Sheri, we are all apparently in the same boat. What seemed to help me was vegging out in front of the TV Tuesday night and watching Eddie and the Cruisers. I also took Friday and this Monday off from work. I need a break all the way around. I hosted a conversation with C.W. Gortner on Friday (which was fun), but other than that, I won’t be on the computer at all on Monday. I’m hoping that will help out. Blogging is more of a problem for me than reading. I’ve been reading a fair amount of chick lit that is easy to fly through. I’m currently reading The Angel’s Game by Carlos Ruiz Zefon. It’s much more involved, but it is deliciously Gothic. I’m in heaven with it. I’m also listening to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in the car. It’s a great listen.

I hope that reading things you buy has helped you. Since this seems to be happening to so many bloggers right now, maybe it’s a summer thing.

I think when you read as many books as you do, your brain must cry out “gimme a break”! You do some serious reading Sheri and when you par-take in book reviews you are reading things you would’t (or may not) normally chose to. Hence the need for pleasure reading…

Your reviewing is like a job, so to speak, and everyones needs to take a vacation from their job every-now-and-then…

So, pick up that good romance novel and kick your heels up, make a nice cool refreshing drink…. and relax, lol.

Thanks for sending me the new link to your feed! I think it's fine to take a break from review books and just read something for fun. You'll get back to the others when you're ready. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..The Castaways: Blog Tour, Review and Giveaway =-.

Unfortunately, I can’t read AT ALL. Not even the many books I have for fun. Still buying books though (insert big huge eyeroll)

I also can’t seem to want to read blogs or write posts….maybe tomorrow when I go back to work.

Oh, yeah! I’m sorta dealing with this myself! And I sorta did the same thing! I hung out at the bookstore for a couple of hours this afternoon. I was good though, I didn’t buy anything for myself – just gifts! I’m learning that I have to be a lot more selective in the books I commit to reviewing. I can see that I’ve been veering away from the kind of books I really enjoy. I think it’s the opposite of being stuck in a rut — I’m all over the place. I think I’ve caught it before I get too off track, though. See? Happens to everyone sooner or later!

Hey you mind reader you
We both are feeling a bit bogged down, eh?

Gotta put the fun back in our hobbies, and my number one goal is STOP ACCEPTING BOOKS that I would not otherwise BUY!!!!

We’ll see. I’ll need luck, will power.. Magic powers..
