Yeah I try to only tbr a couple books ahead of time and then most mood read different nature things. I hardly have ever read Classics but Dickens is like at the bottom of the barrel of classics for me lol, I just don't like his stuff for whatever reason. When I'm in a slump I don't really stop reading but all my books seem to become really short haha like 200 or less pages until I'm out of it or something
I think reading shorted books in a slump is a great idea! Also, I usually love Dickens but this one did not hit for me at all ahhh. Having multiple books going at once is soo important for mood readers!
I am also in a slumpy-slump though now I am reading The God of Small Things and it's a magical book that slowly drags me out of this yucky, sticky slump. You must read it in paper though, the language is gorgeous, I underline full paragraphs ❤
Is it the season of reading slumps? It absolutely must be! I am so glad to hear you are liking the god of small things, I think i will like it too once I find my physical copy
🙋♀️ Yes in a slump now! Haven’t read an amazing book all year. Last week finished The Three Body Problem (not generally a sci fi reader but was on board to try this). Then picked up the 2nd book in the series The Dark Forest. Got halfway and just hit a wall. Skimmed the rest of it and have no plans to read the third. They are big books (each bigger than the prior) and when you can only get through 30-50 pages M-F…. well that doesn’t help. I am also a mood reader and am going to be really selective about what I pick up next… 😫🤞
It is so hard! Do you think that the three body problem put you in a slump because you don't normally read sci-fi? Sometimes a book takes too much effort out of me. I hope that you found something that your mood is calling for!
@@WellTraveledBooks I think it came down to the length. And knowing I was in for a good 600 pages on the third book. I wanted to get into other books. 👍😁
Last year I was in the same kind of slump of meh reads. My New Year’s resolution this year is to only read books by authors from countries I haven’t read yet. It has really gotten me out my meh book slump and I keep it fun by keeping track of the books on a map.
@@HeatherGashgarian I have read a few of her other books but not half of a yellow sun! it must be amazing if you read it twice in a row, thats so cool =D

I think that is a great way to keep it fresh! Do you have any books that have really stood out to you this year? =D I love the map idea too!
@@WellTraveledBooks I did find a new favourite. After I read Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche I immediately reread it!

@@WellTraveledBooks I guess it must have just been the right book at the right time but it’s such a treat when that happens!
