Searching for my reading Mojo ….

Posted July 21, 2018 by Nix in Tuesday Talk / 2 Comments

I haven’t reviewed in weeks.

It isn’t that I haven’t been reading (boy have I been reading….) but I can’t seem to get out of my re-read cycle!

So what did it? What killed the best reading streak I’ve been on in years? It was a book. Not a bad book, just a meh book.

I just didn’t love it. It wasn’t a bad book, it was just a Meh book. Other people absolutely love it so it must be me right?

Now I’m struggling to start new books. The disappointment of falling from such a high left a sour taste and reading is so precious to me that I have to protect it.

I know this feeling will fade but, for now, I’m going to keep cycling through my favourite series. There will be reviews…don’t worry!
