Well, April started off good anyway. Some book disappointments but got "Lost" in a couple of really decent reads (one of which, in particular, still resonates in my mind), and had even started reminding myself of my love for films by starting to catch up on some I'd been wanting to see.
Then sadly, about three weeks in, a series of circumstances convinced me to give a long-term dream - writing. I finished both The Lost Village and The Lost Apothecary around the same time, suffering a book hangover with the latter especially. Then suddenly, I had lost the capacity - even desire - to read. Concentration impossible for more than a couple pages, and even when making myself pick up a book, no matter what it was, the desire to read just wasn't there.
So I turned to films, which took less concentration and allowed me to veg out; hence the eleven titles on this month's wrap-up. Had such hope for Melissa McCarthy's newest (hopes dashed) otherwise saw some fair-to-mediocre films with the occasional gem in between. Meanwhile, the most I could muster for the rest of the month, book-wise, were kidlit and graphic novels - though that said, there were a couple goodies in that mix!
Now in May, the slump continues (so far). HATE book slumps; don't think I've been mired in one for like six years, at least. And as there are some freaking amazing titles coming out in May - not to mention I've got blog tour commitments I'm trying to keep - fingers crossed I can push this trolley back on the tracks asap.
Any suggetions welcomed! See you in June, and oh yeah - have just barely started back to posting some long-overdue back reviews ... at last! Still a ways to go to catch up, but let's see what we can do ...
