I keep hoping I figure out what I'm in the mood for.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336947764683939123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-47934345888027623442009-10-21T01:14:19.621-04:002009-10-21T01:14:19.621-04:00I'm always a mood reader, so what ever mood ta...I'm always a mood reader, so what ever mood take me to the book would be the one I will read. Otherwise if am picking book(s) am not in the mood for, than there be problem ;)<br /><br />But yes, that happen to me lot of times. There so many different genres to pick from that I don't know which one I'm in the mood to read. So I usually do a re-read to help solve that problem *LOL* ;)<br /><br />I be interested to hear your review/thought on Sapphire Dream. I never knew that Pamela Palmer write under another name..hmmm :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327851309182088290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-6691863073013353972009-10-20T00:17:17.660-04:002009-10-20T00:17:17.660-04:00That's what I'm dealing with right now.

So many books to read and it's so hard to settle on one!<br /><br />I ususally go complete out of the genre in question. For exmaple, if romance is the problem then I read fantasy or crime. Usually works a treat ;) I just finished my a fantasty novel (one of my all-time favourites) and am about to start The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie. I figure it's a good book to get back into the romance genre *grin*oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-43409346274552208432009-10-19T13:19:45.544-04:002009-10-19T13:19:45.544-04:00I had this happen to me last week.

I figured they were short and if I didn't like them I could just stop and not feel too guilty. lolTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-47153655883550414922009-10-19T06:59:59.784-04:002009-10-19T06:59:59.784-04:00I know this feeling, too.

I'll post my thoughts when I'm done :)<br /><br />Leslie: *laughing* I'd rather have too many then too few - but yep, I've been picking up, reading some, not in the mood and putting it down again. It's the mood - not the book.<br /><br />Barbara: I'd get so much more reading ACCOMPLISHED if I could settle on a mood to settle on a book.<br /><br />Hilcia: There is a difference isn't there? I'm in the mood to read - but I just can't figure out what?!?! A slump is different - then I'm just not in the mood to read anything!Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-63586366792858804222009-10-18T22:07:43.690-04:002009-10-18T22:07:43.690-04:00I'm very much a "mood reader."

The kind of book I'm interested in depends on my mood, and if I pick the wrong thing, I'll never enjoy it when I'm not in the right mood.<br /><br />I think we both have the same problem with an "embarrassment of riches" to choose from, which isn't really a bad problem to have! :)<br /><br />Let us know about SAPPHIRE DREAM.

Pick up another book, put it down etc. LOL <br /><br />Lately my problem is that I have so many that I want to read I can't decide what to read first. :) It could be worse, no books to read! *gasp*Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-59497653080031919732009-10-18T14:21:59.885-04:002009-10-18T14:21:59.885-04:00Oh, that happens to me all the time.

So many genres to choose from... sometimes I feel like a kid in a candy store and can't seem to choose.<br /><br />I also go for the trusty re-reads or 'comfort reads' when that happens. It usually works for me... if not, I.. hmm.... buy a totally new book that catches my eye, lol! That will DEFINITELY do it. ;PHilciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765831808358693421noreply@blogger.com
