It helps to talk about it, though, so thanks, Tammy. Hang in there is kind of the motto right now. :)Jen | Book Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512363115012929445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-35977268550775704252022-10-30T15:21:27.983-05:002022-10-30T15:21:27.983-05:00Thank you.

And ugh, reading slumps! They are no fun but at least they're temporary.

I don't feel like reading when I'm worrying about things either. I suffer from anxiety too and the mental exhaustion is so frustrating. But try not to beat yourself up about it. Give yourself the rest you need and you will naturally start to read again when you're ready.<br />The doll in the garden looks terrifying! Dolls, dummies and waxwork figures creep me out so I would avoid that one because of the cover alone. But I'm glad you enjoyed it.Anstice Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659015918272722407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-65657049453361115902022-10-26T04:43:31.134-05:002022-10-26T04:43:31.134-05:00Aw, thank you so much, Anne.
