The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews asks that you share your link on their weekly post on their website (it will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated.
Here we are back on Wednesday. How is your week going? We are enjoying some family time in between appointments.
This week's topic for the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is "What I Read When I'm Not Feeling Well." For me, it all depends on why I am not feeling well.
If I am physically sick, I usually plow through with my normal reading and reviewing schedule. If a headache is involved, I will likely grab something from my personal collection so I don't need to pay as much attention or plan to review it. If, however, I'm down, I'm exhausted, or I'm just done with life, that's a different story. Typically, I reach for Scripture or a devotional. I will sometimes focus on personal or professional development during these times.
How about you? What do you read when you're not feeling well?

You're right it really does depend on how sick you are. And headaches make it incredibly difficult to concentrate.
You're right, it does very much depend on what's happening and why you're stuck on reading. Great post!
Yes, I frequently find myself comfort-reading when I'm not feeling well emotionally, rather than physically. When I'm not feeling well physically, it's going to depend a lot on what specific malady has latched onto me.
There are sadly many different ways to be sick!
Totally, George. Before COVID, I got hit with the flu. I wasn't doing anything for days. Thanks for visiting.
Thanks, M. Glad you liked it. Appreciate the visit.
Makes sense, Michael. Thanks for the visit.
That's the truth, Lydia. Thanks for stopping by.
Much like you, what (and if) I read can depend on why I am not feeling well. There are times when I am so sick I cannot do much reading beyond a chapter here or there or maybe not at all. So short reads might be best. And other times my reading is not at all impacted. If my not feeling well is more related to my mental state, the genre or type of books I pick up matter more, I think. Light with a HEA ending is good for when I'm feeling down or need a pick me up, but when I'm especially overwhelmed and can't calm my brain, I need something that will completely sweep me off my feet and keep me engaged and out of my own head.
