Honestly, this has happened to me for a few years and I used to love reading. I tried everything but, the thing that’s actually worked: I’ve got a mate who has similar tastes in books to me and she reads a idly. The more I’d talk to her about books by our favourite authors, that I’d not yet read, the more motivated I became \ud83d\udc4dI’d also push through if I wasn’t enjoying a book to ensure completion and I read somewhere that, life’s too short to continue reading a book you’re not enjoying. Put it down and pick up another \ud83d\udc4d also start small, don’t try to get stuck into a tomb of a book look at thinner, light hearted books at first, to re-establish the habit \ud83d\udc4d but the biggest help for me was, having a mate who loves reading and feeling like I was missing out whenever I’d discuss our favourite authors. So maybe join a book club or explore books with close friends for the first time \u2764\ufe0f<\/div>\n<\/div>
