I know that I said that I would not slow down my reading while I caught up with last months reviews but I did. However before everyone buys those nifty pitchforks at angryMobsRus.com I would like to say that I was doing other things too. I had a exam in math, a last minute paper that I was forced to revise (i.e. redo because my teacher chose the day before it was due to become picky), a five foot scarf to knit in under a week (mothers can be surprisingly impatient, especially went since that scarf was originally made for myself as a bit of a side project), and I will admit I was in a bit of a book slump.
If you have been following the last few book reviews they have not been the most positive. That happens to me sometimes where I run into a string of books that I just don't like and I will admit that the longer the dry spell goes the crueler my reviews get. After I began Beautiful Creatures I felt as if my slump was over. I finally remembered that books were grand and I loved them. Too bad Ridley decided to show up because the moment I began to read about her I began to sink. It is so depressing for me. But this has always happened to me. Yet I will overcome it because even though the thought of Ridley depresses me I am finding that if I just trudge on and ignore the sadness that the depression is lifting. It never lasts for very long. At the longest a couple of months but soon I am back on my book loving train and this one feels as if it too will hopefully be short. However I can not honestly say that my book reviews for a while might not be excessively harsh.
Sorry for the long delay. And Happy Turkey Day. (Or Thanksgiving if you are American because I am. That is the only reason that I specifically mention Thanksgiving.)
