Wrote a Book

Reading slump tip: pick a book you can finish in one sitting. A novella or short novel gives you the feeling of finishing something, and that often gets you reading again. #booksky #readingslump

Sometimes that #readingslump hits you and you fall back into a re-read. I'm not really complaining on it. I think I have learned why jumping on the bandwagon isn't always for me yet. Going back into a re-read is relaxing. Less taxing on the mindset.

Ugh, y’all, I have been in the WORST goddamn reading slump ever. 😭

I’ve managed to read a handful of books over Aug/Sept and they were all meh.

Even the two books by auto-buy authors can’t grab my attention right now.

What are YOU reading??

What book would you hand to someone trapped in a reading slump?

Not your “most impressive” read. The one that hooks quickly and makes reading feel fun again.

I’m collecting answers. 📚 #ReadingSlump #BookRecommendations #BookSky #BookCommunity #Readers

Hard Return

@ahardreturn.bsky.social

1. Found a slump buster on my own bookshelf.
2. Having my book match my desert wall mural is extra satisfying.

Holding up a paperback copy of “Lonesome Dove” by Larry McMurtry. The book has a cream colored front with a black and white image of cowboys on horses at the bottom.

From my bed, I’m holding the book up to show a wall that has a large mural of a sun setting over a desert canyon. It’s painted in three tones of terra cotta. My bedspread is in the same tone and, unseen, the spine of the book is also that color. Very matchy. Very calming.

Being a writer is so weird because what do you mean 'I didnt remember to text you back because an imaginary creature was having a hissy fit in my brain' is a thing?

The worst thing about finishing a good book is finding it’s replacement.
