What do I do if I’m in a reading slump!!! I’m stuck and I am in the mood to read but can’t get into any books!

[Elvalie]

Any recommendations??

audio books, reread a book you loved, or a really short book

Thank you!

I also recommend using the pomodoro technique, which is where you set a timer for 25 minutes and read (or do whatever it is you’re struggling to have motivation to do) and then after every 25 minutes take a five minute break. After every 4 25 minute sessions, take a 30 minute break and repeat! Obviously all of these times can be adjusted to whatever works for you! The other day I tried this to try and help get out of my reading slump, and so far it’s really helped, but instead of 25 minute sessions I did 15 minute ones, just because I knew I wouldn’t be able to focus completely for 25 minutes, not yet at least. There’s also a free app specifically for this technique that for me made it easier and more motivating, and it’s called Flow.

Thank you so much.!

It asked for a rec but I don’t know if you’re 18+ or not so there is a cute little feel good YA series I just started called The Imerie Clan part of the Daughter of Dragons series… it’s about a girl raised by dragons in a quest to find stolen dragon eggs. Pretty good so far!

I like to vary my genres book to book. I find that having a lot of books on waiting lists at the library (ebooks & audio books) drives me to finish and move on to the next available rather than get in a rut. Explore some lists!

Based on your reads, I think you might like:

The Husbands - The Husbands by Holly Gramazio (not a series)
The Finlay Donovan series by Elle Cosimano
The Midsolar Murders series by Mur Lafferty
The Inheritance Games series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
The Mirror Visitor Quartet (series) by Christelle Dabos
The Lunar Chronicles (series) by Marissa Meyer

Go back and reread your favorite book! Or look up your favorites on this app to see the recommendations. It's really a great place to start. I can't recommend any books without knowing what you like?
