Friends, I am in the middle of a huge reading slump. I can’t seem to find anything that holds my attention. I’ve tried book after book and I just can’t stick with anything. I know it’s a busy time right now and that’s why I can’t get into a book, but I’m ready to find a story that is unputdownable.
Today I decided to share a few of the books that I’ve attempted to read here lately, but just couldn’t get into. Feel free to try and convince me to give a book another shot!
The After Party by Anton Disclafant. This book sounded exactly like my favorite kind of book: a good southern debutante novel. I just could not seem to connect to any of the characters. The writing just felt dull. Maybe if I had kept going with this story I would have gotten into it. Have y’all read it? Should I try again?
I’m probably one of the few that didn’t like this one. Granted, I only read the first 35 pages or so, but I was confused about several parts in this one. Some of the characters just didn’t make any sense and I wondered if that was because it was an Alice in Wonderland retelling/prequel/variation.
It saddens me that I could not get into a book that Reese Witherspoon recommended. A few of y’all even messaged me and suggested I pick this up. I only read the first 15 pages, so I didn’t really give it a fair shot, but there was so much description and I prefer more dialogue and interaction among the characters. Should I try it again?
I really wanted to love this one. The plot is compared to Gossip Girl, so I was very excited! I read the first 75 or so pages and I was so confused about the world and the skyscraper. I just couldn’t visualize what a building like that would even look like.
I’m dying to find a romance book like Lauren Layne’s Wedding Belle series. I ordered the first one in this series and hated the edition they sent: a small pocket book. I can’t stand reading small editions like that. Has anyone read the series? Should I just look past the smallness? 🙂
I was skeptical about this one, but when I visited my local library and saw that it was in, I decided to give it a go. I couldn’t get into the story and after reading reviews of it, I realized lots of other people had the same problems as me. What did y’all think?
