Billy's Answer:

I've found myself in a bit of a rut for the past few weeks, where reading and blogging have become more of a chore than a pleasure. The best advice I can offer is to shake things up with your reading choices; try something different or, better yet, go for something completely opposite to what you just finished. Personally, I set aside a couple of books and picked up the latest Joe Pickett novel by C.J. Box yesterday. I’ve only read a few chapters so far, but I really enjoyed what I’ve read and am looking forward to diving back into it over the weekend.

  2. That's good advice too! I never really encountered a slump myself. I can get a genre burnout though so when that happens I just choose something different that what I had been reading!

  3. That sounds like a good idea.

    I hope that you get back into reading soon.

    Have a great weekend!
