How to Get Out of a Reading Slump 📚 (Understanding Why It Happens + How to Fix It) 💭✨

Описание: Welcome back to Read & Ready 💄📚 — my cozy little corner of the internet where we get ready together, chat about books, and unpack all the thoughts that keep us up at night. Today, I’m talking about something so many of us deal with but don’t always admit out loud… the dreaded reading slump.

If you’ve been staring at your TBR with zero motivation, picking up books only to put them right back down, feeling guilty about not reading “fast enough,” or comparing your reading pace to BookTok or BookTube creators — you’re not alone. Truly. Reading slumps happen to EVERYONE, and sometimes… we accidentally create the perfect conditions for one without even realising it 😭📚

In this video, I’m breaking down:
✨ what ACTUALLY causes a reading slump
✨ how content overload affects your brain
✨ the pressure of BookTok & BookTube trends
✨ why slow reading is not a failure
✨ the guilt that comes with not reading “enough”
✨ how to rebuild your reading motivation gently
✨ small shifts that helped ME fall back in love with reading
✨ the personal habits I changed that made a huge difference

My hope is that this video feels like a warm chat with a friend who just gets it — because honestly, there is SO much noise in the online reading community these days. Everyone is reading 20 books a month, buying massive hauls, doing 24-hour reading sprints, battling massive TBR piles… and sometimes it makes us forget why we started reading in the first place.

If your reading joy feels a little lost right now, I hope this gives you permission to slow down, breathe, and rebuild a reading life that fits YOU — not the internet 🫶🏻💛
