I've hit a wall and I don't want to read ANYTHING

I've had such a good run - for well over a year I've read brilliant book after brilliant book with 3 or 4 good ones stacked up in the TBR pile. Suddenly I've hit a wall. I don't fancy anything. I'm comfort reading an old favourite for the 357th time. Sigh.

That’s ok isn’t it? I had this for two years. I massively increased my knitting and piano playing to compensate, and listened to lots of history podcasts. Now the urge to read has come back 🙂

Likewise, me too. I was reading 60 or 70 books a year, if not more. Last year, my reading slowed right down and now it's almost ground to a halt. It is making me frustrated and impatient with myself.
I'm knitting (as pp) and painting, but the inability to focus on words is strange.
My TBR pile is at well over 50 now, and I keep adding to it. I'm hoping that, as happened for @bge , the urge to lose myself in a good book will return, but just now it is quite unsettling for a lifelong bibliophile.
