Quit Distracting Me, I'm Reading!

For book club this month we're reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. Unfortunately, I've fallen woefully behind and only have one day to finish it.

So Shhhh! I'm reading. ;) 

I will not set up the new toy I bought until the book is finished. I will not. I will not. *whimpers*

  2. If it were me, I'd be up to my elbows in cords and plugs the instant the box touches the floor. I think that's what happened when I bought the Game Cube. Lol. I hope you can get some reading done! I have that book on my TBR list. :)

  4. I got into a good grove and think I will finish it today. You got a Wii? Did you get for a specific game? I just did Wii Active this morning. Yay me.

  5. Trish, Thanks. I hope I like it as much as you so it won't be a painful day of reading.

    Jessica, You have no idea how hard I'm fighting that very thing.

    Natalie, Maybe I should hide it somewhere. It's currently just sitting there staring at me.

    Suey, Yes, I'm a sucker for Zelda and the new game is coming out next week. But first...I need to read.

  8. Adams Family, I'm sure you could at least succeed for an hour. So don't you do it!

    Jenni, Yeah, I'll need the luck.

  9. I feel the same way except my vice that is keeping from my books is the IPad .

    A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is excellent, by the way.

  10. Hopefully by the time you get this comment you'll be almost finished reading the book! Or really really good and making those turns on the track. My favourite character is Yoshi...that probably doesn't help does it?

  11. At least you've got a good incentive to finish your book! Hope you enjoy your book and have fun playing with your new toy :)

  12. ibeeg, There's always something to distract from reading. Of course, reading distracts from a lot of things too.

    Lan, Almost done! This shouldn't come as a surprise to you or me but Yoshi is my favorite too.

    Chrissie, It's very good incentive!

  13. Yes, the Wii! An excellent distraction. And hey, it's really an investment in your physical health; it's coming on winter out there, and you need to be able to exercise, right?

    If you're in the market for a fun game for it, check out "A Boy and His Blob." Puzzle/obstacle course stuff, and nothing scary jumping out at you. :) Lots of fun.

  14. coachpotatocritic, Yeah, it would be but I'm one of those lazy people who try to figure out how I can play it sitting on the couch. ;)
