I read a comment somewhere that said “Reading is just staring at a piece of paper with ink on it and hallucinating” thought that was kind of an interesting way to put it.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who was slumping in March. The first half started out great, but the second half of the month were rough for me 😂

@FrankieB217 Месяц назад

I have only Dune for my April TBR. I finally got to it and I'm about 200 pages in and it's phenomenal! I was also in a huge reading slump in March and I just said screw my plans let's read something I wanted to read for ages and I finally picked up Dune and it was the best decision for me. Dune is gonna be a great journey, I'm sure of it

@jakobwetzel7065 2 месяца назад

Back to the Expanse- Babylon ashes, Empire of the vampire, Famous for my Blake Crouch pallet cleanser, and I am reading my daughter, the lion the witch and the wardrobe. Then probably starting Persepolis Rising.

@kingzzz6509 2 месяца назад

I April TBR is going to be The Fellowship of the Ring (re-read), The Call of Cthulhu (H. P. Lovecraft), The Scarlet Citadel (Robert E. Howard), The Shadow of the Torturer (Gene Wolfe), Death Mask (Jim Butcher) and The Emerald Storm (Michael J. Sullivan).

@kirstenholmes6 2 месяца назад

I’m currently reading The Alloy of Law. I’m reading all of the Cosmere books leading up to Wind and Truth’s release.

@kevinwalsh9704 2 месяца назад

For March into April I’m finishing up The Hero of Ages and Empire of the Damned. Once I’m done with those, I’m finally starting The Bound and Broken (I might be able to get through Of Darkness and Light), very excited about getting into that series. And in between books 1 and 2 I’m reading the Sword of Kaigen and after book 2 I’m reading the Song of Achilles.

@BenLaSoul908 2 месяца назад

Dreamcatcher was a good read. Can't wait till you hit streets of laredo. It's going to go by faster than you think

Pallette cleanser - Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey - 416 pages of pretty much non-stop action.

@astellus 2 месяца назад

This might be a good month to read Replay by Ken Grimwood. It gives me huge Blake Crouch vibes.

@Uppernorwood976 2 месяца назад

Streets of Laredo is great, it’s not quite as epic as Lonesome Dove but if anything the characterisation is even better. The main villain is an all timer.

@arabellawillow9248 2 месяца назад

April is all about The Bound And The Broken for me. Books 2 and 3 plus The Exile and The Ice .. i may try to squeeze in either Deadhouse Gates or Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse if I have time as well.

@Viksbelle Месяц назад

@jaredschmidt8440 2 месяца назад

Gonna be finishing up the Nevernight Chronicles by Jay Kristoff in early April. Real big fan of his now. Thanks for the recommendation, Mike! Also looking forward to finishing the Expanse. Enjoy your reads, good sir!

Dream catcher is my first Stephen King I loved the movie I still quote it I still sing the song all the time, the book was good. I felt it was a good like dip in the pool. I did like the shining more but I'm still working through most of kings works slowly and I hope you still like it cause I can't be the only one

@Thaurnol 2 месяца назад

nice, mike, i also want to read The Dreamcather! i will also enjoy some of Mr. King's work, starting with From a Buick 8 and i'm also watching Salem's Lot (1979) as we speak! you also got me into Blake Crouch, as the last book i've finished was Wayward Pines; thank you for doing what you do

@esmayrosalyne 2 месяца назад

Good on you for listening to the mood and reassassing what you are craving right now to get back that reading mojo!! I hope The War for the Rose Throne series ends on a high note for you, I loved it myself! Happy reading ☺

Finishing up Towers of Midnight this week and will start Memory of Light on the 1st! It’s going to be a sad day when I come to the end of that journey but so excited for time to read some other big series now! (John Gwynne perhaps!?)

@benconlin3557 2 месяца назад

I’m going to end up taking Shogun into April, not read it much in March. I think it’s great but very heavy so don’t mind if it takes a while. Only read Dark Matter by Crouch but Snowbound actually sounds really interesting. Tbh I’ve not thought about Dreamcatcher much, had no idea what it was about but sounds good and definitely has IT vibes. You keep adding to my endless list Mike 😂

@mikesbookreviews 2 месяца назад

I cannot recommend Crouch enough.

@PhoenixBooks27 2 месяца назад

I do the same thing, just jump out of fantasy and scifi for a bit and have a refresh. I recently read a non-fiction called Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson and was blown away by how much of it was like reading a thriller and how sometimes I was like no way this is real, this has to be fiction. Anyway its a good one, about deep wreck divers that found a U-Boat in the early 90s and this u-boat wasn't documented anywhere, so how do they find out what it is and a lot of it is also how risky it was to dive at these over 200ft depths especially back then. Its a great almost quick read if you're really looking for something different.

@BrianBell7 2 месяца назад

glad you are shaking up the tbr to get out of the slump. nothing wrong with changing some batting orders! I'm certain I'll be reading Streets of Laredo this summer.

@heidi6281 2 месяца назад

I loved Dreamcatcher. “Bacon!!” I am listening to The Tombs of Autuan, book 2 of Earthsea and The Ship of Magic. Boy, Liveship Traders is fabulous, the story took off for me once Athlea was introduced.

@MultiWar22 2 месяца назад

That list makes perfect sense to get out of a reading slump. I hope your mood is improved enough for the Sun Eater when you get to it, Mike. I really got to read more Blake Crouch (only read Recursion so far) and King (only read The Shining). I've got a few of King's in here, might read some of it after I'm finished with Malazan. My April is going to be a very exciting one, I think. I've only got 1 book planned, and that's The Crippled God. If everything goes right (meaning: I can keep up my rythm with Dust of Dreams, which has been great), I think I can start it in the first week of April, and maybe I can finish it in April, maybe not, but it doesn't matter. I'm very happy either way

@stacielara9856 2 месяца назад

Do you like short story collections? These help me get out of reading slumps. Or going back and reading an old favorite helps me too.

@Knighthawk92 2 месяца назад

Good reminder to "Get out of Your Comfort Zone" or Switch Genre to get out of a slump. I will use that myself in April to help me get back into reading more. Best of luck to you Mike. Sounds like you got a great month ahead. I am planing to read book 3 of 'Way of Edan', finish "Small Gods" and mix things up to try and get out of the slump I am in. Thanks.

I remember liking Dreamcatcher, wasn't sure why it got so much hate. I read Lonesome Dove this year, and loved it. I want to get to the sequels but I've got so much on my TBR.

@katec.6530 2 месяца назад

I have given up on a TBR, I just call mine a "Wish List". I wish I had the time, energy and interest to read of all these. Its good to take a break and jump around to other things, keeps thing interesting. I've got a classic going (Jane Eyre) and mystery (The Round House) and have started on a Dune re-read (audiobook this time). It's all about having fun and discovering something new. Don't forget opening day is coming soon, gotta make time for game. Go Stros!

@briteskin 2 месяца назад

A new read for April is up in the air. The new reads I am possibly looking at are a modern ghost story, a Vietnam War fictional recount, a gritty western, or pick up the next Dresden Files book. I decided I am going to switch back and forth between Lord of the Rings and The Dark Tower. So my reread will be The Gunslinger though the newer edition which I have never read but won't count it as new since the additions are nowhere like the later version of The Stand. The designated 'Book 3' of Shogun will continue my 6 month first read of that book.

@Speed202 2 месяца назад

@misternegative4918 2 месяца назад

Currently reading Sword of Kaigen, hopefully will finish before April starts. Should be reading Call of the Bone Ships and A Time of Dread. Hoping to get through all of Gwynne’s books before Fury of the Gods releases.

@stevenstewart782 2 месяца назад

Dream catcher was Pretty odd story but I really enjoyed it Much much more than the movie And I read the book 1st

@mikequist1 2 месяца назад

My April is mostly mysteries and thrillers: The Graveyard Shift (Jack Higgins), The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Agatha Christie), A Ticket to the Boneyard (Lawrence Block), A Taint in the Blood (Dana Stabenow), and Nobody Lives Forever (John Gardner, a James Bond novel). My fantasy and scifi extends to the following: Lost Tribe of the Sith and Revan-The Old Republic (Star Wars books), Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar (Edgar Rice Burroughs) and Foundation and Empire (Isaac Asimov). If time permits, I'm picking up Lonesome Dove (on your recommendation).

My April TBR schedule: «The Green Pearl» (Lyonesse Trilogy #2) by Jack Vance ((Pre-)Arthurian Fantasy) «Ash: A Secret History» by Mary Gentle (Alt-Historical Military Fiction inspired by the Mercenary Wars of the Renaissance) «The City» (City of Victory Trilogy #2) by Adrian Goldsworthy (Historical Military Fiction set during Emperor Trajan’s Campaigns) «Empire of Silence» (Sun Eater, #1) by Christopher Ruocchio (Space opera) «Idoru» by William Gibson (Cyberpunk) «Kings of the Wyld» by Nicholas Eames (Fantasy Humor)

I am in a terrible reading slump myself. i was fully focused on empire of silence and then i just completely fell off of it for no reason. I'm attempting to read 11/22/63 now to try and dig my way out, but I'm not sure if it's going to help😅 I've been buying too many books lately, i think that's the problem, every time i get a new one, the grass always seems greener on the other side and i don't know why. I have a terrible commitment problem with new series that i try because they're just not what I've read before (obviously) and i have the fear of being let down by the new series or standalone i Guess. (Im thinking too much about it😅)

Lest one falls further into demotivation, since trying to pick up the next thing is the worst.
