What are you reading now?

[Patricia]

I just finished I have no idea how I'm going to review it so I'll sleep on it and try tomorrow. The first 75% of the book was a really hard read for me. At times it was just plain boring. The last 25% was fantastic and actually brought tears to my eyes.

If you review and read this please help me. I'm kind of stuck on this one.

Tomorrow I start the Code Talkers book.

Just started Rise Again, a horror/zombie book by an author I've not tried before (Ben Tripp).

The Boy I Grew Up With. - Tijan

[Patricia]

I just finished and reviewed

This is a book I'd love to discuss with someone. It's historical fiction with a murder mystery at the heart of it. The way it's written is really unique because instead of investigating the crime the book investigates the life of the accused. It's hard to explain but was good. It also has a lot of San Francisco history in it leading up to, during and after the 1907 earthquake. I had no idea bubonic plague was rampant in San Francisco at that time.

I was feeling a little naughty and needed something to make me sparkle. I just finished a new author to Kindle. Charley Crestland and her latest book Double Irish Delight. It surprised me. Made me smile and yes it left me warm and tingling. A great short read for an afternoon. Double Irish Delight: A Sexy MFM romance

I'm reading The Cumberland Killers: A Kentucky Mystery very enjoyable so far. The narrator is a young newspaper reporter searching for whoever murdered his friend, a TV news photographer. It is set in 1985 and full of references to all the things that were unfolding in the country at that time, both a mystery and historical fiction.

Anyone found something great to read they would like to share?

[Patricia]

Aly there was a new book released in the Butterfly Garden series. I bought it but haven't read it. Unfortunately I still haven't read anything. 😨 It's hard to motivate when you don't feel well and feel so tired. I see a new Dr on the 31st so hopefully they will get me on a treatment plan and schedule. I hate this. I need my life back.

[Aly, Book Monster and group creator]

Soo may books and I feel like I don't have enough time for all of them. Anyone found something great to share???

First, try to figure out why you don't want to read anymore. Second, take some time off. Go walking. Enjoy a good movie. Enjoy people.

[Aly, Book Monster and group creator]

I agree, find something new you enjoy (like life, friends, family) in time I think the love of reading will come back.

[Aly, Book Monster and group creator]

I started this series . So far it is a great book, I think I will read more of this series! The characters are fun and I like the humor in the book too.

Naomi I haven't read anything since November. A huge part of my issue is health problems but I also look at the huge selection of books on my kindle and I'm overwhelmed by choices. I keep telling myself "just choose one" but it doesn't work.

I'm actually bored out of my mind but can't pick a book on the days I feel well and then massive fatigue hits which makes it impossible to read.

You sound like you're where I'm at. I want to read but can't for some reason or other. I know I'll get back to it eventually but it's beyond frustrating to try to start and fail. Boredom is killing me though so I have to find a book I have the NEED to read because it's calling my name.

I think everyone goes through reading slumps for different reasons. It's just a matter of finding your way out of it. If I figure out how to do it I'll let you know how I managed. Right now my slump is looking endless.

I hate it when I get in a reading slump. Sometimes I can get excited about reading again by participating in a reading challenge--the last time I had a bad slump, I got the idea to find as many books as I could that had a bird mentioned in the title, and it turned into a lot of fun. Or I will go to the library and browse the shelves until I find a book in some random category like a story set in Hawaii, etc.

Another thing I do if I can't stand the thought of actually reading but want to enjoy a book is listen to an audiobook while I'm doing chores or driving.

Or, as other people have said, just do whatever else I want to do until a new book catches my interest.

I have so many I want to read but by the time I sit down to do it I need a nap. 😂 This month amazon had a bunch of new historical fiction books for $1.99 on the first then on the 3rd Harper had a bunch of best sellers for $1.99. All of them were on my wish list so I picked them up. I also have and that I really am looking forward to reading. I was sent an ARC of that looks amazing. Yesterday I got a hard cover copy of for review. This weekend I'm going to make myself start it. I think it sounds fascinating and it's a piece of history I've never heard about.

I had been reading for review and typically read 2 to 4 books a week. It's really had to motivate myself right now because I've been in an autoimmune flare up since November. I'm hoping it will go away soon because it has stolen my life. I just started seeing a new doctor at the VA who is amazing so I hope she'll send me to the specialists I need.

I don't have cable or an antenna so I've been watching DVD's. TV is mind numbingly boring for me. I need to read again because boredom is killing me.

Is anyone else a history geek? I'd love to have a partner read because I love discussing the historical fiction/nonfiction I'm reading.
