After having my worst reading slump this past month, I realized that I am quite stressed out by all of the Litsy book clubs I have joined because I just can't keep up. I'm going to have to let go of a few so that I can relax more and enjoy reading again--plus I want to concentrate on getting some books off the shelves. Such a lucky problem to have.

Fear of missing out
led me to join too many groups.
I need to regroup.

JenlovesJT47 Same here! I overcommitted myself this year and have gotten so far behind because I‘m stressing myself out 😵‍💫♥️ 3w

kspenmoll Sometimes I join but then drop out a certain month cause I can‘t keep up. Plus you are still healing, need to focus on that, & when you read, enjoy it, not feel stressed! Please take care of you. The books are always there.🩷 3w

Seabreeze_Reader It's okay to make a change of plans, especially with 2026 around the corner. Plus, I think quite a few readers here can relate, myself included. 🧡 📚🤗 3w

Read4life I know the feeling. I‘m doing the same and have decided it‘s ok to take a month off from a group if the book or the schedule doesn‘t work for me. I think most of us understand. 💙💙💙 3w

Susanita I can relate! 3w

AnnCrystal Good choice. With such a chaotic world, we can't make reading feel like a chore. We need books to remain in our toolbag of zen...👏🏼🐝👌🏼😘🐝💝. 3w

rubyslippersreads I do the same thing. All the books and groups are so tempting! 3w

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Well, let's give ourselves permission to bow out of a few of them. The only pressure that's there is what we're placing on us. I'll probably still want to be tagged, but I'm not stressing about it anymore. Join me? 🧡💜💛

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 FABUL💜US! I'll do the same! 💜💜💜 We can check back at the end of the month and see how we feel. 3w

JenlovesJT47 Yay! I‘m doing the SK #losersclub this month since it‘s one I haven‘t read yet and I sat down and read 20% of it today. Baby steps! Never thought I‘d be in a slump like this but phones are so distracting and it‘s hard to concentrate. 3w

LiteraryinPA It‘s so validating to hear that other people are experiencing similar things. 💗💗💗 3w

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 So true! Bombardments from everywhere! It makes on want to cocoon inside their house and only get delivery for everything! 🧡💜💛 3w

dabbe @LiteraryinPA 💜🎯🩷 3w

AnishaInkspill I was like this and completely understand 3w

marleed Oh yep, I had to let go of book commitments a couple years back and it did make my reading joyful. I even changed my booking to reading categories and gave up on the bingo aspect - but now I feel like I shop my own damn dusty shelves twice a month! 3w

dabbe @AnishaInkspill 🧡💜💛 3w

dabbe @marleed 💜😂🧡 3w

TheBookHippie 🤣🫣🙃 3w

dabbe @TheBookHippie IKR? 😂☺️😍 3w

julieclair This is me!!!! I‘m impressed that you and @JenlovesJT47 are reducing to 3 groups this month. I can‘t even imagine which ones I‘d choose. But I know I need to drop at least some of the ones I‘m in. 😬 To borrow your phrase, I‘m #OverFOMO‘d . 3w
