Our next door neighbor has the loudest alarm, ever.

If it goes off during the last ever CSI NY's, i will be seriously annoyed.

message 3414: by Tati (new)

Tati Jalyn, isn't there a Buddy Read going on for that book? After the second book, I'm in no rush to read this one...


message 3415: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I didn't like Insurgent much either, Tatiana. :(
It was so boring in comparison to Divergent.


message 3416: by Tati (new)

Tati For me, this trilogy is an example of a trilogy that had a really good start, and then fell apart in the next books.

The kindle is handy for that. I always get worried when the power goes out that the kindle battery will die before the power comes back on! I might be slightly attached to it.

i think some people will like it. i'm not saying what happens is completely unexpected, but when i realized what the book was going to be like...i quit it.

I didn't check. I had a few extra minutes this morning and I hoped on here just to ask that question. I liked the second book, but this one isn't anywhere near as good as the first one. I fell asleep while reading it last night :(

I didn't read your spoiler because I don't know where you stopped reading, but I don't blame you for giving up on the book. It's not going where I thought it would go.

Emma (foreverlookingforward) | 108 comments Omg there another iOS now what the hell really do we really need another update!

MB (welcometomb) | 80 comments It's really bad when you're having a book hangover..


message 3432: by Marie (new)

Marie | 257 comments I heard that rereading a book that you love helps.
When I get in a reading slump, I like to read something short and light. You could also ''reward youself'' for every few pages/chapters you read with someting you like.
Another thing I like to do is..just stop reading and do something else I like instead like watch a few( or a lot!) of epiosdes of a good tv show and I always find myself ''missing'' reading so when I get back to my book, I'm exited again to read.

I don't think there is a miracle solution but those things can help.

We did it once, halloween's not a big thing here either as you know. I made a pumpkin pie because I didn't want to waste the pumpkin but it was not nice.

It is so freaking difficult to decide what to read next when you haven't got something that has to be read ASAP.

I know! This is why i love arranging buddy reads for the whole month - You know what to read!


message 3439: by Tati (new)

Tati The thing with Buddy Reads for me is that, as soon as get one scheduled, I get a sudden urge to read that book LOL

It's not a problem when it's like 'this review copy needs reading within the next 3 days' but otherwise it's like 'how do i choose?'


message 3442: by Emma (new)

Emma (foreverlookingforward) | 108 comments The thing with with read to review I tend to think "urrgh I have to read it today" but with a buddy read u have to wait about a week all I can think is "just pick up the book I mean you'll probably be slower reader than them an then they will finishe before you and your only chapter 4 if you start me now you'll finish at the same time" -,-


message 3443: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90920 comments Mod
I think cause I read so many review books its like its programmed into me - which is going to be published next? which have you had the longest? pick one of the two and start reading. When I don't have any that are desperately needing to be read I lose focus.


message 3444: by Abi (last edited Oct 29, 2013 02:14PM) (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I was like that on Saturday.
Every weekend, i think "Please take her out so i can read" and when it finally does happen, i have no idea what to read.
In the end i swapped one torment for another, and got Gemini rising out the way.

Sorry to hear that Sarah. If it happens to me, I really need something good to set my reading mood again.
