This is a book I'd love to discuss with someone. It's historical fiction with a murder mystery at the heart of it. The way it's written is really unique because instead of investigating the crime the book investigates the life of the accused. It's hard to explain but was good. It also has a lot of San Francisco history in it leading up to, during and after the 1907 earthquake. I had no idea bubonic plague was rampant in San Francisco at that time.

Pat, I did see that book on Amazon. I have not yet read it either. I will try to get to it and buy it. I hope you feel better soon.

Soo may books and I feel like I don't have enough time for all of them. Anyone found something great to share???


I agree, find something new you enjoy (like life, friends, family) in time I think the love of reading will come back.
I started this series
. So far it is a great book, I think I will read more of this series! The characters are fun and I like the humor in the book too.


I'm actually bored out of my mind but can't pick a book on the days I feel well and then massive fatigue hits which makes it impossible to read.
You sound like you're where I'm at. I want to read but can't for some reason or other. I know I'll get back to it eventually but it's beyond frustrating to try to start and fail. Boredom is killing me though so I have to find a book I have the NEED to read because it's calling my name.
I think everyone goes through reading slumps for different reasons. It's just a matter of finding your way out of it. If I figure out how to do it I'll let you know how I managed. Right now my slump is looking endless.

Another thing I do if I can't stand the thought of actually reading but want to enjoy a book is listen to an audiobook while I'm doing chores or driving.
Or, as other people have said, just do whatever else I want to do until a new book catches my interest.





I had been reading for review and typically read 2 to 4 books a week. It's really had to motivate myself right now because I've been in an autoimmune flare up since November. I'm hoping it will go away soon because it has stolen my life. I just started seeing a new doctor at the VA who is amazing so I hope she'll send me to the specialists I need.
I don't have cable or an antenna so I've been watching DVD's. TV is mind numbingly boring for me. I need to read again because boredom is killing me.
Is anyone else a history geek? I'd love to have a partner read because I love discussing the historical fiction/nonfiction I'm reading.
