Reading Slump

Same here. I wondering if, in my case, it’s connected to spending time online. A book was always my go-to when I had some time to myself, but I find myself online more frequently lately.
I’ve just borrowed what I hope will be an absolute page-turner from the library to get me reading again (nothing too demanding to start with).

I'm so sorry Babs03, after a difficult bereavement in my 30's i couldn't concentrate on a book & it makes everything so much worse (for a book-0-hollic).
For me I had 2 young children at the time so they kept me going until my head was in a better place. I hope you can find joy in a good book again soon.

Have had a really difficult year and is not improving so I find it impossible to sit down with a book, which is usually such a joy.
Instead I watch rubbish on prime video and usually nod off half way through.

Happens to me too, especially after books I’ve really loved. SueDonim, I’ve taken to reading non fiction when this happens and it usually does the trick.

Relieved to know it’s not just me ❤️

I’ve never experienced this in my life until earlier this year. There’s been a number of difficult events among family and friends and I completely lost my reading mojo. I found it quite alarming, to be honest, because I have always read a book before going to sleep and now, I had no interest at all.

I’ve only just begun reading again, and with a really bizarre choice - a book about an overland trek across America! I’ve been engrossed in it so maybe non-fiction is going to appeal to me more for now.

I hope you get your mojo back soon! 📖 📕 📚

I think it's entirely natural, particularly if reading a book that isn't grabbing you and worse still if that follows one you've really loved. I think it's worth moving on until you find one that you enjoy.

I know what you mean.

When this happens to me I reread a favourite book, usually works.

Yeah, happens a lot to me, it’s annoying isn’t it? I usually get over it by buying a really exciting book and reading it non stop.
