I'm in a rut. I know it and I still don't know what to do about it. I've got several books started, yet none of them are holding my attention or calling my name. I'm picking them up and reading a few pages only out of obligation or sheer stubbornness.
I have an enormous stack of books that I really want to read, and I keep forcing myself to pick up the half finished ones! I know better than to waste my time on books that I'm not interested in, heck! life's too short for that, but I keep doing it! Take for instance Life Without Summer by Lynne Griffin. I've read some great reviews about this book, but it's just not capturing my attention. Should I put it aside and maybe go back to it? Or do I just post it on PBS and move it along? I'm so afraid that I'll miss a great book by giving up to soon, but where is the line? Fifty pages, a hundred?
Then, I have three books that I got last week from Elle magazine's March juror thing-a-ma-jig and I'm not the least bit interested in any of them. So, if anyone out there has read any of these three, please give me something! I am obligated to review these books, but I'm having trouble forcing them open. Don't know what I'm going to do!

I'm reading Her Fearful Symmetry by the chick who wrote The Time Traveler's Wife.
It's excellent and very long with short chapters!
I haven't read any of these books. The Girl Who Fell From The Sky is on my wishlist, though. I usually give a book 50 pages or so. Then, if I just can't get into it, I move on, and post the book on PBS. :)
Missy, I'd be happy to send you my ARC copy of The Girl Who Fell From the Sky! You can find my on PBS @ kysmom02.
the books interested you at one time or you wouldn't have gotten them. I'd say just put them on the bottom of the pile for awhile. If after some time has passed, say a year and you still don't want to read them then trade them! I don't know what to say about the books for review. :(
The Girl Who Fell From the Sky is on my wishlist too. I heard about it when I saw Barbara Kingsolver at her L.A. event. If Kingsolver chose the book for the Bellwether prize, I'm thinking it must be good. I love all of her stuff.
