*Book Blogger Hop* Reading Slumps (Nov. 29)

We are on to a new week for the Book Blogger Hop hosted by the lovely folks over at Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. This weeks questions is: 

How do you deal with reading slumps or moments when you can't get into a book? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

Typically I just start reading another book if the book I'm currently trying to read isn't doing it for me. That's part of why I have like 25 books started right now (although some of them are older book club reads that I didn't finish before their meetings, and now they're just no longer a priority so I'll get back to them when I get to them). Switching between books helps me to stay interested in what I'm reading, because I can read to whatever mood I'm in at any given time, and that typically heads off reading slumps. 

If I'm having a real slump like I did a couple years ago when I was in the middle of a long depressive episode, I just let it happen. Sometimes there's really nothing to be done about it, and just trust that eventually I'll come out of it and want to read again. 

What about you? What do you do when you find yourself in a reading slump?
