Reading Slumps...

Does this ever happen to you?

You're going along at a nifty pace reading a book every few days and then suddenly you lose your book reading bug. It has gone into hiatus and took a vacation in Hawaii or some other tropical location. That is what has happened to me. I read a total of 0 books in January. Ack! What is wrong with my reading bug? My reading bug needs to get back and make it uber quick.


I did manage to read a book and I finished it last night. I discovered my Kindle has a text-to-speech feature. I am listening to my books right now. I am finished reading Model Undercover, New York (book 2 in a series) and am in the middle of The Void by J.D. Horn which is book three in the Witching Savannah series. I love both of these series. You really need to check them out.

My next book to dive into will be one an author requested I read called "And The Earth Moved" by Zanna Mackenzie. Is that not the coolest name or what? The book is about a sleuth who specializes in celebrity crimes or crimes against celebrities.

And check this updated info straight from my email... New Cover Alert!! 

I wanted to give you an idea of how I got into this slump. Here is my currently reading list on Goodreads... 

I know! Pathetic.

I started Tune In what seemed like an eon ago. I read a good part of it but never finished because other books on my TBR list seemed more important.

The Casual Vacancy. I read like a chapter and planned on doing more but my slump set in. I blame Dash of Peril. That is not a bad book but I think it is way bigger than it needs to be. You could probably cut that book in half and have a fantastic book. I am nearing the 3/4 mark.

I read a bit of The Nest hoping to get it done before its release date but failed miserably. I is not a bad book. I just wasn't in the mood for it.

The Job, The Union Street Bakery and Holly Lisle's Create a Character Clinic is on the list but I have not started them yet. They were good intentions gone wrong. And the Iron Trial, like the Nest, I just wasn't in the mood for it at the time. It is a middle-grade novel and you just have to have the gumption to read it before digging into it. It is also the first book in a series and you have to pay attention to what is happening in those.

An Island Christmas is not what I thought it would be. It was pretty boring starting off. I am thinking I should just eject it from my currently reading list like I did for The City by Dean Koontz and Nightingale, a werewolf type novel. I don't think I will finish that one. Not interested, no way.

That is my Reading Slump update. Look for a review of Model Undercover New York coming soon. Because thus far in February I do have one book read! Yay.

Have a great week.
