Today’s Question:

If you read series, do you ever find a series “jumping the shark?” How do you feel about that?

And, do you keep reading anyway?
My Answer:
First, I have to admit I have never heard that saying before. Thank goodness for google. Now that I know what it means and the fact that I haven’t read a series in years, this question really doesn’t apply to me. However, years ago, Stephen King wrote novellas, can’t even remember the name, where there were quite a few in a series and easily read in a few hours. I was working at the time and some of my coworkers were like me, avid readers, and we would rotate as to who bought the book and then pass it around. Since then, the majority of the books I read, stand alone.

Today’s Question:

What are you reading right now? What made you choose it? Are you enjoying it? Would you recommend it? (And, by all means, discuss everything, if you’re reading more than one thing!)
My Answer:

My current read is The Chill Of Night by James Hayman. It is a review book from Pump Up Your Book. I read and reviewed his 1st novel, The Cutting, earlier this year and gave it a 4.5/5 rating. Full of mystery and suspense and thoroughly enjoyed. So when the call went out about his latest book, I jumped at the chance to read it. I’m finding this book is equally as good so far.
Thus far with this book and his first, I would definitely recommend if you read in the genre of mystery/suspense. Both books have the same main character but each book can stand alone. Since I am a one book read person, the only thing else I am reading is the local newspaper lol.
I have been in an awful reading slump these past few weeks, it definitely isn’t the book causing it, I think it was real life interfering. Knowing that I am joining a challenge today, I tried picking it up again, and YIPPEE, I read until I fell asleep. I think my slump has come to an end.

Today’s Question:

Today’s question is suggested by Mae.
Do you divide your books into day and night reads? How do you decide?
My Answer:
Honestly, I have never heard of separating day and night books. I read my current book no matter what time it is. I wonder what the concept is in dividing day and night time reads.

HELP!!! Advice needed!! For some reason, and I don’t know why, I am in a reading slump. And even though I am having anxiety as I see all the books in my tbr review policy, I find myself doing more blogging then reading because I just haven’t been in a reading mood. Has this happened to you? How do you reverse the slump? Any and/or all advice and/or tips, would be greatly appreciated!! I need to get a part of my anatomy in gear.

Today’s Question:
You’ve just dropped your favorite, out-of-print book into a bathtub, ruining it completely … What do you do now?
My Answer:
Cry, and through the tears, uttering some very choice words!! Then put it in the microwave, nuke it every few seconds until dry, to salvage what I could. And probably utter some more choice words!!!
