It started with crazy deadlines at work. Then I got swept up in family obligations, sushi nights, celebrity gossip sites, bronchitis. Next thing I know, it’s mid February, more than two months into the new year, and I’ve read only (gasp!) TWO. BOOKS! Helllllp! I’m stuck in a groady, god-awful READING SLUMP.
