hi! I have the problem that I think quite a few people end up with, which is that I used to consume books at a concerning rate in high school, but once I graduated, I stopped reading. I don't know if my somewhat brief stint in college knocked the want to read out of me, but I have a serious desire to go back to reading books and enjoying the stories in them. plus, I think it would help my writing if I would read actual books.

fanfiction is unfortunately a tough sell because I tend to not like how people write canons, but if by chance someone has any recs for Pokemon fanfic that is original character based, let me know! it's like the one media that works for me in fanfic land. (I know AO3 is currently out of commission though.)

I now have a Kobo Libra Color, and I've read a little on it, but I feel like I'm not quite "committing" if that makes sense? I don't sit down for an hour and read very easily, for example. I prefer the Kobo to physical books, mostly because I have nowhere to put physical books, and I would lose a library book.

I don't know if it's maybe cold feet or my attention span being poor?

what does everyone else do when they're struggling to read? have you experienced losing your reading "spark"?
