET!! MY VIDEOS! I'M JUST STARTING! *nearly faints and runs to Google*

Now, in my complete desperation I ask Google if this could possibly be true. Google, of course, leads me to this kind soul who promptly reminds me what a complete idiot I am...

Happy April Fools Day Guys...
