I’ve been majorly slumping (what else is new?) these past few months. I’m hoping my current reads will help pull me out, since the last couple of books I read certainly did not.

What I Recently Finished Reading:

the oyster thief city of brass

The Oyster Thief was simply not the book for me, so I DNF’d it early on. I have a review coming up for this one in a month or so, but let me say here that it was too juvenile for a book written for adults.
The City of Brass was definitely a “it’s not you, it’s me” situation. It has a lot of similarities to the book I wrote, and since that book is causing me a lot of grief right now, this wasn’t a good choice for my current mental state! I DNF’d this one pretty quick, too.

What I’m Currently Reading: 

the host miracle creek
I’m using The Host to hopefully get me out of my slump right now (I loved this one when I read it forever ago).
Miracle Creek has been receiving TONS of good reviews, and I’m excited to dive into a thriller. It’s usually not my genre, but between my major fantasy slump and the fact it’s getting good reviews, I’m hoping to enjoy it.

What I’ll Read Next:

the proposal circe

The Proposal seems super light-hearted and like a good slump read, so I’m hoping I’ll love it.
After loving The Song of Achilles, I’m excited to dive into Circe (though I’m not expecting to love it as much, based on lots of reviews).
