If you don't ...I would say don't force it. If you don't feel like blogging, then don't post. I don't post every day anymore, and when I do, I post later on in the day. Sometimes if I do feel like blogging, I'll post two mini reviews in a day.<br />And Richelle Mead and Rachel Gibson always pulls me out of a slump :)Nereyda @Nick and Nereydas Infinite Booklisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05068688280866239189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601664550478117089.post-31706863455443177512015-05-15T14:14:54.219+10:002015-05-15T14:14:54.219+10:00I have a few scheduled posts for the next month so...I have a few scheduled posts for the next month so I'm planning to lie low and see if some motivation comes back.<br /><br />Thanks Alexia :-)Obsession with Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866538237890994901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601664550478117089.post-50276446389804800632015-05-15T14:13:57.205+10:002015-05-15T14:13:57.205+10:00This is me too Rachel!

Sometimes reading an old favorite helps, but I usually take a break from both reading and blogging. That breather really helps, and I come back ready to go!

Eventually I miss it and come back. Or inspiration strikes and I write up loads of blog posts. To overcome a reading slump I reread my favorite books! Then I figure out what type of book I'm in the mood for and go from thereRachel https://www.blogger.com/profile/06616299360211920794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601664550478117089.post-45905889684543613672015-05-14T12:07:11.454+10:002015-05-14T12:07:11.454+10:00I go through periods where I feel pressured especi...I go through periods where I feel pressured especially if I get into a reading slump or life takes over. I just pull back a little. One of the things that helps me is staying off the computer all day and only logging on for a few hours at night. I think breaks are important.

Usually, what I do is just go back and read old favorite books or just take a one week break to relax and come back feeling fresher. I also think "self read-athons" or buddy reads are helpful with slumps because then you're talking with your friends about the books and they can be a lot of fun. <br />I hope your Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5601664550478117089.post-21316909569603450692015-05-13T17:35:29.116+10:002015-05-13T17:35:29.116+10:00I overwhelmed myself with ARCs the first year I st...I overwhelmed myself with ARCs the first year I started blogging and when year two came along I started out the same way. Once reading became a chore, I went cold turkey on my blog and with the ARCs. I went back and re-read some of my favorite books, picked up some "just for me" titles, and accepted that I'll never be totally happy with blogging daily.
