I used to read alot devouring books on the bus to school/work (almost like the movement help my dyslexia 😂) but recently I have been struggling to get into books having not been able to get past the first few chapters. Do yous have tips or methods for when you’re in a bit of a reading funk?

  • I usually turn to reading shorter stories when that happens and/or switch up the genre. I am pretty big fan of short stories and novellas, it’s amazing seeing a complete story condensed in like, a 100 pages. Plus they’re quick to finish and typically give me a dopamine hit that has me picking up another story to read afterwards (last time I read Becky Chamber’s “A Psalm for the Wild-built”, highly recommend it if you read sci-fi!). Depending on mood/mental state, I then usually either keep reading shorter stories, or move on to a longer book.
