I'm in a reading slump. I've picked up five books in the last two weeks and nothing is catching my fancy. Boo.

When that happens to me, I do one of these things: a. Read a book from a genre I normally don't read.
b. Read a "fluffy" (my term for light romances and comedies)
c. Reread an old and much battered favourite.
If all fails, there's always good old Hollywood...
Aw, that stinks! Hopefully you'll get back in the swing soon...

I actually did just pick up a romance. We'll see how it goes...

what about something completely outside your typical genre? Have you ever read "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde? Completely silly and fun. Yet all sorts of literary inside jokes.
Stephanie Perkins books are great for reading slumps! Or Rainbow Rowell. Or(you probably already read these) but The Infernal Devices got me out of a terrible slump

And I loved the Infernal Devices!

I haven't read Fforde's books yet, but they're on my list!
Thanks, guys! The historical romance I picked up is working pretty well so far...
