Not sure if that’s a thing. But it should be.
This week I have started several books, finished a couple, and trolled around for any that catch my interest. But nothing stood out. Seeing that several authors I like have new books or have books I haven’t read, I’m guessing my inability to get immersed in a book is not on them.
It’s me. Not you.
Ugh. Its so hard when your favorite hobby seemingly abandons the joy giving feature it generally shines with.
So, I decided to listen to all the breakup angsty songs I could find. I am a Gen Xer, so I returned to the songs of the late 80s and 90s. Mostly country with some hard rock mixed in. It was certainly an eclectic mix. Let’s go from “Somebody Should Leave” by Reba to “I Hate Myself for Loving You” by Joan Jett.
I turned it up loud enough that my kids put their earbuds in and shut the door to their room and got a shit-ton of work done. It was exactly what I needed. I listened to all the songs on my playlist – sone more than once because the Echo’s shuffling ability evidently doesn’t care if it already played that one!
I have some books I’d like to read and review here, but experience tells me that when I’m feeling this way then it negatively impacts how I feel about a book. Double ugh. So I will just wait this out. The feeling will pass.

That happens to me too sometimes. I’ll have books lined up to read next, but just don’t feel like reading them particularly. Or I can’t decide what kind of book I’d like to read. A lot of times I go back and reread some favorites. That usually helps. Luckily for me, it never lasts too long.

yeah – I relistened to Falling into Bed with a Duke by Lorraine Heath and that seems to have solved the problem. I have a crap ton of stuff happening at home and work (all good!) And I think that is at the root of it.
