Happy first day of the second half of the year! Crazy to think that the year is already half done.
Over the last day or two I have been enjoying reading others’ wrap up and goal review posts and have been inspired to write my own.
Beginning with the Goodreads Reading Challenge. I have read 50/75 books this year so far; meaning I can adopt a more relaxed pace for the second half of the year. Lucky…. since I’ve fallen into a massive reading slump I have no idea how to get out of. Suggestions anyone???
Favourite books (5 ★ reads):
- A Good Neighborhood by Anne Therese Fowler
- Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
- The Switch by Beth O’Leary
- If I Never Met You by Mhairi McFarlane
- The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez
- Truth or Beard by Penny Reid
Honourable mentions (or books I loved almost as much as my favourites):
- Pretending by Holly Bourne
- Beach Read by Emily Henry
- The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa
- It Sounded Better In My Head by Nina Kenwood
- The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver
- The Lonely Fajita by Abigail Mann
Quick stats:
- Pages read: 17,546
- Most read genre: Contemporary/Romance
- Most read format: Audiobook
- ARCs read: 13
Goals for the rest of 2020:
- Complete my Goodreads Reading Challenge
- Simplify my blogging process and learn how to schedule posts
- Put less pressure on myself to keep up with other bloggers
- Continue to enjoy reading and sharing books in this amazing bookish community.
The Lara Jean series is great to get out of reading slumps ! Even as a reread ! 😄

I think reading slumps just take time to get out of. Reading light hearted books or picking up an old favourite even an old fav from childhood might help? 💚💙💜

I hope you’re right Emer…I hate that one of my favourite things to do has begun to lose some of its joy. ❤

Sometimes the pressure of blogging, reviewing etc can take our joy away. I have definitely experienced that in the past..the pressure to write a review on time etc etc. But ultimately I know for me reviewing and blogging gives me more happy days than otherwise. It’s just something that ebbs and flows isn’t it. I hope you’ll find your reading mojo again soon 🧡💛
