One of the questions I get asked the most is “how do you find time to read so much?” I have small kids, a full time job, and a writing habit that I sustain, but reading is one of those things that I need, like water and sunlight. When I stop picking up books, my mental health is affected, so I’ve had to find ways to make the time. My best trick is to bring a book with me on the elliptical machine– the exercise and chance to dive into a story both leave me feeling strong and happy. Recent Book Riot Insiders newsletters gave a peek into the day-to-day of Book Riot back office superstars , and I loved hearing how they crafted time in their schedules to read.  It made me wonder how other voracious readers feed their habit. Whether you’re looking to up your reading time or you already have a day packed with bookish goodness, this look into the time-saving tricks of other Rioters is interesting!

A sharp right off the poker-straight road from Lyndhurst to Brockenhurst and our weekend is laid bare before us. We kill the engine and exhale, the thrum of Friday night traffic long gone, replaced by a trio of ponies grazing in the fields before us. New Park Manor, a former 17th century hunting lodge , sits in one of the prettier patches of Hampshire’s New Forest, with the surrounding pastures, woodland and glades looking exactly as they might have done 500 years ago.

In our new series Pregnancy Diaries , we ask expecting women to jot down every pregnancy-related detail of their lives for a week. (Special thanks to New York mag and Refinery29 for the inspo.) Work-related conundrums, struggles with IVF, and a whole lot of nausea, ahead. For our eighth entry, we have a 33-year-old part-time publicist from Connecticut who’s 25 weeks along. She and her husband of almost eight years have a “spirited” two-and-a-half-year-old girl, and don’t know the sex of baby number two.  How long did it take you to conceive?  It took just a couple of months to conceive baby #2. My cycle has tended to fluctuate month-to-month since having my daughter, so it was a bit of a challenge to track accurately. We’ve been incredibly fortunate and have not experienced any fertility issues to-date. Any other details relevant to your pregnancy? Our daughter was born three weeks and one day early, and I gave birth less than three hours after my water broke. This is known as precipit...

If you're here with us, spring cleaning on a Saturday—thank you! And if you're just getting started—welcome! We're only a handful of days into our 20-day program, so there's still plenty of time to sign up and catch up. Loading Email Sign -Up Form... If the form doesn't load, you can try our mailing list page instead. It's a brand new thing for us, this team spring cleaning event , and I have to admit that we editors struggled with whether or not to keep the plan going through the weekends. Ultimately, efficiency won out. We thought it would be better to get things done in one fell swoop, but most importantly, we realize that many of you already use your weekends to get your home in a calm, clean and happy state. The extra downtime allows for a little more flexibility in deciding when (and, in some cases, where— we'll explain later ) your 20-minute tasks will take place. TODAY'S 20-MINUTE TASK Wash Your Bathroom Rug and Shower Curtain Today is all a...

AARON BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: Good evening again. I'm Aaron Brown. Those of you who get the daily e-mail know I seem to be in a bit of a mood today. I hate that. It's just something about the week. The Middle East is always a tough one. The sides are so passionate and so certain. And this was a difficult week there. But it was more than that. Too many kids are dying. And while I know the statistics and I believe them, our kids are in no greater danger now, the fact is that too many, even if too many is just the average number, are dying. There was Samantha Runnion and today, this child in Missouri, Casey Williamson. There's a story I did in the newsbreak tonight about a kid in Florida who was swimming in a lake and contracted a deadly disease. And then, not far away in another lake, another kid, a different d...
