when people say a book put them in a slump do they mean it as 'this book was so good it put me in a slump' or 'this book was so bad it put me in a slump'? or can it mean both?

For me it's usually because the book was terrible, But it could also be because the book was amazing.
When I am in a slump it’s because I just read a great book and another book is too difficult to get into
It goes either way for me. Either the book I just finished was so good that nothing compares and makes me want to not pick up another book. OR the books was so bad that I'm afraid to pick up another one out of fear that I will be disappointed again.
I use it in both ways, in general it's just like I can't get myself to pick up another book after this book. I honestly get into book slumps more often from books that were really great bc i'm unable to get invested in another book since it's usually not as amazing as the one I just finished
Can def be both, but I’d say typically it’s like “this book wasn’t my cup of tea, which made it difficult to get through, and put me in a slump”Well at least that’s how I use it 😂
I personally use it to signal that I have read an amazing book and can't pick another. I pick up a book so fast if I've read a bad book to forget it.
