Reading Slump and How I Plan To Get Over It

I think I speak for every reader when I say this: once we read a ton of books (like i did for my challenge last year) its difficult to get excited about new books again. And even though I am doing a book detox where I am not allowed to buy books I still have plenty of old and interesting books at home for me to read. Maybe once I complete all of my assignments in the next couple of weeks I'll feel better but right now I have other priorities and I'm not going to stress myself out about it.

Hope you have a fantastic day!

My Top 5 Favourite Authors

The majority of books that I read are written by female authors. I don't know why but that just how it is :). 

5. Marian Keyes
Anybody out there; Sushi for beginners

Her books are the complete definition of Chick-lit. I  love to read her books on a rainy day, snuggled in a blanket with my cat purring near-by.

4. Enid Blyton and Jacqueline Wilson
The Tower in ho-ho wood; Vicky Angel

I included these two together as my number four because both of these two ladies built the foundation for my love of reading. I would love to pass down their books to my daughter someday.

3. Nora Roberts
The witness; Whiskey Beach

Although I only started reading her books last year. I read numerous of them for my book challenge and each one captivated me.

2. Jodi Picoult

House rules; Nineteen Minutes

Her book "House Rules" is what sparked my passion to teach special needs. Her books don't last three days with me. They are inspiring.

1. JK Rowling
Harry Potter Series

And of course my number one female author is the brains behind Harry Potter. My entire childhood I've reread the books and have watched each of the movies at least a dozen times each.
