Over the course of the last few weeks weβve
discussed many different things, and hopefully theyβve been as entertaining for
you as they have been for me, but whatβs on my mind this week might be a tad
depressing.
At the beginning of a new month my yahoo groups discuss what they read the
previous month, and what new books theyβre anticipating during the current
month. Itβs one of my favorite times to see what books I might have missed out
on, and what books I might not be aware are coming.
For October I only read four books. To me thatβs a tad depressing. I know I can
read more than that. Why didnβt I? The only thing I know for sure about that is
that you donβt know because youβre not me, and werenβt there for my various
moods, real life moments, and perhaps poor book choices. Do four books when I
can read perhaps as many as 10 in a month constitute a slump?
Of course I want you to say noβ¦four books is great
youβre not in a slump. I only read three books, so you did one better than me,
but realistically thatβs not going to happen, so Iβll probably have to suck it
up and admit to being in something of a slump. Now to figure out how to get out
of it!
Hereβs
where Iβm open to suggestionsβ¦what do you consider to be a reading slump? What
do you do if you find yourself in one, how do you get out of it? Maybe the four
new books I bought this afternoon will bring me out of mineβ¦who knows, but Iβm
off to explore the shelves to see which book is going to be the slump breaker
for me!
