My Tips For Getting Out of a Reading Slump

Getting Out of a Reading Slump

Hey everyone so today i'm here with a few tips to get yourself out of that reading slump and back into reading.

1. Go to the local library or book shop and spend some time looking at books, have a good look at a variety of genres and see what might suit you best, for me to get back into reading i'd choose something Romantic and light-hearted rather than attempting to read something really daunting that would require a lot of effort.

2. Have a read of the first chapter of a few books on your shelf and then decide which one is the most appealing, this way it makes it easier to choose a book that you will definitely enjoy.

3. Choose something that starts quickly, there is no point throwing yourself in at the deep end  and taking more than 100 pages to get into the book, choose something that appeals to you after the first chapter and makes you want to keep reading.

4. Go onto websites like Goodreads and find other books like ones that you have read and that you think you might enjoy. This also gives you the opportunity to read any reviews although be careful that they do not contain spoilers because I have ruined a book for myself in the past by reading spoilers on websites.

5. Search youtubers and see what they are reading, often you will find that they will do spoiler free book reviews which is always handy because you don't ruin the book for yourself but get a really personal opinion about the book that you want to read.

6. Audiobooks may also be a good idea because these make you feel like you are reading even when you are not actually reading. This allows you to relax and read a book while not having to worry about having lights on, being outside, wearing sunglasses to avoid glare plus it's like a bed time story. I like to listen to The White Queen by Phillipa Gregory before I go to sleep.

Anyway, I hope these tips allowed you to get out of that reading slump and back into the world of books.
