Thank you so much! I cannot even tell you how much this comment made my whole day. So many of the comments I get on these posts are only about the books. I have blogging buddies who I know take the time to read--and are truly interested in knowing--the life updates that I post on Saturdays, but I LOVE knowing that their are other bloggers out there who read it, too. It is such a weird and hard and different time in my life. I know that 10 months isn't that long in the scheme of things--especially with generous holiday time off--but it really is so hard to be away from my home and husband while also dealing with the stress of being a first year teacher. <br /><br />Also, I know that you are totally right about my slump, but it really does suck as books have always played such a huge part in my life. <br /><br />THANK YOU for writing this!

I've seen mixed things for both, so I'm hoping I'm one of the ones who enjoys them. :P I read Zac & Mia, and I don't think the focus was so much on the illness as the kids themselves, so it didn't seem as sad and depressing to me as other stories like it. Mia is a pretty unlikable character for much of the book, and I love those, so it worked really well for me. I got the eARC -- which did let me send it to my Kindle, weird -- but I also got a regular ARC. If you decide to read it, you can totally borrow my copy. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-395021384804901152014-09-29T21:26:47.096-04:002014-09-29T21:26:47.096-04:00Glad to hear work is going better.

I just skim for the most part so I get the major points and characters again; otherwise, I have NO IDEA what's going on in the new book. I wish I could wait until all of the books are out, but it's impossible. Hope you get out of your slump soon! ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-15996501525395163312014-09-29T14:19:13.441-04:002014-09-29T14:19:13.441-04:00Great post!

I ...Great post! I can't wait to read The Fall! <br />I did read Zac & Mia, and it wasn't as amazing as I hoped it would be. So maybe read it later when you think you can handle it? I guess I'm saying I don't think it's worth reading if you're on the fence.<br />I totally understand what you're saying. My job has gotten more stressful recently and once that happens, I tend to not read at all. That said, Thanksgiving is coming up! So hopefully you'll be bringing home lots of books! :) <br />kimberlybuggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142330111124522741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-52791829697370138942014-09-29T08:01:01.961-04:002014-09-29T08:01:01.961-04:00I don't think I read one book my first year of...I don't think I read one book my first year of teaching, expect the books/stories I was teaching. I probably only read over break (if I wasn't grading) or over summer. It's just so hard…I get it! You'll eventually find time once you become used to the curriculum, etc, but who knows where you will be next year. I hope you can find a job in PA! I am looking forward to your thoughts on Exquisite Captive. I also got a copy of Black Ice!

I had no idea that's what This Is Where it Ends was about---not I'm interested! :D The Fall was soooo good, I loved it, but somehow I know it's going to be one of those kinds of stories that doesn't work for everyone---so I hope you love it! :D Also excited for Pennyroyal and Sweet Unrest!

Every Saturday I have to read the, I rarely miss it in fact, because I want to know how you're getting on. I never really comment because I never have much to say, but I always read it because I want to see how teaching going for you and see how you're coping with the distance from home.<br /><br />I'm only commenting because I want to thank you for being so open with your personal life when a lot of bloggers aren't but also I wanted to say your slump (which is the reason why I wanted to comment in the first place) is something that will probably pass with time. When you start a new job, especially when there are such huge changes going on like there are with you, it drains you a bit, and hopefully soon you'll feel a bit more motivated when you've finished work and want to read something, but it will come back, so don't be disheartened. When I started my last job I stopped reading for a good few months because I couldn't work up the energy to read after work, but I'm back reading now. All it can take is finding the right book sometimes, but it will happen.<br /><br />Sorry, this comment has become an essay.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.com
