Hey internet, it's aliceinbookland back with not a book review but something that most readers will probably be able to relate to. So to do something different for a change, I decided to do a "How To Break Out Of A Reading Slump" post. I know I've said this before but I hate...let me repeat HATE READING SLUMPS!!!!!!!!Because of my absolute hatred for reading slumps.. I put together a few ways to help you get rid of them. These are what I do when I have a reading slump. ENJOY!!! 1. Give it some time. For me this is personally really hard because you just really want to continue reading a fantastic book but you just can't! No matter how quiet it is or how perfect the conditions are, it never seems to work. But trust me, forcing yourself won't help and it will just ruin a perfectly good book. It will make the book confusing and when you come back to it after forcing yourself through it.. you'll get that sort of feeling that the book wasn't good (because of the book slump) and it will give you a bad first impression. So go on youtube, hang out with you friends and when your ready the craving of wanting to read books will come back soon enough. 2. Read one of your all time favourite books Pick out one of your most tattered and loved books from your bookshelf, whether its a story book or a classic Roald Dahl, go ahead and read it! Reading easy/fast books alway helps me break out of reading slumps. And it also brings back the old memories and I guarantee you will laugh at yourself for adoring these simple and basic books. Rainbow Magic, Go Girl, Enid Blyton and not forgetting Geronimo Stilton were always a winner for me. Comment if you recognise or liked any of these books. :) 3. Go on to the internet Browse the internet and reach out to your fellow book lovers and reading slump survivors. Connect through social media to talk about your favourite books and just have a great discussion. One thing I like to do is go on Youtube and look through book tuber's book reviews, TBR lists and wrap-ups. Also I suggest (if you are having a book slump or just want to have a bit of a laugh) heading over to "Epic Reads" on Youtube and looking through their "Book Nerd Problems" which I absolutely love and can relate to so easily. That is it! I hope this gave you some ideas as to what to do when the reading slump kicks in and helps you tackle them as easily as how Celaena can kill someone... (raise your hand if you know who I'm talking about.. hehe)Also if you have any tips for breaking out of a book slump, please let me know as I definitely need more tips! Just a pointer as well please keep in mind that I did not intentionally try to copy someone else's ideas. Thank you for reading this post and I hope to see you soon! coming out of bookland, alice xx Places I go to when in a reading slump:
