But realistically? Life happens. Emails pile up, errands calls, and work or school takes over. And then, you open social media and suddenly everyone seems to be posting monthly wrap-ups of 30+ books. Before you know it, you\u2019re somehow feeling behind in a race you had no idea you\u2019d signed up for in the first place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While reading 30+ books is a &#8220;superhero-level&#8221; achievement, it can get into your head.The worst part is when this pressure turns into a <strong>reading slump<\/strong> , making a hobby that should be comforting feel like another chore on your to-do list<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If that sounds familiar, no worries. We\u2019ve all been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering <strong>how to get out of a reading slump<\/strong> , here are my five tried-and-true tips to take the weight off your shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways: How to Get Out of a Reading Slump<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Audit Your Goals:<\/strong> Stop chasing numbers and prioritize pleasure over &#8220;the count.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Power of the DNF:<\/strong> Use the \u201cPage 50 Rule\u201d\u2014if you aren&#8217;t hooked, let it go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change Your Medium:<\/strong> Switch to audiobooks or graphic novels to lower the barrier to entry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Revisit Comfort:<\/strong> Reread an old favourite to remind your brain why you love reading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t forget that reading is for pleasure!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing more enjoyable than following your own rhythm. Sometimes we forget that! But after all, the main point of the reading experience is to bring us pleasure and relaxation, isn\u2019t it? If your brain feels tired, let it rest. You can always come back to the book when you feel ready.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reviews can wait!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the world of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/\">Goodreads<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thestorygraph.com\/\">StoryGraph<\/a><\/strong> , it feels like you need to post an opinion the second you finish. But reviews can wait. What matters is that you enjoyed the journey. Let the book settle and put your thoughts into words only when you feel truly ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Break the Numbers Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We often set arbitrary goals, like <a href=\"https:\/\/bookinfluencers.com\/blog\/creative-reading-challenges-without-goals\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/bookinfluencers.com\/blog\/creative-reading-challenges-without-goals\/\">finishing 100 books a year<\/a>. While these goals can be fun and motivating, these can feel like a reminder of what we <em>haven&#8217;t<\/em> done when life gets busy. In my experience, it is much more important to use reading as a way to switch off from daily stress than to chase a number. Be kind to yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Power of the DNF (Did Not Finish)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Oooooh, scary! I know! But I promise you, you absolutely do not need to push yourself to finish something you don\u2019t like. It\u2019s okay! Sometimes it just isn\u2019t working. Maybe the story isn\u2019t clicking with you, maybe the characters are frustrating, or maybe it\u2019s simply not the right time for it. That\u2019s fine! Look at the other books patiently waiting for their turn. I can bet you have a pile staring judgementally at you right now. Don\u2019t worry mine does too! I work on a<strong> Rule of 50<\/strong>. If a book doesn&#8217;t grab me in the first 50 pages, then bye for now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it&#8217;s OK to DNF a book<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>DNF-ing, or not finishing a book can be a contentious matter to some people. Some readers believe in powering through every book regardless of enjoyment. And that is absolutely fine, but when you&#8217;re in a book slump, sometimes forcing your way through a book that you&#8217;re just not vibing with isn&#8217;t the play. You could use the <strong>&#8216;soft DNF<\/strong>&#8216;, put the book down with the intention of revisiting when you&#8217;re feeling better. For me, DNF&#8217;s are important because if I force my way through a book I&#8217;m probably not going to enjoy it and it will probably get a low rating. But sometimes it really is me, not the book, so putting it down and coming back weeks, months, maybe years later is OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thestorygraph.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/bookinfluencers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-15-111058.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bookinfluencers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-15-111058.png 851w, https:\/\/bookinfluencers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-15-111058-700x379.png 700w, https:\/\/bookinfluencers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-15-111058-768x416.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Out of a Reading Slump by Changing Your Medium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing that works for me when I just can\u2019t get into a story is changing the way I read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Switch to an <strong>audiobook, <\/strong>especially while doing chores or exercise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>swap the heavy hardcover for an <strong>e-Book<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pick up a <strong>manga or comic<\/strong>, for a visual break<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>try a <strong>different genre<\/strong>; struggling with a dark thriller?

I pick up that <a href=\"https:\/\/bookinfluencers.com\/blog\/books-that-got-us-reading\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/bookinfluencers.com\/blog\/books-that-got-us-reading\/\">one favourite book <\/a>that feels like home every time you open it. There is something incredibly comforting about returning to familiar characters and scenes.

It\u2019s about taking the pressure off and remembering why you love reading in the first place. So slow down, change things up, reread an old favourite, or put the book down for a while if you need to. The stories will still be there when you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all want to read for hours. But realistically? Life happens.
