It's hard when we lose the desire to do even our favorite things. You sound depressed. Keep your chin up. Your desire to read will come back in due course. =O)
Hi Melissa!
There are times where I get into bit of a rut with my reading as well. For me, I hit peaks and valleys. My valleys usually come right around the early spring with the Stanley Cup playoffs.
I know it's difficult when you don't have a loved one around to talk with and just enjoy their company. I'm sorry about your father, just try and remember the good times and when you're ready, you'll be back to reading with more frequency.
Last month, I felt as though I were just plodding along in reading. So far, it's a lot better this month...mainly because I'm cutting out some of my other distractions.
Melissa, go easy on yourself. If you love reading, it will come back to you! In the meantime just enjoy what you are doing, and don't worry about (not) reading.
I've been feeling the same way recently but for different reasons. I'm hoping to find that one amazing book that gets me excited again.
I completely understand and went through my own book reading slump. It happens and for people who don't read, they don't understand how that in itself can be hard for bibliophiles since reading is out outlet. I wrote a little bit about my own slump this summer. I am attaching my link to that particular post. Chin up and keep us posted!
