Hi 🙋
I feel like I’ve slowly drifted into a reading slump and I really miss that cozy feeling of getting lost in a book. Lately, I pick something up, read a few pages, and just… don’t feel it.
I don’t want to force it, but I’d love to find my way back.
How do you usually get out of a reading slump in a gentle way? And is there a book that helped you fall in love with reading again?
Would really appreciate your tips 📚

I know it’s not for everyone but I find easing back into the habit with audiobooks while I’m doing other tasks works well
Could you elaborate on what you’re feeling? Is it that you get distracted, you’d rather be doing something more stimulating like watching TV, or something else?
In my opinion, there’s no particular book that can just get you out of a reading slump. What helped me get back into reading was identifying what the exact problem was and then going from there. More than happy to help or share my experience, depending on what you’re feeling!
I try an award-winner, like Mann Booker or Pulitzer.
switch genres (mystery vs romance vs [insert other genre here])
switch formats (physical vs ebook vs audio)
switch book formats (like, novel vs manga/comic/etc)
switch from fiction to nonfiction (and vice versa)
I do a guilty pleasure read which usually for me is action/adventure fiction
