A Little Life Update + Reading Slumps

So those plans I had for this blog and what I wanted to post and when haven't gone well this summer, it just hasn't really happened at all. I find it annoying because this was a priority for me, until I had to put it to the side over the last few weeks.

Usually when I go quiet on this blog I cite mental health problems, or school and more recently a holiday, however this time it was due to my physical health. I have had some problems, they know what's causing it now, and I've had an operation to help me. I've been quiet because of that operation, it took a lot out of me even though it was minor (so don't worry), and I wanted some time to think about what it meant for me.

I'm coming back now because I feel like myself again, and I can do more now - anesthetic can be a real bitch. I want talk about what was going on and all of that, but I won't do it here - here is not the right place. I think I'm going to create a separate, and maybe more personal blog for that. 

Not only has this whole physical health problem impacted a lot of my personal life recently, it's impacted my involvement in reading and this blog. To those who may not have heard from me in a while, I'm very sorry but I'm back now and I promise I'll try to catch up on what I missed. It's also meant I've been a crap reader recently and I've not read anything. purely due to the anesthetic as I couldn't concentrate for a long time - I can now though!

Although, this has created a massive reading slump for me. I have no drive to read; none. This is all despite the fact I've somehow acquired some books recently and now I don't know what to do because I'm starting uni soon and I can't take everything I want with me; and I also don't know how long this slump will last - will it last into uni? I don't know. 

Usually when I'm in a bad slump like this I'll buy a book by Tom Hoyle, they're middle grade books written by a headteacher who believes there should be some form of action in every chapter - which there is. Maybe that's why they're such good books to get me out of a reading slump, they're fast-paced, easy to follow and lots happens. However, I can't buy another of his right now because I'm meant to be saving for uni, and looking at my shelves I don't think I have any reads similar to this. 

Maybe, I'm being dramatic - seriously, I have quite the flair for it, if you hadn't noticed many of my personal blog posts like this always are dramatic. I'm sure I'll find something, it may just take some time. Although, I can still keep posting during this slump as I read a lot whilst I was on holiday before this slump, and I want to talk a bit about what I read so those will be coming soon. 

Thank you for anyone whose been patient with me, and if you're new: hi! I promise more is on the way soon and I simply leave you with this question: 

What do you do or read to get yourself out of a reading slump?
