Hey everyone!! I’m back with a new post! I haven’t posted in several months.
I’m happy to say that my long reading slump is finally over!! I’ve been in the worst reading slump this year, and it’s been very bad the past several months. I’ve been feeling very down because I wasn’t enjoying any books anymore. I figured out what the problem was! I was just reading a lot of bad books! That really put me in a slump, and made me question everything as a reader. I just have really bad luck with books this year.
I read some good books in the beginning of the year, but the second half of 2025, has been rough. Most books I DNF’d. I debated taking a break from reading, and thought that I was burned out, especially since reading is my job. That wasn’t the case. So, you’re probably wondering how I got out of it, right?
It was the most obvious thing ever! I randomly decided to reread an old favorite series from my childhood. I used to be a big rereader when I was a kid. That was before my TBR got huge, and out of hand. I never allowed myself to reread all these past 5+ years, because of that. Since I got rid of most of my physical TBR, I’m now allowed to reread books again. I honestly wish I let myself reread books again sooner. Especially, last year. Everything I’ve been going through the past year, could’ve been avoided. Anyway, after I started rereading the series, it was like something changed, and a lightbulb switched on again! It was so surreal!! My passion for reading has come back again! I feel like the reader I was 10 years ago, again! My spark came back, and I’m excited about books again! I feel motivated to read again, and am obsessed with books again! My reading slump is finally gone, and I feel alive again! I never stopped reading all of these years, but I just didn’t feel like myself. Like the old me, who loved books, and didn’t hate everything I read. My reading stride is back now too! I used to read a book a week! I read a lot slower now, but I feel like my spark is back.
I wanted to post this for myself, but also to help anyone that’s reading this. I can’t believe picking up an old favorite series, is what broke my months-long reading slump. It was so obvious! It brought me joy, and reminded me why I love reading so much! I mean, obviously I love reading, considering I made a job out of it, lol! It feels so good to be alive, and my spark is back! I’m also loving my current read. I think my luck has come back with books, because I’m finally reading good books again, and I’m actually enjoying books again! So, my advice to you is, if you’re in a reading slump, reread a favorite book/series. It will get you out of it! Thanks so much for reading!! I hope your reading life is going well right now! Have a great day, and happy reading!!
