If you’ve found yourself staring at a stack of unread books with zero motivation to crack one open, you’re not alone. Reading slumps happen to even the most devoted book lovers, but the good news is: they don’t have to last forever. Here are five practical, low-pressure ways to reconnect with your love of reading and get back into the rhythm of turning pages.
1. Revisit a Favorite Read
Sometimes the best way forward is to go back. Pick up a book you’ve already read and adored—something comforting, familiar, and guaranteed to deliver. Reconnecting with characters and stories you love can reignite that emotional spark and remind you why you started reading in the first place.
2. Set Small, Manageable Goals
When reading feels like a chore, giant reading goals can backfire. Instead, commit to something simple—like reading five pages a day or for just 10 minutes before bed. These tiny habits can quickly snowball into momentum, helping you ease back into the flow without pressure or guilt.
3. Change the Format
Who says reading has to be traditional? If standard novels aren’t grabbing your attention, try an audiobook during your commute, a graphic novel with stunning visuals, or even a short story collection you can dip in and out of. A change in format can reset your brain and make reading feel fresh again.
4. Curate Your Environment
Your space plays a huge role in your mindset. Create a cozy reading nook with a soft blanket, warm drink, and good lighting—or take your book outside for a fresh change of scenery. Turning reading into a ritual or experience helps transform it from obligation into enjoyment.
5. Go on a Blind Date with a Book
When nothing on your shelf is calling to you, let the book choose you instead. Try picking up a mystery book where you don’t know the title, author, or plot—just a few clues to spark curiosity. The surprise element can break the cycle of indecision and make reading feel like an adventure again.
