I didn’t really read from 2013-2015. I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and other issues and I couldn’t concentrate and I wasn’t inspired by anything in my TBR pile. I made up for it in 2016/2017 ?
I didn’t read much until I was 16. I read HP when I was 13(2007), and that was all I’d read until I read Twilight in late 2008(around the time the movie came out) I read a bit more after that, but my real love for reading started after finishing the Percy Jackson series in 2011, so I’ve only been an avid reader for about 6 years now. The worst slump I’ve been in since becoming an avid reader has been going on for a year now, but it seems like I’m finally getting out of it!
10 years…..I come out of all my hobbies and interests because my mother died and I toke it really badly……..it felt like I died too. But thanks to booktube I got back into my love for reading and also the people who do arts and crafts videos helped me get back into making scrapbooks etc again
Thanks hun, getting back into reading and my other hobbies because of youtube/booktube has really helped me get a new outlook on life again. So glad booktube helped get u back into reading……booktube Has also inspired me to start my own booktube chanel I January and recently I have just started a twitter account based on books and reviews etc I think it’s amazing how booktube has helped so many people and also inspired them
Well I have not put videos up yet going to start in January but I have made one so in January i can get right into it, but I have already started with a twitter account……what’s ur channel hun I will subscribe ????
Still in it. Since I started college in 2015 I’ve just never felt I had the time and when I do have time I feel like I should be using to be productive in some other way related to school.
I’m sure you can squeeze it in. Even if it means cutting out an hour of tv a week or maybe a few hours. Or maybe audio books while ur doing boring chores ?
Sort of. I’m picking up a couple books here and there. But its taking me forever to get through them… it used to take me like 2 days to breeze through a book.
mine was probably 2 years, right after i binge read the Divergent series with my sister. i know i’m of the minority here, but that series F’d me up ??? i loved it SO much that i didn’t think i’d ever love something so much again. i think it also had to do with what was going on in my personal life. i got some things figured out and taken care of, and now i’m the happiest i’ve ever been, book funk free!
I’ve been in and out of one for the past few months. I usually read anywhere from 10-20 books a month and I’m pretty sure I’ve read maybe 6 books in the 4 months. Serious reading slump for me! ?
A year and a half, after I had my son nothing held my interest at all but when my daughter was stillborn I got into reading again, I couldn’t read enough. Really helped me through the most horrendous part of my life
Uhm 2014- the beginning of 2017 working so much in the beginning of 2014 (3 jobs).. Then got pregnant at the end of October of 2014 so up until june of 2015 I worked and slept the whole time lol. Just started reading again this year only 6 books down but I’m happy I’m back at it
Right after graduating college with a degree in English. Had to read so much for school, I had nearly forgotten what it felt like to read for pleasure. Lasted nearly a year.
I’m in a slump now and don’t know how to get out of it. I’m trying readathons, buddy reads, and reading challenges and nothing’s working for me. I’m doomed.
Unless you count fanfiction, probably 4ish years. I got really into Wattpad maybe 5 years ago, and that was all I would read, and then from there, I got into fanfiction. Haven’t been TOO interested in real books since. Anyone have the same problem?
I didn’t read the entire time I was in college.. so 5 years. I just hated reading after so much studying. Then about 6 months after I graduated, I picked up a book and never looked back. I read several a week now.
6 years My whole previous relationship, I had to do EVERYTHING for my daughter, which I don’t mind because I love her to death, however it left NO time for me to do the things I needed/wanted to do. I had to drop out of school, because there was no time for that. I had to leave work because there was no time for that, I had to stop reading my books because there was no time for that.
Probably about 2 months

Since I moved which was almost 2 years ago I barely read. Really back into it the past month, i just don’t want to ever stop reading like that again

College. 2010 – 2013 I didn’t really read. 2014 was when I really started reading again.
YEARS! Twilight ruined me for so long. I refused to believe I’d find other books entertaining after those

I’m sorry for your loss, i can imagine it up roots every thing. Booktube helps me get into it and encourages me

Probably about two years and counting ?
Two years.
Did u get out of it?
Sort of. I’m picking up a couple books here and there. But its taking me forever to get through them… it used to take me like 2 days to breeze through a book.
I just got back into it this month. Been reading quick reads, less then 400 pages. Most contemporary I’ve read in my life but its helped somehow
Sometimes it’s good to start back up with easy reads!
3 days..
Good for you!! I hope it stays that way
3-4 years
Oh yeah!! The books thats got me back into reading were Barry Lygas, I Hunt Killers, Game & Blood of my Blood
mine was probably 2 years, right after i binge read the Divergent series with my sister. i know i’m of the minority here, but that series F’d me up ??? i loved it SO much that i didn’t think i’d ever love something so much again. i think it also had to do with what was going on in my personal life. i got some things figured out and taken care of, and now i’m the happiest i’ve ever been, book funk free!
Thats great! I really loved that series, i had some disappointments but overall im happy I read it.
6 months! But can’t believe some of these book ruts!!
I never stopped reading I might taken a brake from it

Helped me through my miscarriage too. It’s a very comforting past time.
It definitely is ?
I’m glad it brought such comfort during such difficult times.
Uhm 2014- the beginning of 2017
working so much in the beginning of 2014 (3 jobs)..
Then got pregnant at the end of October of 2014 so up until june of 2015 I worked and slept the whole time lol.
Just started reading again this year only 6 books down but I’m happy I’m back at it
About 1 year hahahaha
2 years!
My college years. I didn’t read for fun.
On and off for 4 years (high school). Mostly on
Right after graduating college with a degree in English. Had to read so much for school, I had nearly forgotten what it felt like to read for pleasure. Lasted nearly a year.
I’m in a slump now and don’t know how to get out of it. I’m trying readathons, buddy reads, and reading challenges and nothing’s working for me. I’m doomed.
People keep going ahead of me in the buddy reads and it makes me more depressed and not want to read at all. It sucks so much.
Maybe read a short stand alone on your own. That’s what i did
Thanks! I’ll give that a try.
Unless you count fanfiction, probably 4ish years. I got really into Wattpad maybe 5 years ago, and that was all I would read, and then from there, I got into fanfiction. Haven’t been TOO interested in real books since. Anyone have the same problem?
2 years and it sucked my only reprieve was audiobooks stupid mental illness
I didn’t read the entire time I was in college.. so 5 years. I just hated reading after so much studying. Then about 6 months after I graduated, I picked up a book and never looked back. I read several a week now.
Two to maybe three years
About two horrible years
6 years
