Looking For My Reading Groove

I have had trouble with my concentration lately.  It feels like I have ADD.  I am not going to come close to my 110 book goal this year.  I will not even hit 100.  There are too many distractions.  My Sassy.  She requires to much attention.  Potty training is not going great.  In addition, she likes to sit on my lap and be hugged.  I cannot let her down.  My grandchildren still require attention.  I have been trying to cook more, order out less.  I do not devote tons of time to cleaning but I am required to do a little.  On top of all of that I was dealing with headaches.  Today is the first day in a long time I had one.
I thought if I went to some light reading I could get back into the flow of reading.  I used to love the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.  Last week I read, Explosive Eighteen.  It was a nice light read.  Gave me a few chuckles.  I have said it before, I wish she would end the series.  I wanted it to end several books ago.  That said, I enjoyed the book.  I would rate it a 3 because I am generous with series that I have so much time vested.
I used to read everything by Nora Roberts.  Now I read some of her stuff.  I finished her trilogy of the Inn Boonsboro.  The book was called, The Perfect Hope.  Her books are very predictable.  That said, I still enjoy them.  Sometimes I still like a simple love story.  I would rate it a 3.
I am in the process of getting rid of books.  I have about 5 sacks full right now.  Just do not know what to do with them.  Not having a book sale at work right now.  Any suggestions?

Who knew a tiny little cat dog could totally take over your world.

Put them on the 'garage' sale sights on FB. A lot of people are buying books on them, especially the Bloomington one.
I would probably not read as much if I were you either, Sassy is super cute.

I just put a bunch in the Book Donation bin by Popejoy's and by the Dollar General. We had a book sale for United Way in October and had quite a few left.
