I used to read till 2 years back but then pandemic happened and it changed everything. I still bought books but was unable to concentrate because of studies and surroundings. I would always pick up books(audiobooks, ebooks), read for few pages and kept it aside.
This year in Jan I bought 8 new books and pledge to get out of this slump as soon as possible. (Pretty late) I started with the shortest book to get started and it's going pretty well😊
I'm having some pretty major reader's block due to brain fog and general blahs - can anyone give me a recommendation to get me out of my slump? I've been reading a lot of meta-fiction lately, like Grady Hendrix and Seanan McGuire, but I'm up for anything so long as it isn't overly realistic. Don't mind depressing so long as it's in a sf/f context, but some humor might be nice too. Free kitty picture as my tax.
I have had a serious reading block the last 8 or so days. 😔😫 Maybe flipping through a magazine will get me going again. 🤞🏻
Is there one for Reader‘s block? I could really use it right now.
Saw this on Instagram and it made me wonder....what kind of reader are you?!
I would say I am a mix of a few of them: some books I finish too soon, I do collect books, I sometimes take a long time to pick a book I want to read, and my students would tell you that I read 24/7 (in fact one told me last week that I need to “cool it” with the book reading, 😂)
I'll take "crippling ennui" and "overwhelmed by infinite possibilities" for starters....
In the throes of reader‘s block, I feel very seen by this article. 😆 https://nyti.ms/2Yk7DZi
Beta-reading for a friend. A 1920s story with a mystery in it. Definitely up my alley.
Unfortunately, l think this story would need a lot more work.
I stared at this display in the library for quite a few minutes trying to figure out the significance of it. Just now I looked at the picture and realized what was going on. That took a bit of time.
How long does it take you to decide to bail on a book?
#tfw you accidentally hit "RENEW ALL" instead of "RENEW SELECTED" on your library's website ????? #bookishproblems
I do so recognise myself in this Grant Snider cartoon. I keep going through stages 6-9...

This has been me for the past five days with a bunch of stupid stressors leaving me too agitated for reading, audiobooks, EVEN LITSY!!! But today things are looking a little less crazy, I started a new audiobook, and I'm getting caught up on Serial Reader. Hallelujah, I think I'm on my way back!
