    ways i get out of my book slumps:
    1) not forcing myself to read
    2) watching a movie/show of someone who loves reading (this might motivate me)
    examples: Little Women, Beauty & the Beast, Pride & Prejudice
    3) rereading a favorite

  • @vannahsavable
    @vannahsavable ปีที่แล้ว +62

    I hadn’t read all of march and april and I felt like such a failure. Every new book I picked up i couldn’t get into. I decided I would reread the throne of glass series. At first I didn’t think that would help because it felt like I was still failing since it wasn’t something new. But now I’m back into reading and it’s been so many years since I read them, so it feels new again. So happy you shared the transparent moments of being in a book slump bc it’s something we all go through

    What you were saying around 34:50 I relate to 100%! I read A Little Life (took me 2 months lmao) but I gave it a 5 star rating and then I literally couldn’t read any book because my mind would drift to Jude and Willem. It took me 2 weeks to pick up another book and even now I feel like I should reread that book because my rating of it wasn’t fair considering I was subconsciously comparing it and my mind kept drifting to A Little Life

    I no longer read as much as you normally do, but I do find when I'm not really in the mood for anything or I'm feeling slow but want to read I'll go to Kindle unlimited and I'll find a Dean Koontz series. They're usually like 40-90 pages so I can see my book number go up even if I'm only reading a few minutes at a time, seeing my book number go up helps encourage me to wait to read a longer book that I had been dreading BC of length. I know Dean Koontz isn't for everyone but his short stories/series pick up fast unlike in a full length novel where you get a ton of backstory and character building. Definitely try looking for a mini-series! It's awesome to read like 8 books in 7 days even if your page numbers are low! 💞

  • @Madiie412
    @Madiie412 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I read the the summer I turned pretty trilogy and then just stoped wanting to read. Me and my Friend went to barns and found like 7 books that I thought would get me out of this slump of this not wanting to read/no book being able to keep my attention. None of them worked. Then I read “the fault in our stars” by John green, it no doubt was a 5 star read. After the first like 3% of the book it gets really good and just keeps you entertained. It’s a 14-17 year like age rating but I would personally say a mature 12 year old could read it. I read it when I was 12 and I mean there’s spice in it so I can see why it’s rated what it is but it has SUCH a good message and plot to it.

    You should take a week long detox from reading books. Might help reverse psychology yourself into reading books if you’re like “nope not allowed to read even though I might want to”
    But other than that, my failsafe way to get out of a book slump is to reread an all time favorite book or series. Then BAM! I’m so invested into the retelling of characters I already know and love and I’m back into reading. Sometimes it might take several favorite reads to want to read something new though. Same kind of thing with new tv shows yakno? Like series where I already know all the plot twists are so comforting.
