Reading Blahs

Hey, all!

I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I'm in a bit of a reading funk .

Every romance book I picked up within the last two weeks, I've struggled to finish. I have NO idea why. There was nothing wrong with the writing.
But I just didn't see any spark with the characters, which makes me believe I'm a little burned out on romance.

I even picked up a book from one of my favorite authors and I actually did something I don't think I've ever done with her. About halfway through the book, I put it down for a few days. And never thought twice about it. YES! I actually walked away from a book!

I thought maybe I needed to change my reading genre, so to cleanse the pallet, I decided to read non fiction and picked up Karen Walker's memoir Following the Whispers .
(PS I really enjoyed reading her story)

Then I thought I was ready to dive back into romance again.

WRONGO.

I can't believe I'm going to say this but I think I need a longer break from reading romance.

So, my dear friends, I need help with some book recommendations.

What is the BEST...non fiction, mystery, YA, women's fiction, thriller, OR literary fiction book you've read within the last few months? Anything BUT romance.

I need serious help, so pull out the big guns. :-)
