I’m in such a book slump rn

I’m currently reading king of pride and I’m in the biggest book slump and have been on this book for over 2 weeks and I still haven’t made it through the first 100 pages help 😭😭

2024/7/30 Edited to

Book slumps can be frustrating, especially when you’re invested in a title like 'King of Pride'. There are several reasons why readers experience slumps, including fatigue from overwhelming reading goals or a lack of engagement with the material. To overcome this, try setting smaller, manageable reading goals, such as reading for just 10-15 minutes a day. You could also explore different genres or authors to spark your interest. Joining a book club or engaging with online reading communities can provide motivation and new recommendations. Lastly, allow yourself to take breaks; sometimes, stepping away can help refresh your love for reading. Remember, it's okay to take your time with a book or set it aside. Reading should be enjoyable, not a chore. Embrace the journey and find joy in rediscovering your favorite pastimes!
