Blast cheesy 80s music, dance and sing into my hair brush ! Edit : I didn't notice the word " reading " in your question ... I don't know then :)
What do you do to get out of a reading slump?
Any slump that I get into is solved with alcohol.
I believe it was last week when I asked this group what they were reading so now I have a ton of new books to hunt down and read. I put the link down below so you can check out the answers I got.
Reading slumps are the worst. Sometimes, it seems like you just can't shake the lack of motivation to read, even if you're a lifelong book-lover who dreams of owning the beast's library from Beauty and the Beast.
Reorganize your shelves
Perhaps you have your TBR (to be read) shelf immaculately organized or maybe you have books everywhere from the basement to the attic, either way, taking a look at the books in your own possession can help break a slump. Flip through your titles, set them in order, and you might just find a volume that sounds so excellent you have to stop what you’re doing and read.
Switch genresMaybe this means returning to your favorite genre for solace or perhaps it means breaking free of your beloved genre for a taste of something new. When reading grows tiresome, a switch in theme and style can be the exact palate cleanser you need to get back in the groove.
Personaly, I try to rest for a while, and then chug away at checking out new books. Mostly I skim their book descriptions. I look for words like action-packed or page-turner so that I know they will hold my interest. The Hunger Games is famous for such intentions. :)
Here is an example of a book description that might grab my attention in a book slump:
"You better watch your back, because we're watching
you."
