Tuesday Will Be Postponed Until . . .

My Tuesday review will become a Friday review this week. I'm about seventy-two hours from a deadline for which I still have to write two lengthy articles, and I write--and type--slowly. So I'm chaining myself to my computer until Wednesday evening. No reading, no Facebook, no reviewing until I finish this project. I expect to be freed from the Deadline Dungeon around 11:55 Wednesday night and collapse and recover Thursday, but I will be back on Friday. I hope you will be here too.

I lied. Not deliberately. But Tuesday I promised a review of a July 30 release for four consecutive days. I had every intention of completing a review on Wednesday to post today, but yesterday was my birthday. My sister took me to lunch at one of our favorite restaurants where I overindulged in chicken and dressing, sweet potatoes, and fried green tomatoes. I really needed a nap after that, and then I had birthday Kindle cards that were crying to be used and birthday phone calls to answer and Facebook wishes to read. Then I got an ARC of a book I've been really longing to read. The next thing I knew the day was gone, and I had no review. :(

So, I'll write the review later today and post it tomorrow and post the fourth review Saturday. My apologies for the delay. A lazy, low-key celebratory birthday is a legitimate excuse for delay, isn't it?


Do you ever just steal a day for laziness and self-indulgence?
