I read it with a goal. Like 60 pages a day until I feel myself wanting to read more. That always seems to work.

Give myself a break from reading. The first book I pick up after the break will be the book I'm MOST excited to read and KNOW I will love.
I'm a mood reader so I find picking up a book difficult

I'm a mood reader so it's usually a book a day or nothing for months. 😅 Sometimes a quick, lighthearted fanfic or novella helps.

This is exactly why I love audiobooks! Sitting down and reading makes me so tired to the point that I lose interest in the book. It can also be difficult to even find the time to sit down to read. I usually listen to an audiobook while doing chores.

It's the opposite for me, I've been on a roll reading wise! I read A Study in Drowning, Funny Story, Once Upon a Broken Heart, the sequel and Butcher & Blackbird back to back and I've never read this fast. Five Broken Blades is next and I feel like this reading burst is not ending anytime soon!

@@jaimefok I gave it 3 stars! I liked some aspects (the setting, the themes explored) and others not so much (underdeveloped characters and plotlines, plot holes). A lot of people say it's dark academia but I disagree. It's more gothic IMO. And there's a big focus on trauma and anxiety. Overall, a lot more deep and serious of a read than I initially thought, which is not a bad thing.
I loved Six Crimson Cranes. 🥰

Reading slumps are such a struggle. It’s hard to know what book is actually going to be good enough to get you out of the slump. I’m currently in a slump from reading a 5 star book and not finding anything that is living up to that one. (But maybe I should check out Six Crimson Cranes) Also, you should save Life’s Too Short for the winter Holiday season. It’s set around that time and would just add to the coziness. I really enjoyed it and almost teared up a few times while reading it.

I swear Libby does that on purpose. It will be nothing for a while and you are scrounging for books to read, and then all of a sudden you are bombarded with every book you have on hold at the same time.
I just keep trying different books until I find one that clicks. Usually in a favorite genre.

Personally, when I am in a reading slump I give myself the time to recover and do other activities and then usually I pick up a book with many short stories, like a Raymond Carver book

I'm glad you got out of your reading slump. And that it was Six Crimson Cranes that got you out of it. I have the book, but have yet to read it. Earlier this year, I was in a reading slump. I tried to get out of it by reading cozy, light books. Then I read The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi. It is the opposite of cozy. It really drew me in. I was invested in the characters. I realized that i need to read intense books that engross me. I can mix them with the cozy books. But just reading cozy books doesn't work for me
