No 'War and Peace' This Week-- but a few thoughts on reading slumps...

I took a week off from War and Peace, but not for any reasons you'd expect. I'm still enjoying it and it's progressing relatively painlessly, but I wanted a week to enjoy other books because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. I read constantly, so it's not as if I've stopped, but I've definitely slowed down, and when I have free time, I'm just not reaching for a book these days.

#ReadWomen2014 gave my reading habits some loose structure and more of a purpose, so I think part of the problem is struggling with what to read/how to read now that it's over; this strikes me as funny because by the end of 2014 I had a long, long list of books by men I planned on reading. But these days nothing I'm reading is really thrilling me. Maybe it's inevitable to get tired after almost a year of reading and blogging at breakneck speed, but lately books just don't interest me.

Do you ever have reading slumps? What books have you read to get out of one?
