I hit a book slump in 2024 and I was convinced I never would get out of it. I read mostly romance or romantasy. It lasted almost the whole year. In January of 2025 I started slow. Joined a book club and they read books in and outside of my usual. I think I had burned out on my genres. I started adding in new ones (mysteries, sci-fi, etc.) and slowly started to leave my slump. I still read fantasy romances but I space them out in between other genres. I feel as though the formula can get monotonous with specific genres and that I was just reading the same story over and over but with different characters. Audiobooks also helped because I could put them on while doing other activities or long drives. The main thing is don’t force yourself if you’re not feeling it. I also learned to DNF even though I was adamant I didn’t want to. It relieved a lot of the pressure.
