[Top Ten Tuesday] How To Get Back Into Reading After A Slump

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about ways I pull myself out of a reading slump. I don't feel super comfortable only recommending specific books because different readers have different tastes. Plus, I think being in a reading slump is different for each reader. Instead while recommending a few books I am also recommending methods that work for me, so I hope they can work for you!

Let's jump right into it!

Take A Moment Monday: Reading Slumps, Anxiety, & Distractions

Take A Moment Monday is something I stumbled upon while checking out new blogs. One being the ladies at KickAss Chicks who do Take A Moment Mondays. So I definitely recommend their blog. I am not sure if they created this blog trend, but if not and you know who did I'll credit them.

For me, Take A Moment Monday will be something I do when I feel like I need to get something off my chest (bookish or not), if I feel like I need to give live updates for whichever reason, maybe have a section where I am talking wedding planning, and document my life a little more often. I would love to have more updates on my blog of wedding planning so I can look back. Of course, this is a reading blog, so if this life update kind of blog isn't for you I understand. I hope you'll stay though. I don't doubt I'll talk books at least a little in each one. I may go this weekly, I may do it a couple times a month. I don't want to force myself, but I like the idea.

[Top 5 Wednesday]: Getting Out Of Reading Slumps

It's time for this week's Top Five Wednesday! This has been created by gingerreadslainey and it also has a Goodreads group. I am hoping to do these posts (or other weekly Wednesday posts) more often as long as I am interested in the current prompt! This week's prompt will be talking about the five ways books I recommend to get over reading slumps. Readers are so different, so I am going to try to have a variety of genres to choose from because I know some readers that get out of slumps by reading fantasy, but others may need contemporary.
