Have you ever heard the saying “When it rains, it pours?” Well that has been my week. It started with a death in the family, a sick little boy, and ended with a celebration of life. So while it wasn’t all bad, it was just stressful. Seeing family yesterday though really helped 🙂
On the reading front, I’m in a bit of a slump. My current read just isn’t what I thought it would be. How do you get over your reading slump? How was your week?
Currently Reading
Yes, I started this last week and yes it’s the cause of my reading slump. I think I’m in the minority when I say that I’m sorely disappointed with it.

What are you reading this week?
This week starts the May ARC Clean Sweep challenge hosted by Kimba @ the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. I’m excited to tackle my massive pile of ARCs. What are you doing this week?
Looking forward to your review of Red Queen and Burnt Devotion. Have not read that one yet but love Rebecca Ethington now thanks to you 🙂
It’s very good!!! I can’t wait for the last book though I do NOT want the series to end 😉
I look forward to your review of Red Queen, that book is on my to read list. Have a great week.

It’s very good 😀
Oh I loved Cress so I am sorry. Maybe you should set it aside as the week you have had on the home front may be playing a role as well. I do hope this week is better for you, with lots of sunshine and happy moments.

Thank you Kimba! Have a great week!
Sorry to hear you’re in a reading slump. 🙁 I read a handful of books this week and for the most part I was satisfied wiyh them but I can definitely relate because u had a bad March reading month. I hope May is a better reading month for you. 🙂 Just pray about everything girl and God will make it all better. 😉
That is SO true girl 😀 Have a great week!
What a shame you’re finding Cress disappointing! Funnily enough I enjoyed the first book, didn’t much like the second book — and loved the third. So I am desperately awaiting the last in the series. 🙂 Hope your next read is better, though. You’ve got some GREAT review copies there; I am especially interested in A Whole New World.

Well I finished Cress last night and the ending redeemed itself. I just wasn’t a fan of her “Prince Charming.” I’m excited for Winter now!
I’m not really into these fantasy fairy tales kind of books so I’ve never read the series but I hate when you invest yourself in a series and the new book is a big fat bummer! I hope you enjoy your reading this week.

These fairy tale retellings are new for me too. I didn’t think I’d like them. But Cinder was a pleasant surprise 😉
