Readers Block

I know that writer's block is a thing, but I think reader's block is as well. I was a reading machine at the beginning of the school year reading more books in a semester than I have probably ever during the school year.

I read:
  1. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
  2. Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman
  3. Restart by Gordon Korman
  4. Projekt 1065 by Alan Gratz
  5. OCDaniel by Wesley King
  6. The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynne Reid Banks
  7. The Name of This Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch
  8. Save Me a Seat by Sarah Weeks and Gita Varadarajan
  9. Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan
  10. Pickle by Kim Baker
  11. A Series of Unfortunate Events the Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
  12. The Gallery by Laura Marx Fitzgerald
  13. Spy School by Stuart Gibbs
  14. Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller
  15. Notice and Note by Kylene Beers
  16. All American Boys by Jason Reynolds
  17. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
I was on a roll. 

I cannot keep my interest in a book right now. It's been almost two months since I've completed a book. I've started and stopped: Prince Caspian, Parker Inheritance, and Fuzzy Mud. I'm attempting to read the first book in the Princess Diaries series. 

I am sad that I am having this much trouble sticking with a book to completion. I want to set a good example for my students and keep reading and finishing books, but I am struggling right now. I think the problem was that I read the Jason Reynolds and Angie Thomas books after each other and they were so amazing that I'm having trouble with books that aren't hitting me in that same way. What do you do when you have reader's block?
