Things to do when you’re book slumped

 

Well friends, if you’re friends with me on Goodreads you’ve seen me change my current read a handful of times recently, as well as go MIA altogether. This is due to the simple fact that I’m officially slumped AF. I’ve been “reading” Truthwitch for well over a week now (probably closer to two, if I’m being honest) and I just can’t seem to connect. I know this isn’t because the book is uninteresting. Quite the opposite. I’m very interested in Safi and Isuelt and where their adventure is going to take them. But I just can’t seem to stay focused for longer than a few pages. I blame Victoria Schwab and my friends who were in my home, distracting me for a week. Anyway here’s a hasty, stupid list of things you can do when you’re book slumped because I haven’t blogged in a minute:

 

• Stare at your bookshelves every ten minutes
• Open your current read
• Close it
• Research paleo diets because you’re getting pudgy
• Eat a pizza instead because that’s too hard
• Wash every article of clothing in your apartment
• Sleep
• Wash your clothes again because you left them in the washing machine when you fell asleep
• Clean the apartment
• Wash your clothes again because you didn’t hang them up and they got wrinkled because you’re trash
• Add more music to your weird indie/folk playlist
• Watch home improvement tv shows
• Sleep
• Take bookstagram photos of the books you aren’t reading (trash)
• Throw yourself into your schoolwork
• Try to get rid of the cat smell in your office
• Wash your hair because you can’t remember how long it’s been up in this bun
• Scroll through social media until you’ve seen every new post
• Do it again just in case
• Clean the apartment again
• Online shop for more books that you won’t read
• Remember you literally have no money
• Cry
• Sleep
• Make a protein shake and only drink half of it
• Go to the gym because your boyfriend is paying for it
• Do 10 minutes of cardio
• Die
• Do abs because you’re getting pudgy
• Complain about it for the rest of the day
• Bug your boyfriend until he buys you Starbucks
• Try to get him to buy you books because you’re trash
• Pout when he doesn’t
• Do the dishes you’ve been avoiding, you garbage human
• Try to read again
• Fail
• Sleep

 

Hope this helped !!!!!!! (just kidding… please laugh at my self-deprecating humor)
