So by now you know I’m in a reading slump. But I am not one to sit idle while the city burns. That’s right. If I’m going down, I’m going down fighting. And you know what that means…
That’s right. It’s on like donkey kong.
So what have I done? I took you’re lovely advice that y’all left in the comments and made a master plan of attack.
Phase One: The Cold Turkey Cutoff
First off, most of you advised me to take some time off from reading. So that’s what I’m doing. I’ve already had 3 days without reading and I actually feel a bit better, a little more relaxed. It’s weird sitting in silence, doing other things because usually I have an audiobook playing, but it’s also been kinda nice!
Phase Two: The Netflix Binge
Next, most of you said to do something else with my spare time, like binge on Netflix. So Netflix, here I come! I’ve been meaning to watch more of Jessica Jones and catch up on Reign anyway.
Phase Three: The Fluff Read
Finally, when I’m finished Netflixing, I plan on easing back into reading with a light, fluffy read or a graphic novel/comic book, like some of you suggested. I’m thinking of going with The Crown by Kiera Cass (even though I can’t stand Eadlyn–but that’s a different post), what do you think?
Sounds like a good plan. Good luck!
thanks!
This is a super master plan! May the odds be ever in your favour!
lolz, thank you 🙂
thanks!
Sounds like a great plan although another idea is re reads. I sometimes do that when I can’t face a new book. Re read something I love, not from cover to cover, just my favourite bits.
Hope you win the fight 🙂
that’s a great idea too! it’s a little hard to reread just my fave bits though as i listen to audiobooks, but i can with my physical books! maybe i’ll do that…

Hahah love this post! You’ll be back reading in no time 🙂
thanks, shannon!
Great plan. Good luck.
thanks!
This is not just a master plan. This is, like, an emperor plan! 💕 Especially love the Netflix-binging. Hope you return to the reading mood soon! 😄
haha, thank you mariana! i’m slowly getting back into the swing of things!
YAAS, Netflix and fluffy reads! Those always help me when I’m in a slump. & Jessica Jones is the BEST!
hooray for netflix binging! i’ve only seen 1 or 2 episodes of jessica jones, but it was really good!
Should definitely try Once Upon A Time, Baby Daddy, The Ranch, Grace and Frankie, and Scream! And Drop Dead Diva is a great binge watching tv show, it has 6 seasons!
oooh! i’ll definitely check those out!
let me know what ya think!
definitely will!
Exactly how I would tackle the slump! 🙂 You’ll be back to reading in no time.
haha, thanks, fatima!
Sounds like a great plan! Graphic novels and comics work for me every single time 🙌
thanks, lauren! i’m really looking forward to reading some great graphic novels and comics!
