Meaning that if it had to take one month or one year, so be it. It never worked for me to force myself into reading something, that only ever made it worse.<br />Sometimes though, when i felt a down about reading, picking up an old favourite like Harry Potter or True Blood could give me back my love for books. <br />That being said, sometimes i do need a break from reading. I read alot, sometimes more than 15 or 20 books a month, and once every few years i just hit that wall where i need a few weeks or even months off the books. But i always end up coming back. They are my babies after all. <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428577181594967935.post-77018243261765992892013-01-03T08:25:54.600-08:002013-01-03T08:25:54.600-08:00I always re-read my favorite books during a readin...I always re-read my favorite books during a reading frunk!

I know people say to take a break but you've tried that and you've also tried different books. Maybe try a bunch of books, giving them 50-100 pages and just move on until you find another that sticks?<br /><br />Either way, I hope you can bust your reading funk!Vegan YA Nerdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11244310544451371368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428577181594967935.post-86498919746837706852013-01-01T07:44:16.204-08:002013-01-01T07:44:16.204-08:00I've been in a reading funk too.

I had to search books outside my normal genres and sample dozens of books to find the one that stuck.
