I've been mostly re-reading this past month trying to get out of it. Still stuck. Hope you get back to your old pace! It sucks feeling like this. :)

Thank you Izzah! :) Me and Netflix are very well acquainted lol. Stranger Things is one of my favourite series, already binged watched. Didn't get into Jane and Dexter that much, for different reasons. Currently watching Altered Carbon (fantastic so far) and a Korean series, Black, about a girl that can see Death also really interesting. Oh and Santa Clarita Diet made me laugh a lot! Loved it! If only I could get my book excitement back! Sigh...

Black is really good if a little slow in places but it's hour long episodes so that might be why it feels that way. Haven't heard of Goblin , will check it out. Santa Clarita Diet is with Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant, they are realtors and one day she becomes undead and they have to figure out how kill people in order to feed her and still be normal. It was really funny. Very enjoyable. I even have the Friends dvds lol. Some time away doesn't sound bad but I don't know how to live without books...

Maybe, if I find something really interesting. Though I rarely step out of my comfort zone to be honest. The times I have, I realised that I really don't like stepping out of it. Skirt it a bit but not step over. I'm a homebody in all the ways lol. Thank you Sharon! :) xx

Mirjana **DTR - Down to Read** Oh nooooo! I hate book slumps. Maybe try rereading a favorite? Or go for a subgenre you don't typically read? I'm sending you 5 star book vibes xx

I've read some mixed reviews over that one and it makes me hesitate. If even Mariana Zapata disappoints it will make me feel worse. Like even MZ can't get me out of this silly funk! Thank you Shizu! :)

Yep! And I feel like I can't even review a book objectively. Like is it me and my lack of enthusiasm or the book? Sigh..

Thank you so much hun! I have been re-reading and it has not worked so far. As for other genres nothing seems to click enough. Sigh.. xxx

Thank you so much! That's really kind of you. :) xx
But that's part of my problem. My mood is forever fickle but in this particular slump I can't even decide what I want to read.. I'm not drawn to anything. Which getting annoying now.


message 34: by Yodamom (new)

Yodamom Time for a break ? Maybe watch some Netflix ?


message 35: by Jln (new)

Jln ugh, me too. and I'm so annoyed because I actually have some unusual free time today and nothing to read. We have a pretty high book compare. I really liked the Hating Game. Also, I really enjoyed that biker series by Lauren Gilley, and I had never read a biker series before, Not usually my thing. For something different, I wonder if you would like Autoboyography by Christina Lauren. I thought it was their best ever book. I put all my favorite books on my favorite lists if you want to look. Otherwise, I feel your pain. I really need that time with a book to relax at night, and it disturbs me to having nothing to read, lol. Good luck!

I have been to be honest. Completely binged watched Santa Clarita Diet and I'm trying really hard not to do that with Altered Carbon. :)

Thank you Jeanne! : ) I've had the Hating Game on my to-read for ages now. But I just don't feel like picking it up.. I checked out Fearless but I'm not sure about the "cheating" thing. Kinda ambivalent about it. And I avoid most YA. Just too immature for me. But I will stalk your shelves lol I need to get out of this silly funk! I hope you get out of yours soon too! :) xx
