Lets Talk About Reading Slumps

Hey Everyone!

So I posted something earlier this year about how I'm not going to apologise about going away for periods of time and I'm going to resist doing that now, even if not apologising is going against every British bone in my body. 

Just to give you a brief outline though, something happened in my personal life (again), and I didn't cope too well. But I'm not going to talk about this here because really I don't want to talk about this here. 

But something I will talk about is the impact it's had on my reading, because I haven't read a single book since February, and that's just crazy to me. I've never had a reading slump this bad before, I am just so unmotivated to read right now and I can't seem to get out of it and I have tried everything. 

I've tried buying books and putting them on my bedside table but it hasn't helped, I've borrowed books from the library and it's not helped, I listened to 95% of an audiobook I really enjoyed but I just couldn't finish it, even though it was really good! I've read book reviews and watched booktube videos, I've tried hard and easy reads, I've even tried to read some really shitty books in the hope they'll annoy me enough for me to read and then complain about on here. But nothing has worked!

It's kinda why I'm posting this now, I'm hoping if I post on here again and act like I want to keep posting on here maybe I'll be able to read again, even if I don't blog about it. I've got desperate basically. 

So I think I'm going to post this and then maybe a review for a movie I watched recently, and then maybe write something about Avenger's Endgame - because oh my god there was some real bad writing in that, some that was also very good, but also some that was spectacularly bad. But I'm hoping maybe if I set up some sort of routine with this maybe I'll also be able to set up some sort of routine with my reading too?  I don't know it's a desperate plan, but I am getting desperate. 

Honestly I don't know what else to do. I was wondering also, if anyone's reading this, if you had any tips for getting over reading slumps? Anything that you've found helps you that I haven't tried yet please let me know! I really want to read again but I'm so unmotivated to and I guess that's the real bitch when it comes to reading slumps.
