I've been trying to not request much on NetGalley this year, because I was feeling completely overwhelmed by it. I thought I was doing pretty well, but what I didn't expect was to then end up in a reading slump from pressuring myself to read a non-review copy. I'd always planned to read The Book Thief before going to see the film, and I'd barely started it when I got a last minute invite to go and see the film. I spent a miserable, frantic, 48 hours trying to get engrossed in it, at a time I really wasn't feeling it, and when all I could focus on was that I 'had' to get finished in time. I eventually ended up seeing the film before I finished the book, but then I kept trying to pick up the book. Once I eventually faced up to the fact now just wasn't the right time, it took a while of mood reading to start feeling back on track and in the mood for reading again.<br /><br />I think it's great that you're willing to DNF a book if you really can't get on with it. I think the worst thing is how long it can take to shake a reading slump off once you've dug yourself into one, and it's your time. Life's too short to struggle on with a book when you really aren't feeling it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572989515997936878.post-77422305541943553632014-01-15T18:31:08.554-05:002014-01-15T18:31:08.554-05:00Can I just say thank you for bringing this to my a...Can I just say thank you for bringing this to my attention!

I do get into lots of reading slumps though, so I'm taking more blogging breaks to work on that. I'm hoping to stop requesting ARCs all together by the end of this year, although I'm taking it slow right now :DAmber (Books of Amber)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01750403330691361583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572989515997936878.post-87835737978814026152014-01-14T12:09:26.952-05:002014-01-14T12:09:26.952-05:00I know you can do it!

I have the same issues as you...I don't like DNFing a book because it just feels wrong or I feel obligated, but I need to change that, and I too will overthink when writing my review, thinking it needs to be super deep, but really I'm writing these reviews for fun and to tell people what I thought of the book, and that I think is good enough.
