I'm certainly an amateur compared to most.

Book number 49 completed. Just one more book to get to the 50 I pledged on GoodReads. It's been a heck of a reading year for me.

I haven't read in weeks. This is the worst "drought" I think I've ever had.

I just can't imagine that. I don't think I've ever missed a day since I learned to read (well, perhaps my wedding day...).

I'm with you Orlok, I don't think I have ever missed a day, besides my wedding day, worth of reading.

Same here. There might be the odd day I've missed, but they're extremely rare. I always read in bed, before I sleep, and maybe if I broke that routine it would be tricky to fit in.

I read in bed, on the toilet (too much information?), waiting at the doctor/dentist/chiropractor/(insert practioner of preference here), waiting to pick the kids up from school, on the train, on holiday by the pool-side whist the kids swim, and also listen to books whist driving.

Do I have a problem, I wonder...?

No. I was reading the way that you are, I'm just not able to get back there for some reason. I still carry my Kindle with me wherever I go, and I have quite an abundance of reading material, including the series I've been reading all summer. I'm obviously the one with the "problem".

I went through a period like that, too. I just kept picking up books, starting them, and putting them down. I just couldn't get into any of them.

I finally just picked up a short story and made it through, then another one and made it through. Then chose a light, fluffy, short, cozy mystery to read and then another short, fluffy, fun novel. I was able to get back to wanting to read. I think I was reading too many novels that were either intense or detailed and I was not relaxing after a busy day. Switching to short and fun novels helped get me back to reading again.

I hope you are able to get back to enjoying it, again.

Thanks, Dreams! That sounds like a great idea. I have many short stories floating around on my Kindle and I never really think about them.

I miss a day every now and then. But it's been a while since I missed more than a few days in a row.

I still have one book left on my required reading list. Thankfully I've got four months to fit it in because I'm really burying myself in lighter reading material right now.
