Shelley LOL @ the first line of Thick as Thieves:After Vorgell the barbarian fucks himself with a unicorn horn - I had to read that bit twice!

Objects in the rearview mirror certainly sounds different...

I'm going to try a few samples. Thanks for this Ann ;)


message 7: by Shelley (new)

Shelley Angela, thanks! I'm going to sample Love The Sinner and see how I get on.


message 8: by Ann (new)

Ann Absolutely! Those were all that I remember being not what I expected when I started and I loved them all for different reasons. I hope you find one that breaks the slump!

Also, Vorgell is MADE of awesome ;).

Sun I haven't read in almost a week. I can't get motivated to start anything. :(


message 10: by Ann (new)

Ann SUSAN! The planets must be out of alignment or something because that is just not right.

This is horrible news! I agree with some of the others, pick something totally out of your norm and somewhat at random. It might just pull you out of your funk.

I think I should do the same because I swear, I have started and discarded about seven books in three days. It's ridiculous. Maybe it's time to watch a movie or 6.

It's what I do whenever I start to feel bored by the same old same old storylines. I pick up a murder mystery or some historical fiction or just something different.

Angela Bee Bee Sometimes I think about taking a break, but then I get nervous I'll never come back, then I wont have a hobby. But in reality, a break is probably good.


message 15: by Shelley (new)

Shelley Alicia, you've just reminded me of a historical I have that I should read. Fingers Crossed.


JaHy☝Hold the Fairy Dust If you are in the mood for a smutty dark read (ie dark duet-ish) my I suggest..
Her Master's Courtesan by Lily White ..its definitely different and not for everyone though.

I'm keeping my hopes up for you Shelley! :)


message 18: by Ami (new)

Ami Do a personal challenge like me, Shels. Going for genre you never read. YA for example. Although I probably am not the best person to help since I'm taking a break from MM for the time being.

Shelley is NOT allowed to read YA! ha! Every book I've reco'd to her, she's hated!!!! My last shot is the Gives Light group challenge. We'll see how she does with that one! hahahahaha!
