I always end up reading books I've already read a zillion times because they're just that amazing, even when I have a sky-high stack of potentially amazing new books to read. But even then, those slumps are better than the ones where I just don't feel like reading AT ALL...Heather R.

After reading it I thought it was really good and didn't feel like reading anything and couldn't.<br /><br />Also with my favorite series in the entire world, Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth. After the last book Confessor came out, I was like that, I couldn't find a good book to read. I was also like that after the 2nd to last book Phantom :) I just took a break from the genre of the book I had just read, and read something else for a few weeks. Last time I got in a slump, I read some Simon Romantic Comedies.<br /><br />:) Hope you get out of your slump soon!

I mean, it's great that you enjoyed the book you've been waiting for, but it kind of sucks that the will to read anything else sort of dissipated.<br /><br />Something similar had happened to me, actually - I read North of Beautiful, like, last last weekend, and wasn't able to really get into anything else. Then last night I skimmed over a few passages of THE HUNGER GAMES again, and today I started a new book, and now I'm 100 pages in, so it's looking good so far. <br /><br />Hopefully you get out of your slump soon :)deltayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419573977053468767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33739204.post-59270293888779388162009-06-13T16:07:43.823-07:002009-06-13T16:07:43.823-07:00Hm, I've read some pretty amazing ones but I c...Hm, I've read some pretty amazing ones but I can still read other books after.Diana Danghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903093193311109863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33739204.post-81641730472738253112009-06-13T14:47:00.286-07:002009-06-13T14:47:00.286-07:00Isn't that the WORST?
