What I think happened is I got burned out even trying to keep up with a list of books to order for the LIBRARY, let alone read myself. There are SO many options that suddenly nothing feels special enough to tempt me anymore. I did manage to read <i>Code Name Verity</i> the other week, though, which was fabulous.rockinlibrarianhttp://rockinlibrarian.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-43870305283122997292013-03-13T15:18:09.381-07:002013-03-13T15:18:09.381-07:00I've seen a couple of those books around, so I...I've seen a couple of those books around, so I might have to check them out for myself.

Heard wonderful things about it and I am liking it very very much.<br />Adult book - if you haven't read Where'd You Go, Bernadette, that could shake things up. Highly enjoyable, funny, and unusual.<br /><br />Will have to go read the new Wendy Mass book too!<br />Genevievenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144605744535591088.post-23954449930021275082013-03-11T21:33:14.930-07:002013-03-11T21:33:14.930-07:00Dena, me too!

Reading at such a rate has its disadvantages. Add in a bit of the blues and, well, I become a bit hard to impress.<br /><br />I did recently read a middle grade book got my enthusiasm up again. Pi in the Sky by Wendy Mass. It is my new favorite book.

When I force myself to read, the love is there. But then the book is finished and I just can't pick up another one. What IS this?

I've got over a hundred middle grade galleys from ALA, half a shelf of "urgent, read and review me NOW" books, a stack of graphic novels to review for No Flying No Tights, and I've just realized how long it's been since I've read or reviewed any middle grade...not to mention the 2,000 books I own in my apartment and all I feel like reading is trashy paranormal romances and rereading mysteries. I'm going for a combination of exhaustion from work, not exercising so I feel even more tired, spring restlessness and just because.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.com
