The Best Reader + TIME

Sunday Salon 7.17.11

I have a confession — I am definitely in a reading slump. I can't believe this has happened to me right in the middle of the summer (my prime time for reading)! But it has, and as a result so many new reads have (unfortunately) become "files" in my DNF virtual trash — as all of the books were NetGalley reads.

I feel guilty because I think that had I not been "slumping" that I would have really enjoyed these books. I just haven't been able to get through anything and when I do (lately all I've been able to finish are audiobooks) I don't feel good about what I've read — no matter the story.

A few of the unfortunate unread are:

Wow, seeing all of the covers again makes me feel even more sad. These poor, undeserving books are the victims of my reading slump and now I've begun Karsten Knight's "Wildefire" (you all remember my big confession to Karsten) and I can feel it happening again! And I refuse! I refuse to offer up as sacrifice this story to my reading slump! I need to get out of it! I need to be free. Do you have any suggestions? Any helpful advice? How do you deal with reading slumps? How do you come out a live?
