STILL can't get into a book.... any suggestions???

Okay, my fellow book bloggers and readers, I am still in my reading slump but would love to latch onto something!  I know asking for book suggestions is like asking for a specific grain of sand on a dune, but I'm puttin' it out there anyway.  I am looking for A) some escape reading B) preferably historical fiction set in middle ages- ish, but would also love anything at this point  C) nothing TOO fluffy or brain dead, but almost.  D) something I can get into right away. 

So far I have picked up and put down the following (this says NOTHING about the quality of book, for sure, as I know I will LOOOVE them when my brain is not in weird-mode):

  • Hunger Games
  • Graceling
  • East of Eden
  • Wolf Hall
  • The Boleyn Inheritance
  • Friends, Lovers and Chocolate by Alexander McCall Smith
See what I mean?   I need HELP.  Ugh.

Maybe I just need to NOT read for awhile, if that's even possible.  Is that possible?  I don't know.  I know there are other people out there who are feeling the same exact way, someone said it was the January reading slump?  I'll have to pay attention in coming years from now on, I have a feeling they are probably right on with that!

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!  And I look forward to reading all of your bookish suggestions!
