I've reached a reading block. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 03/10/2011 08:34:23 PM
Like a writing block, just at the other end.

I'm bored with the books on our shelf, I don't want to read anything overly serious, but I want to try something new. Something that will tickle my fancy as much as Gail Carriger did.

Any ideas? I don't want anything that ends badly. Or anything with horrible stuff. I want something light and happy and charming.

Help me, Rafonauts. You're my only hope.*

I think you've hit the nail on the head, actually. Rebekah - 10/10/2011 06:43:02 PM 898 Views
There is actually a book called that: Reader's Block. But it is not fun and simple. Camilla - 04/10/2011 07:05:14 PM 851 Views

Wilde, Pratchett or something similarly humourous and witty usually helps me at that point. *NM* Stephen - 05/10/2011 06:20:28 PM 392 Views
