… when you can’t even enjoy a good book.
Sigh.
Dealing with some unexpected stuff in my “real” (aka, non-book-related) life that’s turned kind of icky. And the worst part is, when I try to escape into the pages of a book, I’m completely unable to concentrate.
Not fair!
When life sucks, the book cure should always work!
Tried to listen to an audiobook while driving home, as I usually do, but it was completely pointless. I kept having to hit the “back” button when I’d realize that my mind had drifted away.
I shall persevere! I refuse to let the yuck keep me from my #1 cure for everything.
If only I could get my brain to turn off the distractions…
But I’ll be brave, march forward, and go stick my nose inside my book one more time! If I try hard enough, I’m pretty sure I can make the rest of the world go away.
After all:

I’ve been in the same rut for the last few days. I just need something to consume my soul.
That’s really tough. I think we all experience that from time to time. Luckily, sometimes it only takes one great book to snap us out of it!
I know this feeling! I’m going through the same thing at the moment. It’s awful, isn’t it? I hope you’re okay?
Thank you so much for caring! There’s just a lot of *&$%$% (trying to clean up my language!) going on the moment, and it’s really distracting me from everything else, and the fact that I’m so distracted is just adding to my bad mood. Sigh. Hopefully, I’ll either snap out of it by the weekend or the ickiness itself will start to lighten up.
Ugh, reading is usually my escape so I am sure it sucks when books are no longer able to take you away. I hope your life stuff gets better and I hope you are able to escape within the pages of a book soon.
Thank you so much!
oh sorry to hear that! I’m always hitting the back button under normal circumstances. I’ll take me forever to finish an audio book if I were going through I hard time 🙂
hope things get better soon!
Thank you – I really appreciate it!
I’ve definitely been in the same position you have before! Sometimes it happens, but it comes and goes! Books will always be there to comfort!
Very true! And books have gotten me through all sorts of hard times in the past, so I have hope!
😦 hope things look up for you (on all fronts) very soon.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind thoughts!
I hope everything is working out for you!
Thank you! I appreciate your support. I’ve gotten re-involved in a good book in the last few days, so at least my reading is looking up!
