Reading Slumps..

Reading Slumps... and how to break out of them!

 I'd like to start out this blog entry by apologizing. I'm sorry that it's been so long since I've updated! I've been extremely busy; the past three weekends in a row I've been at horse shows and two out of three of those weekends I haven been showing myself. I have also recently been riding a new green off the track Thoroughbred mare on top of lessons on my own horse, therefore I've been extremely tired when I get home and just don't feel like doing anything. To top it all off it is the end of the school year so I've been busy with that too! Luckily, schools out for the summer and I'm officially a senior! It's super crazy to think about.. I do have a little bit of a low in horse shows so I won't be as busy getting ready for them.

 After reading The Problem with Forever, my brain was consumed with feels. I was left in a book hangover and I tried to pull myself out of the reading slump I felt myself falling into by immediately immersing into other books. Typically when I feel myself slipping into a reading slump that tactic works for me. Unfortunately, this time around it didn't. I read quite a few books after TPWF but my brain still had itself wrapped around all it's glory, not to mention the state that A Court of Mist and Fury left me in.. Then I got swamped with riding and all the horse shows which really didn't help my cause. Now I just can't seem to get into anything! It's quite frustrating! I've even done the infamous act of continuously picking up books only to put them down, start something else, and repeat the process over again.
