Ugh! Reading slumps! We all have them. Sometimes you just need a break so don't stress about it. I have found that re-reading an old favorite or reading the next book in a favorite series can help.

I always have to read something with just a nice storyline and an easy read when I’m in a slump. It’s the process of finishing something I think that helps me get out of a slump because when I’m all slumpy, I just pick up and set down books like crazy!!!

I was in a terrible reading slump at the beginning of this month! I had a great suspense filled October reading so maybe that was why?? I wanted to read some more books on my TBR and was a bit overwhelmed as books I requested from the library started coming in but yet some reason I could not get into them. Finally I started some on audiobook and it helped me get over the reading slump!! I think being that we only have a few weeks left of the year is when I put pressure on myself to read and finish my TBR list and then it just makes reading a chore and it’s like I stress over it, haha. So silly right! Hope you found some books this month that you’re excited about!!

Ugh reading slumps suck! I always try to read a graphic novel or something light and quick to get me back into reading again. I’m having a slow month myself, not exactly slumping but just reading at a waaaay slower pace than normal. It happens! 🤷‍♀️

When I'm in a reading slump I read magazines...People, In Touch, etc. For whatever reason, it seems to help. I placed 'The Lost Girls of Paris' on my Amazon Wish List. It sounds like a great story.

I’ve been in slump for a year or more. Everything I read in the slump felt the same. So I started reading the classics and it’s helped. Now I’m reading a little more (not a lot but I have picked up).

I got stuck on the same 2 slow moving books for WEEKS. I finally decided to just let those be slow burns and start some shorter, faster-paced reads. And I read 3 books in one week as a result and finished one of the slow moving books (I'm still reading the other one and probably won't finish it for another month).

Hi Lindsey, here I am a severe book geek thinking I’m the only one who suffered a severe reading slump for about 6 months 😫😫. I feel better knowing a lot of book lovers go through this bad feeling. I guess because I’m in the process of making a big move to Arizona.🌵🌵. I got out of it by going to the library 📚 and getting a big stack of books 📚 I can’t wait to read, and also going to a book store (Half Price Books) here in Cleveland. I have a niece that’s a huge book geek too, and she told me I can also use Audiobooks something a little different. I would start with short stories and smaller books. Let me know if this helps. 🌺🌺. Good luck!!!🍀

Omg I’m so jealous that you got to meet Jodi picoult and five times!!!! I met elin hilderbrand who was super nice!

I usually read short stories or magazine articles to get me out of slumps. I went through a whole year of reading them and I finally got of the slump and read the entire Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

Read shelter in place and how to walk away. Both are good reads and it will help your slump😊

[sharona]

When I'm in a reading slump, I like to pick an old favorite, preferably one that isn't too long, and reread it. I also will read a coupke of magazine articles, or something out of Reader"s Digest, it's short enough to usually get me wanting to read something more. When you do get around to it, let us know how you like Shelter In Place by NR, she's one of my very favorite authors. Take care!😊

I feel your pain. I have been working on the same book for two weeks.

[monilily]

I usually pick up a graphic novel when I'm in a reading slump.

[adriennegarcia]

When I'm in a reading slump I grab different short story anthologies and read a story out of each of them and usually a trip to the bookstore pulls me out🙄

[juanameraz]

You should read shelter in place. I loved it. As for slumps, I try to read something I know I would like. Or my favorite genre.

[Greeneyedgirl]

I’m in a huge slump this month too after I killed it sept & oct 🤦🏻‍♀️

[terriw]

I've been in a bit of a slump for a while. Struggling through Unbroken, which is a fantastic book but I just have not been in the mood to read. Hopefully we will both conquer the slump soon! In the meantime I'm binging Hallmark Christmas movies.

Children's illustrated books and middle grade help me stop being slumpy.x

[haleysmith]

To help me get out of a slump I usually pick up one of my favorite books and re-read it.
