In the past I might have been worried about it and forced myself to complete a few more, in the hope this would get me back in the swing of things. This time I've had too much on my plate to even think about it much. I'm sure I'll get back into a reading frenzy at some point, but for mow I'm happy to complete a few DVD boxsets I've been wanting to try :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-66469986794684186662016-02-25T11:32:59.711-07:002016-02-25T11:32:59.711-07:00Marce: If I review some Korean dramas... you'l...Marce: If I review some Korean dramas... you'll come and read them, right?

The right book will bring you back to us. Why don't you just blog about what is getting your creative juices flowing, the Asian drama maybe :-)<br /><br />I remember just playing cards on my iPad for awhile, I just couldn't get into a book but then I realized because it was a book club read.

Sure, you maybe didn't blog or read as much here and there, but you still read and blogged. So, I say you're due for a slump, not that I want you to have one or that it's something to expect. I just mean that I think it's normal, lol. What a round about way of saying that, huh? Sometimes, TV/movies are easier because there's no thinking/energy involved. It'll pass, I'm pretty sure, anyway.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-5637693678457444672016-02-24T14:53:28.989-07:002016-02-24T14:53:28.989-07:00Don't worry, it is normal.

Phases, they will come and go. One sunny day a book will engage you again. In the meantime, just relax and enjoy a good tv series!Lisbeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/00466904375353041610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-24167491846172984102016-02-24T13:57:20.306-07:002016-02-24T13:57:20.306-07:00Ha ha!

I hate them for so many reasons but mostly because I have nothing to blog about. I was trying to squeeze in Life After Life for my Adult Literature Month but I'm having to drag my way through it. Literally. It's no fun. Now I have nothing to blog about. I'm about ready to give up and try something else. Oh well. Just remember not to feel guilty. You'll be back. Reading is too fun to give up forever.
