It used to happen when I read too many ARCs in a row, and felt that pressure to read and review them all in a timely manner. But I have a better balance with those and published books, and it helps immensely. However, I still get slumps (and had one in June actually). And when I do, I generally binge a lot of TV shows, and also be chill about blogging. Social media, aka Twitter, is also great. I take a break, relax, and then jump back in when I'm ready. These are really good tips! :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293357219620772934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311467534427600817.post-68205798688540571222015-07-13T10:27:41.681-04:002015-07-13T10:27:41.681-04:00Great post!

And I have to say, I just recently got Netflix and I'm obsessed with OITNB! It's actually taking over some of my reading time, which isn't good... but I just can't help myself! I started it two weeks ago and I'm almost caught up.

Just recently went through a slump. Getting up and walking around, then watching some netflix was great. And then I realized the current book i was reading just was not my style. I totally wasn't into it. So I grabbed a new book and I'm back in business :) <br /><br />What brought me back was Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo<br /><br />Also I have never heard of Depth of Field, but that cover is gorgeous. I might have to pick it up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018078011937292572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311467534427600817.post-8974874736927373982015-07-09T12:11:07.473-04:002015-07-09T12:11:07.473-04:00I'm just crawling my way out of a one-month re...I'm just crawling my way out of a one-month reading slump. Luckily, I was also on a blogging hiatus, so I didn't have to worry about blog posts. I think it was The Martian by Andy Weir that brought me back -- something spacey, which I don't often read, but it's still something I enjoy. I'd suggest trying a genre you don't read a lot!<br /><br />By the way, thank you for using a That '70s Show gif <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311467534427600817.post-89863144848020784022015-07-09T09:36:26.708-04:002015-07-09T09:36:26.708-04:00That was awesome!!
