It occured to me today, as today I posted my review of Intperpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri and updated my blog, that I am in a reading slump.
I would actually go a little further than that and suggest that a light fog of depression has descended upon me like a cloud sinking out of the sky to obscure my way. It's not so thick that I can't see through it, but it's thick enough to get in my way and make everything seem a little bit harder than usual. My last review was in early April and I've read four books in the last two months.
It's much harder to find joy at the moment. I'm overhwelmed and feel a little in a state of constant low level anxiety about work and my family. Everything really. Finishing my book club book was hard slog and writing the review was even harder.
In an attempt to pull myself through I have purchased the next book in one of my current favourites, the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. I hope that reading something that would ordinarily have me hooked by the second page will help.
