♡ GET OUT OF A READING SLUMP ♡
Category: Books // Reading // Lifestyle
We've all been there. You have a whole TBR waiting for you, but somehow you can't bring yourself to read any of it. Instead you end up doomscrolling again.
A reading slump doesn't mean you've stopped loving books. Sometimes you just need to make reading feel fun again instead of turning it into something you have to finish.
♡ TIPS
01.
reread an old favorite
Sometimes the easiest way back into reading is a book
you already know you love.
Pick up an old favorite, a childhood book, or something you've read so many times that you already know the characters by heart.
02.
choose something short
You don't have to start with a 500-page fantasy novel.
Try a novella, short story collection, graphic novel, manga, or even a quick thriller. Finishing something small can help bring back that feeling of wanting to read again.
03.
change the genre
If you've been reading the same type of book over and over,
switch things up.
Reading romance? Try horror. Reading fantasy? Pick up a mystery. Reading thrillers? Try something cozy.
Sometimes your brain just needs something different.
04.
revisit your childhood
Pick up a book you loved when you were younger.
Goosebumps, Harry Potter, Nancy Drew, Percy Jackson, childhood favorites, old series — anything that makes your reading feel nostalgic.
05.
stop forcing the book
If you're 100 pages in and still aren't enjoying it,
you don't have to force yourself to finish.
Put it down. Try something else. You can always come back later. Or you can DNF it.
06.
make a reading mood
Turn reading into an experience.
Make a drink, light a candle, put your phone away, get cozy, play quiet background music or ambiance, or find a cute reading spot.
Romanticizing the little things can make picking up your book feel exciting again.
07.
try an audiobook
Reading doesn't always have to mean sitting down with
a physical book.
Try listening to an audiobook while walking, cleaning, getting ready, or doing something relaxing.
♡ the 20-minute reading reset
Put your phone on Do Not Disturb, grab the book you're most
interested in, make your favorite drink, and read for just
20 minutes.
No page goal. No pressure. No worrying about how much you "should" be reading.
If you want to keep going after 20 minutes, keep reading. If you don't, that's okay too.
