Nici Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Now I reckon that would work! You gotta love Raven! Quote
Guest Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 If I ever lose my mojo, someone better check my pulse and make sure I'm not a corpse! Quote
Guest ii Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 .. and finish the job, if needed? (said with all the love and adoration, of course!) Quote
Guest ii Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 To get back to the topic (now that I made prospero grumble, always fun), I was a tad lost on my reading, but switching languages really helped. So now I'm back, reading again! Yay! Quote
Icecream Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Now I reckon that would work! You gotta love Raven! Very true Nici. I hardly read anything over the winter. I just couldn't get into anything (though I too was reading my magazines and the bible too). Raven Hart seems to have got me out of it, as I knew she would. Question is, where do I go next? On second thoughts, I have joined a book ring on here I am rather looking forward too. Quote
happyanddandy Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Everytime i try to read my mind wanders off. Is there a book you would recommend to get me back in to reading?? Your mind will not wander with Tess Gerritsen. I couldn't put The Surgeon down apart from to have a rest from the horrifying bits . If you like that sort of thing. Quote
Nici Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Woo hoo my mojo is coming back! I have read 50 pages so far today. Thank goodness for that....... Quote
Michelle Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Is this still The Memory Keeper's Daughter? It's had mixed reviews, but I really liked it. Quote
Nici Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Yes it is Michelle. I am about half way through it and finding it very good, I am experiencing lots of different emotions reading it and looking forward to seeing how it ends. Quote
Amanda Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Usually if I loose my reading mojo, it due to the fact that I am stuck in a book that I no longer want to read. Usually if I put the book down and read something else, I can get back my mojo and usually pick the old book up later on to finish it. Quote
nursenblack Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Usually if I loose my reading mojo, it due to the fact that I am stuck in a book that I no longer want to read. That happens to me as well. There is nothing that makes me loose my mojo more than trying to get through a boring or disappointing book. Quote
Michelle Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Ok, who's stolen mine?! I have had such a good reading year so far, but now suddenly nothing is able to hold my interest! There's a lot going on here, and I want to disappear into a good book, but nothing's working. Quote
Kate Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Usually if I loose my reading mojo, it due to the fact that I am stuck in a book that I no longer want to read. Yeah I suffer with this problem. Unlike you though, I don't bother picking the book back up again for fear I'll lose my reading mojo again. Ok, who's stolen mine?! I have had such a good reading year so far, but now suddenly nothing is able to hold my interest! There's a lot going on here, and I want to disappear into a good book, but nothing's working. What books have you tried? Maybe reading some short stories will bring it back? Everytime i try to read my mind wanders off. I hate it when that happens. Have you found a good book? I hate it when I can't pick a book to read, when my TBR pile is huge but nothing jumps out at me Quote
Nici Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Ok, who's stolen mine?! I have had such a good reading year so far, but now suddenly nothing is able to hold my interest! There's a lot going on here, and I want to disappear into a good book, but nothing's working. Sounds like you need a new Raven book now. Hope you get your mojo back soon...... Quote
The Library Nook Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 In the past few years I have lost my reading mojo a lot, usually because I feel so tired or I feel guilty and think I should be working instead on lesson plans or marking. However I realised that I had to have a work/ life balance and since starting at my new school I have got better at enjoying a good book thus I haven't lost my mojo for a while lol! However it is frustrating when it happens, especially when you have shelves of books to choose from and nothing you fancy. Quote
Michelle Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Kate, I have a book of short stories that I'm trying to review.. and it's not helped. I keep looking at all the books I have, and nothing appeals. Then, when I do try one, I read a couple of pages, sigh, and put it down. The only book I was enjoying, A Small Part of History.. I left at work, and won't get back until Monday!! Quote
Kylie Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Oh dear, I hope you get your mojo back soon, Michelle! Maybe you just need a little break from reading (was that blasphemous?). My mojo has been on the blink for a few weeks while I've been struggling with The Jungle Book. Now that I've finally finished I'm hoping it'll pick up again with my next read, although I'm a bit worried that this struggling will persist with my next read and maybe ruin the book for me when I would otherwise enjoy it. I might go for a Roald Dahl and see how things go from there. I agree with Nici: maybe a re-read of a Raven Hart would help? Quote
kitty_kitty Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Right i lost my reading mojo and foung my knitting mojo, lost my knitting mojo and found my redaing mojo. Now i just have to find a happy medium of them both!!! To be honest now if i struggle with book and am not enjoying i either stop reading it and leave it or come back to it later. So many books to enjoy so why carry on reading books i am not enjoying Quote
Angel Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Kitty - do as I do - read and knit at the same time. The rows, pattern and pages will fly by! Quote
Loopyloo100 Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 I have tried knitting on numerous occasion, but think I'm strange as my hands become incredibly uncomfortable and I then start becoming annoyed and fingers become achey and so on.............. I'm not sure why it has such a bad affect on me. Even though I don't get through masses of books, I have been steady in my reading since the beginning of the year. A good sign, as when I stop reading it's usually because there's too much in life (not the nice stuff!) going on. Quote
Icecream Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Kitty - do as I do - read and knit at the same time. The rows, pattern and pages will fly by! How on earth do you do that? Or are you talking about audio books? Quote
Loopyloo100 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 My reading mojo has disappeared since Saturday and I'm not sure why - I'm enjoying the book I'm reading, but have been finding it difficult to concentrate. I thought I'd try an audio book when I'm travelling to and from work and I have been listening to Ken Follet's: Pillar of the Earth. I have actually been able to concentrate on that more and have really been getting into the story. I don't know how many hours I have yet to listen to though - probably about 38! Quote
Angel Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 How on earth do you do that? Or are you talking about audio books? No, I mean the written book. I've been knitting since I was 7 yrs old and I used to do home work for a London based company. I find it really easy to do both - I always have. It really does pass the time, rows and pages! Quote
Icecream Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 It sounds very difficult, but if you enjoy it.. Quote
