Fifty books on the to-read shelf is only enough if one of them is the one you want to read at a given time.That's my explanation for why my to-read pile is taking over my home and why my Kindle is relatively full.

I find that decreasing my exposure to toxic persons is definitely good for my mental health. That's part of why I do LJ and DW rather than Facebook and Twitter as well as why I try to limit my in-person contact with certain people .
