So... does anyone have any advice on how to get out of a reading slump which occurs at the most terrible time? While I was finishing up my bachelor's I wanted nothing more than to pick up a book and read for hours. But now that I am free it is impossible to get myself to read. But I finally have the time to read and I have some precious books I wanna start, but first read the 4-5 I am currently reading. Send help! :)

Rereading one of your faves always helps for me. Or reading a fast-paced book helps.

Second rereading a fave. I've also just decided to wholeheartedly embrace being a mood-reader. Rather than forcing myself to read what I think I *ought* to be reading, I'll just read whatever I'm vibing with. Right now I'm on a Harlequin/medieval/rake bender and it's everything.For a while I kind of got caught up in reviewing what was popular and that ended up being a no. And then I went on a very dark romance binge, which ended up depressing me.
So you just gotta do what you feel!

I'll give your advice a try to reread a book and focus on what I vibe with. Thank youu! <3

I agree - re-reading favorites or maybe try audiobooks - I find I can make it through books I would have given up on with audiobooks while cleaning, walking, etc.
Oohs audiobooks, I have honestly never tried that before! I will be sure to give it a go, thank you!!✨
