Top 5 books on my reading radar this week

"There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book."
– Josh Jameson

I'm just coming out of a literary drought. For well over a month no book had managed to catch my interest for more than a few minutes at a time. While it happens every now and then, it's still an incredibly frustrating experience because it makes me feel half complete. Which is absolutely sappy and mawkish sounding, I know, but I don't know what I am without the bookish love. I associate the act of reading with so much of who I am - fangirl, geek, blogger, reader, storyteller, etc. - that to feel like I've lost the ability to enjoy it is to feel like I've lost those other parts of myself. Even if only temporarily. While I'm not quite back to devouring everything that moves (and lots of things that don't), I'm in a better headspace about it. I give you: Top 5 books on my reading radar this week (mostly new, with a few not-so-new thrown in for good measure).

Here's a question: How do YOU get through a reading drought?
