This Weeks Question:
How do you cure a book hangover/blogging slump/reading slump?
For getting over a book hangover or a reading slump, I usually do the same thing, which is find a book that I think I will really like (either because of great reviews or it's an author I love) or try to find the next book in the series (if there is one). That way, the plot will still be fresh in my mind and I'll be less likely to forget what's going on. I've been having a little bit of a reading slump, as a lot of the books I've been reading recently haven't really been grabbing my interest.
For a blogging slump, I'm not sure what I do. I've been having a blogging slump recently. Some reviews have felt like a chore, and I don't want to write them. However, I do continue with the weekly memes I participate in. I'm going to have to kick my butt into gear to get more reviews written!
What have you done to cure a book hangover or a reading/blogging slump?
I love being able to dive right into the next book in the series too. It's so much better when you haven't forgotten a lot of the little details! :)
ReplyDeleteI like to try to do that because I don't want to get distracted by other books!
DeleteYup, great suggestions! I fee ya! :D Happy Friday! My FF
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteFinding a good book usually works! Thanks for checking out my F&F!
ReplyDeleteIt does! And no problem!
DeleteI've had a few reviews too that took some work to write but mainly because I couldn't think of what to say or how to say my thoughts. Old Follower!
ReplyDeleteThat can be a problem too!
DeleteI agree about the blogging slump thing. Especially in the last couple weeks while I've been writing tons of papers for school. I went through a week or so when I felt like reviewing was writing another paper, so I took a break. I never want to burn out! Happy Friday! :D
ReplyDeleteHere's my F&F!
Ugh that reminds me I still need to write a Shakespeare paper!
DeleteYeah, I never found myself in a slump personally. I enjoy reading and blogging too much for that I guess. Reading was always my hobby and I never found myself in a slump. Only when there wasn't enough to read! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Follow Friday
Have a GREAT day!

Reading a bunch of books that I haven't been able to connect with put me into a bit of a slump recently.
DeleteWith you on using reviews to help me out of a slump :)

They usually get me pumped for a book I've been thinking about reading.
DeleteI normally watch something to get my mind off my reading/blogging slump because I won't solve anything if I try to force myself too much.Happy Friday!

DeleteI know exactly what you mean about a blogging slump as I've having a bit of one at the moment to.... I've got review to write but just can't seem to find the will and interest to do it so I am worried about the quality of recent review, I'm trying hard to make them as good as I can.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog earlier, I'm a new GFC and Bloglovin follower
My FFF - Thea @ Gizzimomo's Book Shelf
I want them to be good, and I worry that if I'm forcing myself to do it, then they won't be good.
DeleteTotally understand reading reviews to get you out of a slump. I also love being able to continue with a series straight away, however it doesn't happen as often as I would like.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!

I got the third book of the Everneath trilogy right after I finished the second, and it will be a little while until I actually have time to read it.
