It sucks you had a reading slump :( Maybe you should take a tiny break from reading? It MIGHT help.. :)
Hey there! Yeah, the slumps suck :( Whenever that happens to me, I basically re-read a favorite or two. Helps if you break up the bad streak with the good. Hope you get out of your slump, and thanks for following me! Plus, good luck with your writing. It's always nice to meet a fellow aspiring author :)

I hate reading slumps. Hopefully you can recover soon!
Thanks for stopping by!
Aw, reading slumps suck! I usually re-read one of my favorite books. That way I know I'll like it. I just read Plain Kate and I *loved* it! It's a fairy tale. But it's sad.
I'm tired of really formulaic books myself. I really liked Please Ignore Vera Dietz by AS King (YA) and Four and Twenty Blackbirds by Cherie Priest (adult horror). Neither of these fits any kind of formula.
@Steph - I think I'm going to back off the reading for a bit and only read when I'm really in the mood for it. Once it starts feeling like a chore it's never enjoyable.
@NinjaGirl - That's good advice. Maybe I'll re-read The Hunger Games!
@Rie - Me too! It's nice to commiserate with others, though. :)
@Smalls - What are you doing to me? Tell me about an awesome book and then tell me it's sad pandas. Tsk tsk. j/k. I'll check it out. Thanks!
@Catherine - Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe it's the formulaic thing that's getting to me. Too many of the same types of stories perhaps.
Well, I have to warn you. Otherwise you could be reading it in some public place and you'd start bawling and I'm sure we're all familiar with those strange looks and concerned stranger inquiries that would result. Luckily I was at home when the floodgates opened (again, and again).
