Good luck Leane. I know how you feel. I have only been able to read light mysteries lately, I just can't get into anything deeper than that.

I haven't even been in the mood for a cozy mystery and I'm always up for them!
Maybe I'll read a Baby-Sitters Club book. Those are quick and usually get me back in the mood for something else.

Exactly Leane. Picking up a favorite book or series can definitely help. I read A Wrinkle in Time or Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsong, when I am having trouble getting into a deeper book. I know I will not put those books down.

Hi Leane,

Looks like you were able to do some reading, yay!

Yes! And I finished that book on Friday so I feel it was a big accomplishment.

Welcome Tammy and Leticia!

Thank you Karen :)

I have question. Now that it's October and Halloween is approaching, do you find yourself reading more "seasonal" type books, mysteries for example?
It seems as though I have only been able to finish light mysteries this month.

That is not always the case, but yes I do tend to read more Halloween related books this time of the year.

Interesting question, I did read three books directed towards Gothic and Horror this month, , and one towards Paranormal Fantasy. Now I start to tire of the gloomy direction, although has its creepy vibes too.

I know what you mean Leticia, I just started re-reading The Rook by Daniel O'Malley, because I was reading only light mysteries. I needed something different.

I ended up reading which is quite dark too but filled up with British humor.

We have one week left! How is everyone doing? Did you read one book that you really liked, that stood out?

I read a lot of light books this month, in between some very long books that I haven't finished yet. If I had to pick a favorite it would be , which was a re-read. But I must say, I am really enjoying all of the books that I am reading.

I'm putting myself on a strict reading schedule to finish up this month. I've only finished one book and that's unacceptable to me. Too many games on my phone instead of reading.

I am on my fourth book now, even though I was late getting started.

Do we want to continue for the month of November?

Karen wrote: "Do we want to continue for the month of November?"

I do! I feel like I'm getting my reading groove back!

I'll set one up tomorrow then.
