I don‘t get in reading slumps very often but here‘s what I do to jump the slump:
1️⃣ Changing to something light & low-stakes will usually get me moving through it. My top choices are cozy mysteries, cozy fantasy or thrillers.
2️⃣ Switching to a different format (print to audio or Kindle) or choosing a different genre of book from what I was reading mixes it up.
3️⃣ Changing location—reading outside or going to a coffeeshop can help.
I feel like I‘ve been through more book slumps than normal in the past year or two. I do two things.
1. I read the first paragraph of like 5 different books that appeal to me and see if any of them immediately suck me in.
2. Graphic novels or middle grade reads that I can read quickly usually help a lot. Finishing something helps me get my reading mojo back.

I usually go through a few slumps a year ranging from a week to a month. I'm still able to read it just takes me longer because I'm unable to focus as much or am less invested.
I find shorter bites like graphic novels and short story collections can be helpful. Something about finishing a story all in one go is satisfying. Fanfiction is another go-to, though I usually don't think of that as reading in the same way 😅

I knew I wouldn‘t have a high score with this one… I scored 13% and I didn‘t love any of the ones I have read!

pickWell. I wanted to read this after listening to Books Unbound, my favourite podcast. But it's only available in Canada. I'd asked a Canadian friend to purchase it but she wasn't able to get a second hand copy. Brilliant husband got it for my Christmas present 📦. Thrilled!
Odd story but so readable. I loved the gentle humour throughout and the way it's a novel about writing and effort and rewriting.
