What's the Deal with Reading Slumps

     Happy Sunday everyone! Today's topic is a rant about how mad I am at myself for my recent behavior... This behavior is my indefinite reading slump.

    If you don't know what a "reading slump" is, the Urban Dictionary defines it as "Not being able to pick up a book and read because you just can't, you just can't read." Lucky me, this is my current situation and has been since April. The worst thing about reading slumps is you can't describe why it's happening. There is one side of my brain desperately wanting to pick up a book but a much stronger side stops me from doing it. 

    Remember around two weeks ago, I said my next read is "In Five Years" I still have not gotten around to it. If you have ever gone through a reading slump you know how incredibly frustrating it is. 

    In February, I bought way too many books from Target because they were having a good sale, and I still have not read a single one. I want to, so badly, but something just pulls me away from my books. 

    I miss picking up a book and reading the ink on the page. Next time I read I'm going to try annotating. I've seen these SUPER aesthetic Instagram posts where they have cute highlights and notes next to heart-melting quotes and I want to be that girl. Except, my handwriting won't be as dainty as theirs.

    Alright, I am dedicated to this now. Next post, I would have at least ATTEMPTED to read a book. I'll let you know.
