i can't be interested in anything anymore, i haven't finished books since a while now and so my recommendations are not getting better, though i try and read but i only get interested in the book for a day only and then the next day i feel like it's a waste of my time, sorry i can't really help you on this since i'm in the same situation, i guess you just can try recommendations from goodreads and friends and try on different genres maybe...


I don't have any recommendations for you as taste in books is subjective, but I hope that you find something that you like soon. What I would suggest is that you give something a try that you wouldn't normally read as it's natural to stick within the bounds of what we're comfortable with. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find.
Good luck!



What genera of books are of interest to you?


Maybe try reading some novellas or short stories for awhile. They aren't as long and maybe it will get back in the mood to read.
Have you tried revisiting books you've already read and loved? When I get in that funk that's what I do and by the time I finish my favorite book or series I'm out of my funk and ready to find new treasures. Otherwise I've had luck just going to my local library/bookstore and browsing the shelves til I find something that catches my interest. Have you read Eragon by Christopher Paloini? Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling? Redwall by Brian Jacques? Tiger's Curse by Colleen Houck? Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke? Fablehaven by Brandon Mull? Hope you find something to help you with your funk.


I agree with those who suggested you try experimenting, either by reading in a genre you normally wouldn't or a different format like short stories. You might just need to take a break from reading though, there's no sense doing something if you aren't getting any enjoyment out of it.

I'm feeling the same way right now. I had a 4 book streak of great reads, and now... I have no idea what to read next.
Narrow it down by setting, then genre. Then, look for book rating on GoodReads or B&N-- or any website with feedback regarding the book you (May be) interested in.
I Just read one called "Easy" by Tammara Webber. I was surprised that it actually turned out being one of my favorite books yet! Once you read one, you'll look for another-- and another. lol Good luck!
