Reading slumps are literally the worst thing you can go though (well not the worst). It’s a terrible feeling when you don’t have the energy to pick up a book you’re looking forward to but can’t really seem to enjoy at that moment. Here are some ways to get you out of that reading slump !
reading slump- what is that?
Reading slumps are when you’ve read a book so good nothing can top it and no other book interests you the same way. Or you read a book so bad you’ve given up on any book being good.
I’m just kidding those are some causes of reading slumps. But a reading slump is a period during which a person experiences a lack of interest or motivation to read.

Bing watching
Bing watching your favorite tv show or movies is one way to get you out of the reading slump. I’m not sure why this works but it does. I think it works because it’s giving your brain a breather from thinking but I don’t know the actual science behind it.
Exercise
Just going for a walk may also help break you out of that reading slump. Exercising itself helps with stress and boosts those “happy” hormone. This making you feel more relaxed and eager for a new adventure.
Change reading formats
This one has helped a lot during my own reading slumps. Sometimes you may get tired of reading words on a page because maybe the words or font is not to your liking. Changing it up to an e reader or audiobook would help with that.
When I’m tired of reading a physical book that’s kind of dampening my mood and experience with the book because the words are so tiny, I’ll switch to my kindle. It’s so much easier and convenient. Being comfortable while reading is important as it keeps you engaged and immersed in the story.
Try something new
You may get bored with the genre your currently reading say for instance fantasy. Maybe you need a palate cleanser and just need to read a fluffy romance or short mystery. Just give your brain time to stop straining.
Take a break
Maybe you need just come back to the real world for a few days and take a break. Take a break from reading for a few days and come back to it.
