For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
How you find that "extra hour" to read on a normal day?

I turn off the TV or leave the living room to get an extra hour of reading. Sorry this slump has been such a plague. Hang in there!
i just read whenever possible whether I'm traveling, eating, waiting.. Just bout anytime.. i got a good phone with some cool e-Reader applications and its helped out a lot..
I stay up way to late just to read..
it is better now with my new job, I have a longer commute, so I get two hours a day while on the road
I am so lucky! I live just north of Los Angeles and take a train to work. I am able to read on my train in the morning, at lunch, and then on the train home. This give me almost three hours a day when I've my nose in a book. I always arrive at home quite relaxed and in a good mood, and willing to cook the evening dinner. How's that, eh?
My name is Chris, I am a biblio-holoc!
Cheers! Chris
I don't know what to suggest to get you out of the slump Gautami. Just give you my best wishes I suppose. My post is here
Sometimes I think reading slumps like writer's block get worse when I worry about it. For me, it's okay to respect those rythmns of body and spirit. Right now I'm reading "Cutting for Stone" and know I want to finish it but it just seems to be dragging for me so I find other things to distract me. I've had luck before taking a break and immersing myself in a really mindless love story--maybe Debbie MacComber or someone like that. So maybe a change of genre is called for. Hope it gets better Gautami. Victoria
