Here in Houston, we are actually having lovely spring-like weather, for now. In Texas, just wait a minute and it might feel like summer or a mild winter day. But it truly is my favorite season for sitting outdoors and reading and getting a little natural Vitamin D.
I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately. I had been reading a few different books, as I generally am (one novel, one middle grade novel, and a non-fiction book) and was enjoying two of the three of them, but it’s just been slow-going. I kept trying to get into the novel but just couldn’t. I finally gave up on it this weekend, so I’m excited to get started on something new. It’s fiction that really fuels my desire to read, and it’s often just easier to watch some TV or surf the net when I have some downtime if there’s not something that’s really calling to me.
I have no idea which direction I’m going to go. I’m actually waiting on Marisa de los Santos’ newest, The Precious One, to arrive, and I’d like to start that, so I’m trying to finish The Keepers: The Box and the Dragonfly, so I’ll can focus on that. I can guarantee that will get my reading mojo back!

Yup, me to (re: reading slump). I made myself work through a depressing read but now I’m ready to roll with something fun, happy (and enjoyable). 😀
I didn’t get around to making a Nightstand post this time but that won’t prevent me from hopping around and seeing what I can add to my reading piles. 🙂
I hit a snag like that recently when reading Guests on Earth, I downloaded the reading companion narration and listened to the rest of it…. During the Christmas season, I read 3 books from the youth market, a series: The World We Live IN, by Susan Beth Pfeffer. The first one, told from the age of 13 or so was a little bit immature I thought but the second was better and I haven’t read third one yet.
