Now that I have a lot more on my mind, I find that I need to give a really good book time to be "digested" before I move on to the next one. That's one reason why I've done more readalongs than reviews this year. <br /><br />But I think that while book bloggers tend to stress over "reading slumps," we don't see that other things in our lives are speeding up in comparison--or that during the times when we could read quickly and well, other things were slowing down. There's a balance, I believe. =) Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-16212112863024602152013-12-16T17:39:18.069-07:002013-12-16T17:39:18.069-07:00Yeah, I think it's not so much reading too muc...Yeah, I think it's not so much reading too much as just feeling pressure to get a certain amount of reviews/posts written that gets to me. You have to do what works for you, regardless of what that is.

A book that might have been great years ago might not be more than just ok now because I've read others that are better.Hellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153123645640205900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-88605687307909420462013-12-05T15:01:02.356-07:002013-12-05T15:01:02.356-07:00I think I'm kind of like that.

Then when I read more I was a little harder to please. :)<br /><br />Either way, it's great you've found some enjoyable books lately. It's nice to have you back. :)kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11221304377970098013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-88698291304198182342013-12-04T20:03:34.808-07:002013-12-04T20:03:34.808-07:00Very interesting post.

I honestly think for me that it's all about the feeling of the book. I'm going to hate it or like it no matter how many books I've read just because. Does that make sense? I will say that if I read too much in one month, I'll stop reading and do something else. I get burned out. I've noticed, that when I do which isn't very often, I can't seem to read more than 5 books a month.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-22518401062949476122013-12-04T18:45:08.011-07:002013-12-04T18:45:08.011-07:00I think the reason why they think 1 book in a mont...I think the reason why they think 1 book in a month is great is because so few people bother to read anymore. A couple people I work with made the comment, "Who has time to read?" Of all the people I'm around, only maybe a couple of them read a LITTLE bit. It's kinda strange to me, since reading is such a big thing for me. As far as not reading much, I've had a couple of those moments this year, like a week or week and a half without reading. It made me a little irritated because I missed it so much, then when I got to reading again, it was the best feeling. :) So, I understand. :DJessica L.

When I read as much as I have this year I find myself falling out of love with my favorite genres and getting frustrated with the clichés in them (especially the love triangles, insta-love, etc.).Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236569596711092011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-51407672827617890942013-12-04T07:45:47.343-07:002013-12-04T07:45:47.343-07:00I'm the complete opposite!

I've had such little time to read that every time I do get the chance, I am constantly second guessing whether I am wasting my precious reading time on a mediocre book.fakestephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178042157823156839noreply@blogger.com
