The 5 Stages Of A Reading Slump



The two words that send fear into a blogger's heart, that makes them weep while looking at their growing TBR piles.....those two words? Reading Slump

It is something most readers and bloggers will experience at some point, I have encountered it many times this year alone, but it is something that you can and will get over.....eventually! 


Here are the 5 common stages of a reading slump: 


Stage 1) DENIAL 

This is the stage where you may be starting a new book but you can't get into it so you pick up another and its the same again. 

What? I'm not in a reading slump....no way 

*tries unsuccessfully to begin fifteen different novels and fails*




Stage 2)  NOLSTALGIA

Hey remember that time you weren't in a reading slump? Yeah, good times. 

At this stage you think about the books you've read previously or that one book you just finished that was so good it has put  you into this reading slump because you. cannot. stop. thinking. about. it! 



Stage 3) OTHER ENTERTAINMENT SOURCES

At this stage you remember all those TV shows you used to watch before you used that time for reading.
