Why Can't I Read?

Why Can't I Read?: A Children's Book on Dyslexia | Laurie O'Hara

I am in such a reading slump got too much on my mind 🤯 Pick up a book, read afew pages and then put it down. Even reading the latest in my fav series isn't doing anything for me 😒
Go away Covid 19!!

MicheleinPhilly I‘ve just been leaning INTO the slumps. I seem to be in an every other month pattern so I‘m just waiting for June. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

suzie.reads @MicheleinPhilly it's really annoying! I've waited a year for the new Lucas Davenport book and I just cant seem to get into it. Hope June is better for you 🙂 4y

Why Can't I Read?: A Children's Book on Dyslexia | Laurie O'Hara

I usually read 1 physical book a week sometimes more plus listen to 1-2 audiobooks each week. At the moment though I just can‘t concentrate on reading at all. I‘ve picked up and put down so many novels. I can‘t keep my focus, I don‘t care about any characters nor follow a storyline. It makes me feel like I‘m not myself. How do I get my reading mojo back?

sprainedbrain What usually works for me is to read something very different from all of the books I‘ve been trying to read... for me, that‘s usually something very short, funny or a really ‘trashy‘ romance novel. I call it a palate cleanser and I can usually get back to my planned reading after that. Good luck! 4y

CarolynM I've been a bit out of sorts with reading over the last few weeks too. Maybe there's something in the air. I try not to let it worry me and just keep trying things until something sticks. I think I'm getting over it. Hope you do soon🙂 4y

Sace Like @CarolynM I try to just accept it and not stress too much. And like @sprainedbrain i pick up something short and quick like Nancy Drew or a middle grade novel 4y

Sace And wow I wish you could edit comments on the Android app. That should be a capital "I" up there. And a period. Also meant to add that lately I've also been listening to an audiobook of a book I have a physical copy of too. So I listen with the physical book in front of me. That has helped my focus as well. 4y

Chrissyreadit I agree with @sprainedbrain - when I‘m struggling I read a fun easy read that does not take much thought, but I also listen to bookish podcasts. They tend to give me inspiration too. 4y

Graywacke I hate slumps. I don‘t have any answers for you, but I sympathize. Happens to me all too often. 4y
