Reading and Depression

Published on by Ashley LPLeave a comment

Hello to my few remaining followers.

This might be one of the most honest, and strange posts I’ll ever make.

I haven’t read a book since March. Or at least not consistently.

The reason for that is I’m no longer depressed.

Books were easier when I was depressed,when I had no energy, and no drive to do anything but hide from the world around me.

I lost the…I don’t want to say joy…of reading. But I lost the ability to sit down and bury myself in it the same way I once did.

I miss it though. I miss picking up a good book and devouring what’s inside. So this is my promise to you that my reviews, and hopefully some other content will appear here soon.

After all, I’ve got a list about a mile high.

I wasn’t going to write another post until tomorrow, was thinking that three a week would be good enough for me.

But then some news was announced today that made me so happy, so excited that I just had to share it with you all because it is major.

The Rockton series, possibly my favourite of Kelley Armstrong’s series’ is going to be a TV show. A Canadian made TV show, put into motion by the same studio that produced Orphan Black.

Now I know what you’re thinking, maybe you didn’t love Bitten. We can all admit that show had some problems, especially since they only had rights to the werewolves for some bizarre reason I have never understood.

But this is Rockton folks, this is the haven/fiery disaster that is Rockton. And the backdrop can be some beautiful Canadian scenery! Our mountains, our trees! And maybe our…rugged…actors?

Who would you like to cast in this show if you could? Who is your dream Rockton cast?

Currently Reading:

  1. A Conspiracy of Faith by Jussi Adler-Olsen
  2. The Austen Escape by Katherine Reay
  3. (Un)Masked by Anyta Sunday and Andy Gallo
  4. Wild Beauty by Anna-Marie McLemore

Reading Next:

  2. The Marco Effect by Jussi Adler-Olsen
  3. The Scarred Woman by Jussi Adler-Olsen
  4. Terminal City by Trevor Melanson
  5. Winter’s End by Trevor Melanson

I know some consider it weird to read so many books at one time, but none of them are anywhere near similar in genre and yet all of them capture my attention so perfectly, and some I don’t want to finish.

The suspense of Adler-Olsen’s work keeps me flipping the pages but yet not wanting to get to the end at times, because it’ll all be over.

The Austen Escape is a novel that enriches my love for all things Jane Austen.

(Un)Masked by Anyta Sunday and Andy Gallo is suspenseful in it’s own right, with beautiful language within.

Beauty is all that comes to mind with the cover and pages of Wild Beauty.
