Wow.. am I the only one with a huge tbr that does not feel pressured by it? and I still add books to it. I like to have loads of books on my shelves so I can choose what to read by my mood, and what I crave to read.. because I'm really moody.

Personally, whenever I'm in a reading slump, I try to embrace it! I know it sounds weird and counterintuitive, but when I get in a slump, it usually means that I have been pushing myself to read books that I didn't really feel like reading in the first place, so I try to stay away from books and booktube for a little while and try to explore other hobbies! I find that if I'm guilting myself for not reading, it usually makes things worse, so I just use the opportunity to do other things that I don't normally do. After a while, the need to read comes back. 😊
that's an intersting take, it would be nice to direct your free time into other hobbies so that even though you are reading less you are still productive. Sounds lovely, I think I might follow your example.
my go-to-thingy is making a huge cup of milk coffee, tunring off any media (laptop, tv, you tube, phone etc etc), lighten up some candles and just start. It´snot hard to "get out of a reading slump" it´s hard to "start reading" .. so to make it more comfortable with the "start" part :(
Do you want to do a readathon with me? I want someone to help me have some motivation and I think a readathon with someone would help. P.s. it might help with your slump maybe?
I'm on six and feeling a slump coming on. I usually have at least two books going at once because I'm a mood reader and like to hop between two compete,y different books depending on my mood or weather or time of day hahaa I'm weird, but six is too many! One of my New Years resolutions for 2019 is to try to read one book at a time, and if I'm not enjoying it to just dnf it.
I'm not really in a reading slump but just overwhelmed with all the books I wanna read. My tbr isn't even that big with around 50 books but my problem is that I wanna read new books but also wanna reread a lot of my favorites. So in a way I have one normal tbr and a second reread tbr. I also have the problem that if I don't read a book around the time that I got it, it's probably gonna sit on my tbr for a long time and to be honest it's rare that I pick up a book that's been sitting on my tbr for a year or longer.
Look out reading slump cause I'm gonna go reread some books 📚 Ps: Have no fear, Hailey is here should be your new intro. Lol Or you could say it when ur revising to strike fear into that first draft! Haha😂
Usually I end up in a slump because I both work and I'm a caretaker for a family member. So sometimes it's difficult for me to find the time or the energy to read. Normally I'll read a bit of manga and that breaks me of my slump.
Great tip! I'd like to add that when you're in a slump it's good to remember that reading isn't limited to books. Reading a quick article or blog post can help get you back in the reading mode and remind you of why you even like the act of reading.
Another tip I have to add is to stop what you are reading if you are starting to feel burnt out and pick up a short book. I read a lot of children's books, particularly short children's classics. They are easy and fun reads that I can read through quick. Sometimes I just need the satisfaction of completing a book, any book, to help me finish a big book I'm reading. I'm also pro DNFing! Life is too short to read books you aren't enjoying. I'm in the middle of six books right now! Definitely feeling a slump coming on! Two are rereads, one of the rereads is for my own reading group, but I'm thinking of stopping those ones. A lot of the books I'm reading right now are big, also. I usually like to read at least two books at a time, because as a mood reader I may not be in the mood for a sad book on a sunny day for example, so I like to jump between a couple of different ones and usually that helps me read more because I never stop reading when I'm not feeling something. But six is too many. Why do I do this to myself?! Hahahha I may take a break from everything I'm reading and pick up something totally new on my shelves. Genre change would probably help me right now.
Personally whenever I hit a reading slump, I go to my tbr on goodreads and sort the books by page count, and start reading from the lowest until I feel my passion reignited. Always works for me, and I feel the accomplishment from finishing a lot of books in a short period (although they are quite short), to anyone reading this, give it a try it might help you out.
I've never watched any of your videos before and I'm only a minute into this one but I love your energy! You have a really nice aura and i'm already subbing
Setting daily page goals is SO helpful for me! Especially because you can split it up throughout the day :) Before you know it, you’ll be surpassing that goal because you get into the story !
You’re really pretty. I’m new to your channel but i just subscribed. Thanks for the tips. My problem isn’t that I’m not reading in general, it’s that I have trouble balancing reading fanfics of books I’ve already read and real books that i haven’t. I don’t wanna give up fanfiction completely at least not for my most major fandoms, but at the same time I have so many real books i need to read!
This helps me very much!! I’ve been in a severe reading slump these Covid days!! Hopefully I’ll be reading much much more in 2021!!📚📚📚🎊🎊

i often get to a reading slump because i have so many books on my TBR (books i want to read really soon) and i realize that i can’t finish them all this season or even in my whole life. that also really scares me.
“so they will not be making a cameo” *life has left the chat* “they got rid of the library” *squirms in pain* *plans funeral* *dies* *unleashes hell on that school*
I hit page 250 for Six of Crows and now I have put it aside for a while because I just wasn't feeling it. I also reread The Philosopher's Stone but it didn't feel quite the same this time (fourth time rereading). I feel a minor slump on me because school has started again and I have already read so many books this year. I have reached the minimum goal of the books I wanna read this year.
I've been in a reading slump since school started, but i started rereading tfios and it almost cured it...but then i got to THAT part and so i can't read it anywhere except my room so i don't cry in public
This is why I don’t buy books until AFTER I read them and am planning on rereading sometime. I feel like it’s much less intimidating for me if my TBR is just a list of series and then I check out the series that I’m most interested in at the library, and that just works for me.
Ok so I don’t usually write comments on YT (It’s bad .I know. I should work on it) but your video kind of invited me to share my point of view on this particular subject . Prepare yourself for a long ass essay :D I love reading . I always had since I was very young. And the slump is basically my biggest enemy. I always feel guilty when I see my half-started books waiting on my shelf to be picked up. I’m not a booktuber like you Hailey. I don’t have the pressure to upload videos periodically or read a certain quota of books at a short period of time. I can’t imagine how stressful it must be especially if you’re on a reading slump. No, the only reading pressure I have is the one I create and put myself on my own shoulders, because like you said there are so many books out here , so many that are released every month that I want to try and jump into. What bothered me the most until recently is the fact that I didn’t understand why there were periods where I can read one book a week or in one sitting and on the opposite, periods where I painfully manage to finish a book in like 3 or 4 months. Your tips are very good and realistic but they remain advices that don’t apply to everyone. To fight the slump I picked the problem from the other end, or more specifically from its origin. What CAUSES exactly the slump to a reader X or Y ? Aaaand there goes the personal anecdote that's supposed to enlighten my theory : I’m soon to be graduated from medical school. I’ve spent the last decade studying and practicing what has now become my lifetime job. From 18 to 25, I learned the theory in the books. MEDICAL books. Almost 24/7. Leaving me no time at all or like no mood at all to read other books for « fun ». I dealt with depression. I wanted to give everything up and I was just disgusted by books in general . After that long period, I was finally a resident which meant , no more books and all-time practice at the hospital. Which also meant, no more exams. No more studying and more free time. I felt more alive, doing my job, learning on the field and far from the books. I was more confident in my own knowledge . Basically I was in a super mood and that’s when I reconciled myself with books and I finally re-discovered what it’s like to read only for enjoyment. That year I read 30 books which is INCREDIBLE to me. I was a resident during 3 years. I’ve had my highs and my lows too. Everything was not always beautiful (No job is actually). And thats’s when everything went crystal clear in my mind. I noticed that my dedication to reading was influenced by my actual mood. If I’m in a down period with stress at work , with personal stress, tiredness etc I won’t feel like reading or like 2 pages before it bothers me and on the opposite when everything goes well on a general level or on holidays , I only think about reading , reading, READING. The whole point of this story is that the slump doesn’t come from the books themselves. They come from us. We can take all the tips in the world, they won’t work if we don’t fix what causes the slump. I know what causes mine and I feel less guilty now. I’ve accepted that I will encounter a lot of slumps in the future . We can’t always reach the goals we set when we want , but that’s ok because it’s life. And sometimes it’s just a matter of time only before everything goes right again. The end. Thanks for coming to my TED talk . You’re brave if you read until the end ^^
I don't think I have ever been this early to a video before 😅 I'm hoping this will help me get out of my own slump. I'm in the phase where I pick up a book but don't finish it...
Do you want to do a readathon with me? I'm in a but of a slump too but I know a good readathon always helps. (I have a long weekend and nothing to do so it'd be nice)
I’m not in a slump (but i’m not reading a lot of books for my own enjoyment bc i have to read a lot for class ugj) but these tips are really good! I was in a slump for almost 2 years and bookstagram got me out of it, so maybe getting a hobby related to books is also a useful tip (like booktube, bookstagram, all that)
I don't so much have reading slumps, but I definitely have trouble balancing reading with my other big hobby which is knitting. There just aren't enough hours in the day!
I’ve been in a reading slump thanks to my depression and adhd ahhh god i hate it so many spooky books i wanna read rn but i just cant focus i keep re reading the same sentence or i just dont see a point UGH!
Really liked this video. I'm breaking out of one today haha, reading on my laptop kindle app now but too a break when your notification for this came on. I try to put a 20 minute timer on my phone and read, then check it to see if I at least get that 20 min ( usually i will read 3x that haha).
I loved this video!!! Your energy was so fun hehe. I recently got out of a slump and it was because of audiobooks and seeing how much you were enjoying them :))))
Audiobooks are awesome, but audible is so dang expensive! I wish more booktubers would recommend the library! I never knew until recently that most libraries have awesome online audiobook services (such as hoopla or libby) and oh my goodness it has been life changing! The library is a such a great resource when you're in a slump! Literally take out any book (or audiobook) that is remotely interesting, but then there's no worry if you don't finish it!
What do you do when a book causes your reading slump? Like when a book is too cliche or terrible that it makes you not want to pick up another book for fear that you won't want to finish the next book either?
I'll read 4 or 6 books at a time so long as the books are different enough. I'd liken it to multiple classes or school subjects. Currently, I have a chick-lit, an inspirational, a Shakespeare, a life skill (grieving), a biography, and a one to better myself.
Idk but I have like slumps for a couple of days is that a thing and I don't read and get sad because they come frequently so I can't read as much as I want to I only read one book at a time but I just take that one book every where and try to read at least 50 pgs a day because I go to school it is easier and then I'm at home in the same space so my book sees two places every day poor book it must get bored ok I need to stop I am rambling
Possible reason for watching this video #3: I love watching and supporting your videos. Wait, that’s not the possible reason, that’s the actual reason 😊😍
I tried picking several books to re-read, but I'm too anxious to lose myself in any of them, and these are some of my absolute favorites. For some reason I have this belief that if it hasn't been a whole year yet, then it's not time for a re-read, also I have this nagging feeling that "I could be finshing book/series X, trying out Y, etc" :( I don't know what to do..
ahah I'm curently reading 5 books XD But it's actually better then usual cause its 1 harry potter so I feel like that doesnt count, 1 ith multiple short stories so im technicly reading one 20pages story at a time, 1 book in french that I hate and I'm slowly reading since january for reasons and then 2 books I'm actually reading actively (1 physical and 1 audiobooks). I normaly read 5-7 actual books at the same time. But I'm trying to stop doing that haha.
So I started to read Harry Potter and I competed like first 3 books in like 15 days and now I am stuck on the 4th book for more than 2 weeks , I start and after I read 2 lines , I get bored!!! Btw thank you so much for the tips!!!
Ok so what I do if I own a book and I know I’m not going to be in to it or if I have multiple copies of one I SELL IT IN A YARDSALE Than I make money for books I actually will enjoy plus I have room on my shelf.
I’ve been in a reading slump for the past few years. I don’t know what the problem is, I like to read and I have MANY books I want to read...yet I can’t. 😕
The reason why I'm having a reading slump is that I'm currently reading 7 books from the heavy kind and they're all dystopians and I'm in the middle of all of them and I feel like I'm stuck
book: READ ME
netflix show: WATCH ME
food: EAT ME
me: I'm overwhelmed, so many responsibilities
Omg yess
Lol
Plz, i was eating spicy ramen and i choked reading this comment
The only reason I am currently in a reading slump is because I usually reach for my phone instead.
Shmu10 me too 😔
Shmu10 same. I end up watching TH-cam instead or something even though I really WANT myself to read
Same and bcos for me, its summer and i finished school sooo whoops
Ikr😭
I read fanfiction at home, the only time I’ll read physical books at home is when I’m grounded 😂
Am i the only one who just reads one book at a time?
I do because I read quite in depth books and it's just easier I mesn I could do more than one but it's easier to just focus on one plot line
I don’t read multiple books at the same time, I prefer to read one at a time so I connect more with characters and the plot.
@@melaniecastle3956 I the same
@@melaniecastle3956 Yeah I be doing that too!
I do too. Its easier for me, even on reading a series consecutively.
Wow.. am I the only one with a huge tbr that does not feel pressured by it? and I still add books to it. I like to have loads of books on my shelves so I can choose what to read by my mood, and what I crave to read.. because I'm really moody.

Me too!!
Same! But I can’t seem to find anything I feel like reading....
Mhm! It's like having a library. You pick based on what you feel.

Your tips are very good and realistic but they remain advices that don’t apply to everyone. To fight the slump I picked the problem from the other end, or more specifically from its origin. What CAUSES exactly the slump to a reader X or Y ?
Aaaand there goes the personal anecdote that's supposed to enlighten my theory :
I’m soon to be graduated from medical school. I’ve spent the last decade studying and practicing what has now become my lifetime job. From 18 to 25, I learned the theory in the books. MEDICAL books. Almost 24/7. Leaving me no time at all or like no mood at all to read other books for « fun ». I dealt with depression. I wanted to give everything up and I was just disgusted by books in general .
After that long period, I was finally a resident which meant , no more books and all-time practice at the hospital. Which also meant, no more exams. No more studying and more free time. I felt more alive, doing my job, learning on the field and far from the books. I was more confident in my own knowledge .

The whole point of this story is that the slump doesn’t come from the books themselves. They come from us. We can take all the tips in the world, they won’t work if we don’t fix what causes the slump. I know what causes mine and I feel less guilty now. I’ve accepted that I will encounter a lot of slumps in the future . We can’t always reach the goals we set when we want , but that’s ok because it’s life. And sometimes it’s just a matter of time only before everything goes right again.
The end.

I don't so much have reading slumps, but I definitely have trouble balancing reading with my other big hobby which is knitting. There just aren't enough hours in the day!
Audiobooks and knitting go together wonderfully :)
I’ve been in a reading slump thanks to my depression and adhd ahhh god i hate it so many spooky books i wanna read rn but i just cant focus i keep re reading the same sentence or i just dont see a point UGH!
Wow that long sleeve and make up combo looks bomb!
I like reading one book at a time.. I feel like you have time to understand and appreciate it better than if your reading multiple ones...
I actually came to this video because I watch every single one of your videos! But I also love your cats
I have kindle unlimited and now I find myself in a reading slump. It usually goes away after a couple of days.
Really liked this video. I'm breaking out of one today haha, reading on my laptop kindle app now but too a break when your notification for this came on. I try to put a 20 minute timer on my phone and read, then check it to see if I at least get that 20 min ( usually i will read 3x that haha).
i don’t know you but i like your vibe so thank you for popping up in my search! 😂❤️
I loved this video!!! Your energy was so fun hehe. I recently got out of a slump and it was because of audiobooks and seeing how much you were enjoying them :))))
Omg you just made me so happy with that intro please don’t ever stop making videos❤️😊
Audiobooks are awesome, but audible is so dang expensive! I wish more booktubers would recommend the library! I never knew until recently that most libraries have awesome online audiobook services (such as hoopla or libby) and oh my goodness it has been life changing! The library is a such a great resource when you're in a slump! Literally take out any book (or audiobook) that is remotely interesting, but then there's no worry if you don't finish it!
So I just got out of a reading slump 3 days ago and then when I got out of it I read 2 books in two days then I got back in one again.
What do you do when a book causes your reading slump? Like when a book is too cliche or terrible that it makes you not want to pick up another book for fear that you won't want to finish the next book either?
Thank you for posting this! I am in a really bad reading slump right now
I hope it ends for you soon!
Hailey in Bookland me too!
I have to say that the only things I really do are reading and watching your BLASTING channel. YES YOU ARE MIND BLOWING. ❤️❤️❤️YOU
I have been in a reading slump 3moths before quarantine and it is dreadful I want to get out of it
girl i adore you thank you so much
I'll read 4 or 6 books at a time so long as the books are different enough. I'd liken it to multiple classes or school subjects. Currently, I have a chick-lit, an inspirational, a Shakespeare, a life skill (grieving), a biography, and a one to better myself.
Idk but I have like slumps for a couple of days is that a thing and I don't read and get sad because they come frequently so I can't read as much as I want to
I only read one book at a time but I just take that one book every where and try to read at least 50 pgs a day because I go to school it is easier and then I'm at home in the same space so my book sees two places every day poor book it must get bored ok I need to stop I am rambling
Reason number 3. Just because Hailey posted ❤️
Possible reason for watching this video #3: I love watching and supporting your videos. Wait, that’s not the possible reason, that’s the actual reason 😊😍
Your camera quality and sound quality are amazing lol
Wow, the dark hair is so beautiful on you!! Giving me dark academia vibes
I tried picking several books to re-read, but I'm too anxious to lose myself in any of them, and these are some of my absolute favorites. For some reason I have this belief that if it hasn't been a whole year yet, then it's not time for a re-read, also I have this nagging feeling that "I could be finshing book/series X, trying out Y, etc"
:( I don't know what to do..
Ive been in a slump since like 2017. All my unread books are KILLING ME.
ahah I'm curently reading 5 books XD But it's actually better then usual cause its 1 harry potter so I feel like that doesnt count, 1 ith multiple short stories so im technicly reading one 20pages story at a time, 1 book in french that I hate and I'm slowly reading since january for reasons and then 2 books I'm actually reading actively (1 physical and 1 audiobooks). I normaly read 5-7 actual books at the same time. But I'm trying to stop doing that haha.
This is so me lol
I need to watch this video because I'm in a reading slump for almost a year now. :( I hope I'll get over it soon.
