For me, it's not so much a slump, but a lack if time. That boy has me chasing him around ALL THE TIME! But in a few years I'll probably miss it so I try to stay focused on that instead of everything I'm not doing. <br />Anyhoo, a few recs for you. Clockers by Richard Price, Civil Action by Harr, oldies but goodies and just enough outside of your comfort zone to make them interesting.stacybuckeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811500448951042300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-67927229880546942092012-04-25T01:13:49.001-03:002012-04-25T01:13:49.001-03:00I guess I am kinda in the same boat (life circumst...I guess I am kinda in the same boat (life circumstances at least :))<br /><br />YA is about the only thing I have energy for... except some baby books...christa @ mental foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272799752169958460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-20503791029002821212012-04-25T00:53:09.191-03:002012-04-25T00:53:09.191-03:00I planned to write up a post that was something to...I planned to write up a post that was something to this effect one of these days ... with me, it's a combination of feeling burned out, reading too many review books and not enough for pleasure, and just wanting to do something else right now. But it did definitely start with reading too many bad books ... and feeling too obligated to finish them, leaving me to want to take a break from reading altogether. <br /><br />I hope you find something interesting! I've marked a pile of books that I must read for review and another of review books that have been unsolicited or just aren't a priority at all. I haven't read anything in the last week and a half, but have done music stuff, catching up on TV shows, yardwork, and just enjoying my friends and family. It's been great.Kristilyn (Reading in Winter)http://www.readinginwinter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787660033880172725.post-68445788957500153772012-04-24T10:24:09.401-03:002012-04-24T10:24:09.401-03:00Maybe you need to slow down?

I just read a book this past week that I loved. It was by Diane Chamberlain, "The Escape Artist." But then I love all of her books.<br /><br />Maybe you need to find a book by a favorite author, sometimes that helps. That's what I do sometimes when I get in a reading slump. But not all things work for all people.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling better soon.

Just don't force a read. You'll know when it will feel good to read again. We, your loyal readers, will be here when you have a book to share.

I've picked up 3 to 4 and they are okay but I just dont finish.<br /><br />Have you tried audio? Without them I wouldn't get any 'reading" done. <br /><br />Good luck girl.
