Hey fellow readers! So seeing as I've been in a bit of an off-and-on reading slump for the past couple of months, I decided that I'll give you a few tips to help you all get out of a slump when you find yourselves in one. Without further preamble, here are five tips to out of a reading slump.
1. Do Something Else: Sometimes after a really good/emotional/powerful book, it's easy to fall into a reading slump. Doing something else- whether it be playing video games or watching t.v.- can be a worthwhile break from reading. A break from reading can sometimes help to reignite the passion to read.
2. Get a Change of Scenery: Reading in the same spot all the time can cause a reading slump. So go find a new spot to read! Be it in the kitchen, the living room, or outside. Reading in a different place can be very beneficial to keep from falling into a slump.
3. Find a New Genre to Read: When reading the same genre over and over again, it causes a reading slump due to reading the same genre tropes over and over again. Finding a new genre helps to get out of a slump since it's something new and different. Like fantasy? Try a lighthearted contemporary. Historical fiction? Try an out-of-this world science fiction. Reading a new genre combats falling into a slump.
4. Watch BookTube Videos: Watching BookTube videos can be totally beneficial when in a slump. Watching others who are just as enthusiastic about reading as you can help you to get back into reading. Watching BookTubers like Christine (polandbananasbooks), Emma (emmmabooks), Kat (katytastic), Jesse (jessethereader), and so many others can help you find a new book to read to get out of the slump. It might also make you consider making your own booktube channel.
5. Reread Your Favorite Book(s): Possibly the best way to get out of a reading slump! Rereading your favorite book(s) can help you remember the joys of reading by bringing up all the feelings you had the first time you read it/them. Rereading also comes in handy especially when your waiting for the next installment of your favorite series.
And there you have it. These tips have actually helped me a time or two, so they should help you as well. Let me know what are some other tricks to beating a reading slump. Until next time my fellow book junkies!
