I seem to be experiencing a severe case of ‘missing reading mojo’.
How should I embark on getting it back?
I’ve gone from devouring a book in a couple of days, to not having devoured one since the beginning of December. Nothing seems to grab my attention and keep me captivated.
I’ve tried chick-lit, murder mystery, christian, psychological thriller, humour, self-help and even a classic.
Nada, niks.
Suggestions anyone?

Major bummer! Have you tried a graphic novel? I’ve just recently gotten into them and really enjoy it. They are quick and easy to read and it can be a nice change from a “regular” book. I don’t mean comics or manga, but a good graphic novel. I recommend Aya by Abouet (teen age girls in Ivory Coast).
My other recommendation is to walk away from books for a few days so you don’t feel pressured. Watch a good movie or TV show.
Hope you get your mojo back soon!
I would also suggest walk away.
Either that or non-fiction? Maybe a biography or something.
Movies work for me too. Weirdly enough, so does revisiting old favourites – reading books I love again. I think the fact that I know the stories so well is undemanding on my brain.
