We all read several books at once to avoid slumps but it can get difficult to avoid them at some times. (They are an unwelcome guest!) Here you can share all your tips to get out of a slump and hopefully it will help others!

I would really love to give some tips on this but fortunately I am yet to experience reading slump. But still, I can state some points which I am sure are common:-

1. Try to read a book of your favorite author/genre.
2. Try to read a book in a different atmosphere/setting, it might be a change what your mind needs.
3. I have usually heard that reading your fav book gets you out of slump but I believe it won't get me out of it because I can't really reread a book so I won't suggest it here, but ofc you can try that as it's a major opinion. Also, I have never been in reading slump so there's that....
4. Try to buddy read/discuss in group so while the reading journey, you are living in the book and maybe you'll be entertained and motivated to finish it and who knows, you end up liking the book a lot!

Yes, these are great tips! Thanks Rushali.

I’d also say to try audiobooks, they help me a lot.

I have never tried audiobooks....I should someday but idk I feel like reading improves my English and vocab and I am not sure if audiobooks do that plus sometimes with books heavy in meaning or writing style, I have to read a sentence more than 1 time to absorb the proper meaning of it and with audiobooks it might be tiresome to skip to those sentences again and again.... that's how I feel.

I can't listen to audio books in my native languages because I zone out immediately and begin daydreaming about something (I do this in college lectures too, it's a huge problem). But when I listen to audio books in French I absolutely have to concentrate in order to understand what they're saying.

Maybe you could try playing the audio and having the copy with you at the same time. That way you could focus more!

Yes, audiobooks do get difficult to manage sometimes! I mainly listen to fantasy through audiobooks

That's a good idea! I never even thought of that as an option. Thanks!

Glad I could help! That’s the reason I made this thread. :)

Set realistic goals for yourself. Don't plan a TBR. Choose one book that interests you and try to read a chapter a day. If the chapters are long, maybe aim for half a chapter a day. Just whatever you do don't push yourself too hard when you're in a reading slump because it'll backfire on you and make your slump last longer

I second this!

When I'm in a reading slump, I just read books, I've already read, that I really like
