How to overcome reader’s block. I haven’t been reading lately. 🙁
I’ve found that for me sometimes reading Graphic novels or Manga can help get me reading again. Or other times (after a lot of searching) I find a book that will get me reading again.
I am planning to read Shadow of the Wind for a come back.
@Zara I’ll be anxious to hear what you think of it. Its been on my list for awhile
sure. I’ll review this book as soon as possible, once I ll be done with the reading.
Re-reading old favorites usually helps me
I’d love to reread them. Thanks ?
🙂
Just let it come naturally again… Don’t force yourself…I have started some books n I haven’t finished a single one 😉
you’re so on point. I started a book and couldn’t go past few pages
Same here dear I have started some 5 books n stuck on first few pages
Also read Harry Potter till 3rd part n half of fourth 🙂
I hate the sight of bulky books now ??
The thicker the better for me 🙂
same here. Soon I’ll be back too ??
I had that for a long time and still have it on and off from time to time. The trick is not to push it. The more you push it, the longer the block will last. Just try to find something else to do, reread some old books, it’s always easier than old one and just wait. Patience is key even though it’s pretty annoying.
I have the same problem. The passed few weeks I haven’t wanted to read. I bought Steelheart from my local thrift store & it’s helping me out very much. Just finished the prologue & love it.
thanks for the recommed ?? i ll search that book
You’re welcome. The author is Brandon Sanderson & there are three books in the series.
Happens sometimes..U can reread your favourite books series etc or buy a book u always wanted to read … it usually helps
Thank you ??
Ur welcome Zara … Hope u can overcome ur reading block with all our solutions … ?
yes soon ??? stay blessed
U too ??
It happens. Usually, once I pick up a book that’s all I want to do is read. But lately it’s been a struggle and it took me *weeks* to finish a book that I’d ordinarily have completed within a few days. Feel free to let yourself do other things. You’ll come back to it eventually. Or you can pick up books (new or known) and just see which one catches your attention enough to bring back the desire to read again 🙂
I am busy in other things like doodling and sketching. Maybe that’s why I am sacrificing the reading.
That’s what I have been doing. I’ve been more interested in playing my video games and writing than reading lately. What I’ve taken to doing is when I’m out of the house and know I’m going to end up waiting, I’ll bring my book. So at home I can do whatever I want but when I’m out I’ll reserve it for books. It helps having a “schedule”.
Give it a time..u ll get over this period..it happens to me from time to time..until i find a book that intrigue me ..and am back again to my addiction
I have a series I need to read. So I took the book and stuck it in the car to read while I wait to pick up my kids. Not going super fast but it’s worked .
Read an old reliable. =)
Also happens to me frequently, especially after reading a good book! No book captivated me after reading: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah.
Me too.i won’t be able to start a new novel immediately after I finished reading a good novel ..
I found that rereading a favourite always gets me in the mood 🙂
I reread my favorite series and just read an old reliable, until u find a book that u want to read then you should be good, im trying to get through one roght now too. ?
thank you people ????????☺☺
I’m remodeling a house and moving and haven’t read in 2 months. I just don’t have the time or energy to read! I tried listening to audio books and they seem to be lighting my reading fire ? ? maybe when your life settles and the thing that is in the front of your mind is done, you will swing back into reading?!
yes worried about a few things and planning them. ☺
you know what, you just made a highly motivational quote in your comment i.e ” maybe when your life settles and the thing that is in the front of your mind is done, you will swing back” I am highly impressed dear ??. do you write ?
I do! When I have time ? I’m working on 2 fantasy books and I also write (bad) poetry as a hobby. Thank you ???
your words are my saviour. All the best for your writing.
Sometimes rereading a favorite will get me out of my slump.
yes
I went 6/12 months one time from 2/3 books a month. Sometimes I think we need a rest and maybe something else is keeping you interested. I was having a bad patch and couldn’t concentrate on reading. Little did I know it was probably the one thing that would have helped x
my case
try something different
Sure 🙂
Sacrilege …?. Take some walks, relax and don’t fret about it. Sometimes reading my favorite book frm childhood reminds me how much I love to read.
I’d love to ??☺
Mysteries, suspense, psych thrillers work for me. Authors: Agatha Christie, Mary Higgins Clark, Jeffery Deaver, Tana French, Joy Fielding.
Agatha Christie on my tbr pile.
Re reading usually helps ! Also watching series or listening music, idk if you’ve read The coldest girl in coldtown by Holly Black it helped me with the block I had
I’d love to
I have never had reader’s block.
lucky you
